I use this one, and it's sitting on my bedroom bookcase:

Hey, I know I'm late to this thread, but I only just now discovered this subreddit. I'm an American having the same problem, about to buy some stuff to organize and store several thousand loose LEGO pieces of various types. I too read the sorting and storage guide and, while it was great in general, its suggestions for divided drawers weren't useful (because they were all exclusive to the UK).
Anyway, I did some searching around, and I settled on some modular clear drawer organizers, to be inserted into some plastic drawers. It's more expensive than divided drawers, but I think it's more practical too, because you can take out each organizer cup, dump out its contents, put it back, etc., without disturbing the rest of the drawer's contents.
First the drawers, then the organizers.
I narrowed down my drawer choices to two options:
The IRIS drawers have a useable interior space of about 2.5" high x 9.5" wide x 12.5" long.
The Sterilite wide drawers have a useable interior space of about 2.5" high x 12.5" wide x 12.5" long.
I like that the IRIS has casters, in case you want to store in one place but then wheel them around to somewhere else to build.
I like that the Sterilite is more modular, in that you can stack as many or as few of the three-drawer units on top of each other as you want.
In the end, I decided to go all in with Sterilite, first because the drawers are wider and a little shallower (deeper and narrower drawers are worse than shallower wider drawers, because pieces get buried underneath others, and it's hard to find them), and second because the modularity makes them more flexible. I can put them on shelves, for example. And if I ever need to roll them around (store in one room, build in another), I can always get a dolly, like this one, for example, which will fit two Sterilite units side by side. Also, the IRIS drawers came cracked from amazon, because there wasn't enough padding in the box.
Now for the drawer organizers. I decided to go with STORi, which makes makeup organizers. They have a great modular system of clear acrylic cups, all 2" high, with width and length measurements that increase in increments of 3". So:
They stack inside each other as well. And they fit perfectly into both the IRIS and Sterilite drawers, in each case leaving about half an inch along both dimensions, which makes it really easy to lift one out without having to fuss. (I tried to upload a photo to imgur, but it's being fussy. If you're really curious let me know and I can try again.)
Hope this helps!
Those are all excellent. The small drawer unit also comes in a 5 drawer version:

This is an alternative for the medium drawers that fit baseplates:

This is the same height as the large drawers, in case the large quantities don't require the full wide drawer
