Here's a summary of what has been proposed plus some other items I stumbled
across. I have included a list of likes/dislikes for my storage needs.

Likes:
- metal pull handles (easy to use with "gluey" fingers)
- transparent containers
- removable containers that remain sealed
- clear labels
- easy to insert a mid-size in system
- non breakable
- easy access
- easily transportable
- large enough to get three fingers in to grab item.

Dislikes:
- allows dust entry
- "tricky" lids or latches
- heavy
