Hi Sadsad! We apologize for the inconvenience you have experienced with your 56 Qt. Storage Box. This item is still being manufactured with the lid color "Cement", and can be found exclusively at Home Depot. Product quality and customer service are very important to us. Please reach out to us at Consumer-Team@sterilite.com for further assistance.
I have been buying this size for years. I use it to store seasonal clothing. The older versions of this type of storage box are fantastic and still going strong. The lids of newer version can not handle another box if stacked on top. The lid will sink with the weight of the upper box and you will not have a nice seal.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi mari005! We are sorry to hear the inconvenience you are experiencing with the lids of the 56 Qt. Storage Box. Product quality and customer service are very important to us. Please reach out to us at Consumer-Team@sterilite.com for further assistance.
I love that you can see what’s inside them so there’s no hassle of having to label them or look through each box. It’s also nice how they stack so well on top of each other, it saves a lot of space! We have these in every room of our home and love the brand!
I have used Sterilite storage boxes for 15+ years in my closets, garage, and vacation home. I'm disappointed that the quality over the years has taken a nose dive. I can never understand why manufacturers keep making their products cheaper and more disposable. Rather than having a storage box last a very long time, the new style is definitely a move in the wrong direction. The shape is more tapered with a smaller footprint at the bottom. The lids are incredibly weak and limits the stacking ability which is a main reason people buy these boxes. I'd love to know why Sterilite made a change for the worse. Wish they'd make a premium line. For people like myself that wants a quality item it's getting harder and harder to find. Ugh
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello, the 56 QT Storage Box is made of polypropylene, and designed for general household storage. Most household storage purposes do not require suggested weight limitations. Our products have not been specifically tested for various weight potential, and we suggest consumers not overload them or stack more than three high. This could cause distortion or eventual damage. When storing items away, use good judgment and be mindful of the weight in each storage box and place the heaviest on the bottom
The 56 Qt. box is great for larger items, like patio furniture cushions, umbrellas, and gardening tools. boxes are durable and airtight, so your supplies will stay safe and dry all winter long.
