[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this product! So helpful when getting my home office's paperwork, receipts and loose ends organized, especially during tax time.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love these containers. I use them for garlands and little things that need to be stored seasonally. They’re perfect!
But, I want this size with the aqua latches!!! I’ve looked and looked and cannot find them!! The aqua is perfect for my closet make-over. Please add these to your choices if you haven’t already. I have Sterilite containers in every closet, the attic, laundry room, and garage. They are all labeled and look awesome!!! Help!! I need 6QT with aqua latches!!!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love how inexpensive these are and they stack really nicely. The latching lids are a HUGE plus in my book.
The latches are very effective at keeping the lid on the container. The container itself is very sturdy, and the latches are strong enough to keep the lid secure and the contents safely inside. I use it for holding spices in my cupboard, and I have dropped it numerous times and the lid stayed in place and the container was not damaged in any way. I routinely stack things on top of this container and I have no concerns with the ability of the container to support a substantial amount of weight being put on top of it. I am very satisfied with this purchase and purchased one the larger sizes to use in my linen closet.
I've purchased hundreds of the 6 qt totes of the previous model (before 2017). The new design for 2017 are inferior in many ways. The prior design used curves around the vertices and corners, which minimizes the stress and improves strength. In all directions the prior design is stiffer and more robust. The lid latching mechanism on the prior design is much more elegant and user friendly. There is more space on the sides to put labels and still be able to see through the tote to view contents. Also, the new design is less transparent when the lid is off, since the latch is integrated with the tote body. In the previous design I could change the color of the lid handles (green, blue, cyan,...) to easily group totes by project type or progress status. [I know, I have way too many opinions about totes.] Finally, the length-to-width aspect ratio of the new design is too larger (i.e., the width is too narrow).
This container is perfect for holding my extra makeup. It keeps them clean and I can see what is it the container easily I also use another one of these for my hair ties and hair accessories.
