Finally bit the bullet on a custom insert for my game shelf

Spent $45 on a wooden organizer from a small Etsy shop for my copy of Everdell. I was tired of the box being a mess of baggies and cards sliding around. First game night after, setup took maybe 5 minutes instead of 15, and nobody had to hunt for missing tokens. Has anyone else found a cheap insert that actually made a difference for a game you play a lot?

Honestly I spent $30 on a foam core insert for Race for the Galaxy and it took me like three hours to assemble because I'm terrible at following instructions. Setup went from digging through a ziploc graveyard to just pulling out trays though, so it was worth the sweat and swearing. My group still calls it the "fancy box" even though it's just cut-up foam board.

Is three hours of sweating really worth saving like 30 seconds of setup time?
