Just got this today, June 27, 2024 Ok, just to put to ease whether the frame is plastic or metal....it is plastic. I put a magnet to it and it doesn't stick. The plastic is nicely done and colored so it does indeed look like metal. The whole thing is light too so that's kinda a giveaway. The back of this organizer is 'open', meaning dust can get inside of this. I have mines pressed up against the wall so that takes care of that. I was under the impression that this thing had a solid backing; it doesn't. The plastic drawers are very thin and flimsy plastic. You can actually twist it. With that said, I think because the plastic used is soft there is a very unlikely chance that the drawers will ever crack or break, jmo. Also, the drawers can easily come out if you tug on it good enough. The lip to hold the drawers from coming out is so minuscule that it really doesn't do anything. Just keep this in mind in case you pull out a drawer and the entire drawer comes out and all its contents fall out as a result. This thing comes fully assembled with all the drawers in place. All you gotta do is take it out of the box and give it a good blow to blow away all the debris and you're set. I use mines for all my model building needs and this thing does the job perfectly. It holds all my sanding sticks, nippers, putty, tweezers, pens, masking tape, etc. etc. For my purposes it does what I need it to do, and am glad it's not made out of metal since the metal ones can rust. I like it so much that I ordered another one!
