An excellent concept but needs to be sturdier

I bought 5 in the last year. The first three are still going, these last 2 bought in the last 2 months have been really poor quality. The first one the mounts for the wheels warped and dropped the whole thing on it's side, the bottom was then warped so bad as to not keep it level with the wheels off. It was being used for children's clothes. and diapers. Sure the three drawers were full but it was still less then 10#'s TOTAL. That was enough for the bottom to warp and the wheel mounts to give way.
The second the bottom also warped, the wheels won't stay level, and even flat it still wobbles.
The older 3 that I have from a year ago are ALL going strong. I don't know what happened with the pre-holiday batch, but they are garbage. Sterilite has always been great for me since I was in Highschool, and I have literally HUNDREDS of their products, but these latest drawers were not up to par.
They warp in the middle and would be nice to have a system to stack on top of each other and lock in place.

A) They warp in the middle. Sometimes this causes the drawers to catch on the frame while opening or shutting. They need to have the top more reinforced.
B) They have a little ridge around the boarder on the top that is about 1/8 inch or 1/4 inch. This makes it hard to put something like a glass/drink, as it sits crooked and unstable if you set one on that ridge area. Along with the warping in the middle, it makes it virtually impossible to put anything liquid on top as causes easy unsteadiness (easier to tip over and spill). Notice how the liquid in the cup in the picture is not level. However the ridge would contain the spill from running over if that is what its purpose is for.
C) It would be nice to have a way that they could lock into each other to be able to stack them.
D) The way they are built, the frame is exposed and that collects a lot of dust along the sides.
Very useful in the laundry room. Hold dryer sheets and miss mated socks....along with detergents, irons and all other laundry essentials. I love this product!
This storage unit is the perfect size for my bathroom since I lack storage space in there. I only wish it came in an opaque white so that everyone didn't see my brand of deoderant, my makeup and other personal items.
