This is NOT the box for Paperback collectors, but it is good for smaller books and other sizes. When filled with books, the weight is manageable. The cover locks is place, and will not pop off, as do other boxes when heavily loaded. The top and sides are mostly clear so you can see what the box contains or any signs labeling the contents. Finally, many of my books are stored in a garage, where they may be subjected to moisture and water. Plastic containers and tight covers are important.
The reason for down-grading this box is that it is not ideal for paperbacks and I would like to have a uniform set of boxes..
The size for paperbacks is 34-qt., which has been discontinued (Dec. 2013) but may come back. If it does, grab a bunch of them. It is perfect for storing two rows of paperbacks with the spine up.
Some day Sterilite may also make a box for DVD Colllectors.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Versatile, enough capacity for most regular goods without being too hard to handle and stack.

The 32 quart container size is ideal for storing household items between seasonal visits from inlaws. It provides easy clothing storage/transport with no guesswork, being about the right size to handle everything from one drawer in one container. Stacks of these containers are brilliant for concealing birthday and Christmas presents with minimal concealment requirements. If you slightly mistreat the containers, they are resilient (do not permit jumping on them, however, that is excessive). They stack well, allowing you to get floor-to-ceiling use out of otherwise dead space at the end of a hallway or behind an entertainment center. If you have a serious leak from the ceiling at night, that would normally overload a mere bucket before you could wake up and empty it- relax, 32 quarts will handle it for six or seven hours, you're covered. Works just fine as an improvised cooler, too. If you're defrosting the big freezer, a stack of these 32 quart containers will save your back, since you can just transfer straight into it, slap on the top, move over and stack the containers as you go - they'll even go back in to the freezer in the same order if you pay attention.
This is the right size container, built to the right standard, for the right range of tasks, that will survive the conditions most likely to ruin cardboard boxes and keep your precious goods both safe and instantly selectable through the transparent sides and top. You don't want to open twelve boxes to find the one with the clothes you were looking for - use these Sterilite containers and know without opening just which one you need.

These bins are made with a thick, durable plastic that suited my purpose for it very nicely. Really like the clarity in the plastic too, as well as the security of the latches.

My new favorite!

I absolutely LOVE this box! The entire series of ClearView latch top boxes with the plum handles are now my go-to storage of choice. I love that I can find the complete collection at Target (or online) whenever I need a new one. My initial intention for this size box is for an ideal home for my ball python! It sounds strange, but after much research, this box was perfect in every way. Now I have fallen in love with this style and will continue to purchase it for future needs.

I'm using these in my kitchen base cabinets. Very economical way to be able to have "pull out drawers" in my cabinets to access the back of cabinet items easily!
