There is at least one article receiving and holding groove in the upper surface of the drawer; each groove optionally having at least a center opening for gripping said article and preferably, when used with non-linear articles, at each end, an end opening to allow for rotation of the non-linear end of the article resting within the groove and for movement of the article out of the storage box.
