wherein the second flange comprises an opening at the selected point and the second clip assembly comprises a tab adapted to be received by the opening of the second flange for engaging the second clip assembly with the second flange; and

wherein the opening of the second flange comprises one of a plurality of openings formed at spaced-apart points along the length of the second flange.

13. A storage system comprising:

a container including:

a base and a plurality of walls extending from the base to define a storage space; and

a flange extending outwardly from a selected one of the plurality of walls;

a drawer frame including a guide of a selected length having inner sidewalls for slidably receiving the flange of the container; and

a clip assembly adapted to slidably engage the guide and to engage the flange of the container at a selected point to limit a length of travel of the container along the guide;

wherein:
