When our school was looking to replace the current hat boxes, we looked into replacing them with the Nesting Box. It is perfect for marching band hats, and very durable. When there is 120+ high school kids, they need something durable. It also fits comfortably in a school bus seat without taking up much room.
I use several of these in my classroom at school for hanging file folders on each child to quickly locate information and assessments on each student. I have had them several years now and always buy more because I find so many uses for them with 25 Kinder students to keep track of. I also use them to file units we study as the year progresses. Easy to take home and back to school as I work on projects.
I have used Sterilite products to store a variety of things in my home (toys, craft supplies, spices, etc...). I LOVED the original Sterilite Show-offs. Recently the stores around me have stopped selling the Show-offs and now only sell the Nesting Show-offs. I HATE them. The latch closes up instead of down and the handles seem very flimsy and are awkward to carry. (I store my one-year old daughter's toys in them, and now they are too cumbersome for her to use, yet she was able to use the old ones without any problems. Kind of defeats the purpose if she can't use them easily...) I prefer the original Show-offs MUCH better!!! Now just to find a place that still sells them. I would not recommend this particular product- the original Show-Off was better.
knitting, quilting, painting, collecting, card stamping supplies, scrapbooking, kids school art, and can see at a glance what is in the tote...only sorry not available in multiple fun colors to designate family members collectables at a glance..
This nesting container I've found is PERFECT to put under my bathroom sink rather than having dozens of loose items on the shelf. I've combined all 3 sizes and they fit perfectly. It's also great for BOOKS, and whatever tall things you want to store vertically.
I use the large nesting showoffs as aquaria for fish in my research - and I'm not kidding !! These products are durable - each holds enough water for an in-container filter, with colored gravel on the bottom, and an air stone for about 30 small fish (fathead minnows). The lid holds the airline and filter power cable in-place so things stay tidy, I can observe the fish movements easily, they are less likely to break than regular aquaria, and they are simple to clean - no tight corners. The handles that support file folder hangers are GREAT too.
