For bulky items that I wish to store without them getting dusty but don't have to worry about keeping the contents secret the 66 quart latch box is great. The clear bottom helps in identifying the contents from a distance. The latches keep the box secure even if bumped accidentally. They clean up easily and have kept items odor-free on my back porch even when the mad-hatter of fire pits in the neighborhood has a super smokey fire going. Excellent containers for grouping items not in daily use together, such as camping gear, flower pots, spare bedclothes for guests, travel accessories, gift boxes and wrapping do-dads.
I recently reorganized some photos and miscellaneous items in a closet. I had previously had everything stored in cardboard boxes. I saw a silverfish near this closet and learned that they liked to eat paper and glue. So I purchased two 66 quart clear view latch storage containers. Sterilite products are my go to products for organization. I was able to get rid of 4 or 5 cardboard boxes, safely and neatly store many photos and items in the two containers. I can see what's in them and also easily labeled the containers. I also cut down on the possibility of cardboard loving bugs and the closet looks great!
Although I own several different sizes of your storage containers, as of yesterday I purchased what is probably my 12th or more of the 66 quart storage container. The home I own, was built in the late 60's / early 70's and back then they were designed for seasonal living. Now out of neccessity the majority of "homes" are occupied fulltime 12 months a year with only a small portion still being used seasonly. This of course left many features we all hope for like storage closets to be at best minimal. Thank goodness I have a garage as I have turned that into a huge storage closet. I have portable chrome and steel shelves that hold several of these large containers on them making things very accessible to reach. It is amazing how much stuff these containers hold and how nice they keep things neat, in order and dust free. From bulky winter sweaters and fleece pants sets, to summer shorts and capris, to beach towels and bed linens. I can keep it all nice and neat and easy to locate when needed thanks to the clear containers. My newly "designed" storage area is a work in progress, but with all the wonderful various products that STERILITE has, it is making my job at organizing much easier. I just wish that STERILITE had a brochure or catalog that they could send me showcasing all their products with dimensions etc. Hope this information was helpful and HAPPY ORGANIZING !!!!

I have purchased so much so many of your products that I just love them I can see through some of them some R clear some of them gray are just wonderful I just love themand best of all they're made in America
I've had this product for 3-4 years now. I use it to store my holiday decorations and it works beautifully since it's clear. I can see what is in the box. I tend to over stuff, the latches on the ends do their job, they hold tight.
I bought six of these because I am already using several and am happy with them. You can see what's inside and they are very stackable. I have had only one problem, but customer service is excellent and it turned out to be no problem!
I will be moving into a new house as soon as we find one. Meanwhile I am using these totes to pack up things. They are about the same price as uhaul boxes and definately more permanent. I have also found by staying with the same line of totes (the purple handle ones) they stack very nicely.
