Great, sturdy container but the handles can break over time

This is a great, sturdy container and I have used these products for years, totalling over 40 of these larger containers. However, the handles can have the tiny nubs snap off after frequent use over about a year and a half. Unfortunately, they do not sell the handles by themself, so you have to purchase an entirely new container.
These totes saved me during our move. Not only are they super sturdy, but they kept our stuff safe and dry. The clear color was helpful when organizing the move, and we are able to reuse these after as well! We love Sterilite totes. No joke.
I've used Sterilite products for years and used to love them, but something has changed in this line of their new ClearView products. The handles fall off randomly (design flaw) and the plastic/vinyl seems to crack with the slightest bump.The plastic/vinyl is much more rigid now, unlike their previous clear bins which were very sturdy & durable. (I purchased multiples of these bins in 4 sizes and they all seem to have the same issues.)
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My favorite Sterlite product has to be this clearview latch box. I use this for storing all of my holiday decorations because you can see what is in it and not have to go through all of the storage boxes to find what you are looking for. Also, you can stack them which takes up less room.the latch also keeps the lid firmly closed, but it is easy to open.
I bought the 66 qt clear view latch tote. Purchased this to hold clothes my grandson has grown out of for other grandchildren that may come along. It's big enough to add things he grows out of for quite awhile, but not so big it will be heavy for me to move. Easy to get into and close up securely. Clear view tells me exactly what it is among my other stored items. Totally happy with it!
We bought one of these for packing while moving. It worked well for the move and stacked nicely. After the move we bought another one since it was so sturdy during the move. We are using that one and the newer one to store things in.
I love this size Sterilite storage bin because it is not too big and not too small. It holds a good amount and it's clear so you can see what is inside. Plus they are stackable which is great. I bought two because I needed to spruce up the garage. There were items that needed going through and a place to keep some of them until they are either given away or discarded.
I am a very lucky woman. My grandmother, my mother, and my sister are all "quilters," so I am the recipient of many one-of -a-kind, hand-stitched quilts, which I have stored in cardboard boxes over the years. I have too many quilts to use all at one time. I use this Sterilite container now to store my precious quilts, and I LOVE it. I can see which quilts are in which box, the stack safely in my storage closet, and best of all, they are easy to open and to close for this arthritic, elderly user. Some of my quilts are as old as 70 years, so I worried about keeping them safe. No worries anymore! My quilts are safe, and ready for me to hand down to my granddaughters and grandsons. Safe storage containers are a part of my plan, and Sterilite containers are perfect for this function
