Abstract: A storage system and compartment are provided. The storage system includes a bottom plate, front and back plates, and opposing side plates which define a compartment to receive a storage box. The storage system is configured to interface with a secondary surface, such interface achieved through interactions between the opposing side plates and the secondary surface. In some embodiments the secondary surface is associated with a storage compartment. The front plate is dimensioned such as to leave an aperture between the front plate and the secondary surface which is dimensioned to selectively receive a storage box. In some embodiments, the front plate is angled to provide facilitate selective retention of said storage box while still allowing ease of access. The back plate is dimensioned to prevent the storage box from sliding between the back plate and the secondary surface.
