I bought a couple of this cardboard desk storage with two drawers at ikea - it's called Gärdesgård. Turns out It's absolutely perfect for smaller ink bottles. Pictured Diamine bottles. Sailor, and the smaller iroshizuku also works really well, the larger iroshizuku are too tall. Lennon Toolbar is just at the limit, fits (barely) without the box. One drawer holds 22 of the Colorverse colorvent bottles neatly, or all 24 if neatness is sacrificed. Hope it's useful info for others? #FountainPenInk

There are various boxes and containers in the same series that match, some of them taller, but I mostly wanted something compact for the smaller bottles. Though I am very >< close to actually repurposing a helmer for my inks.
For those who don't know: helmer (the metal desk hutch from ikea) is perfect for large nailpolish collections. The drawers are sturdy, fully removable, and tall enough. I have lined mine with thick decorative paper to make them less noisy.

And if anyone has an Ikea Eket cube shelf (or like I do, a 4-cube unit) these fit exactly in 4 in it. I bet it'd look even better in the shallow version of the shelf.
