Looking for a tea storage chest box

I have many boxes of tea in my house. Some of them have a variety of teas. I don't want to have all these boxes filled with tea packets. Instead, I want one box that can fit all the tea in it.
At first I was going to get a plastic container and put all the tea bags in there, but then I realized that this would not be a good idea because it would make it harder to find the tea I want. So, I decided to get a tea storage chest box.
I don't just want any tea storage chest box. I want it to be made of wood and have eight compartments for tea bags. I've searched for it for a long time at my local stores but was never able to find one like it, so gave up and decided to take my chances with buying it online.
I did a search on Amazon and found one I like that has great reviews and a high rating, but it costs forty bucks. That seems a bit much to pay for a tea storage chest box, and frankly I'd prefer not to spend that much on it. Can anyone recommend one that doesn't cost that much? And where to get it...

Unfortunately, I don't have anyone that can make one for me. I have to buy one, but don't want to spend a lot of money. I talked to someone yesterday though, and they told me they used to have one, but theirs cost one hundred bucks. Wow! So I know they don't come cheap. Maybe paying forty bucks for one is not a bad price.

@Genipher Probably way more than $100. Maybe I should just give in and get that one for forty bucks. It's not 100% what I want but it looks pretty nice.

$40 starts looking pretty good when compared to $100, eh? I'm even cheaper...I just use a shoe box and keep the tea organized.
I wonder how much it would cost to hire someone to custom-make you what you want?

I usually store in plastic bottles or containers. Hope you got the information

Thanks. I thought of doing that before but that would not be very convenient for me. And wouldn't look nice either.

The one we use has six spaces and a clear lid (plexiglass) that lets us see inside @lovebuglena
We know it was purchased at a Wegman's Grocery Store somewhere and given as a gift.

I don't think we have Wegman's in NYC.
The one that I saw on Amazon had glass on the lid so I could see inside the box. Had it been cheaper I'd have snatched it up right then and there.

I did a search on Amazon, as I've mentioned in my discussion. The one I like is $40. Not sure I wanna spend that much. May have to though because while there are cheaper ones there as well, I am not a fan of them, at least the ones I looked at so far.

Yeah. I had the same problem. Searching for a wooden storage but I could not find one on Amazon. So finally decided to make my own and prepared it. Of course, the finish is not up to the mark as I needed some special tools for bringing a good finish.

Wow! It's great that you were able to make one yourself. I don't have the skills or the knowledge to do that.
