What Customers Are Saying

Customers overwhelmingly praise these storage totes for exceptional durability, with many reporting 15 to 20 years of reliable use without cracking, even after hurricanes and heavy stacking. Reviewers love the versatility for organizing everything from holiday decorations to craft supplies, and appreciate color-coding for quick identification. The stackability and space efficiency are consistently highlighted as major advantages. However, a notable group reports frustration with lid durability, describing them as brittle and prone to cracking during use or shortly after purchase. Despite this drawback, most customers remain deeply loyal and consider the bins indispensable.

Lid replacement

Would Not Recommend

I have two totes with no lids. Because your lids broke down and cannot be used. I don’t see why I should recycle two good totes and go buy two more with lids. Most of the time they don’t get recycled and wind up in landfill. I read another customer who had the same problem. Read your reply. As far as a business is since it makes sense to you do not sell replacement lids. But to your customers, we need replacement lids.

Overall Great Product. Be careful with the lids.

One of my favorite storage bins. I have bought about 10 of them and they are a great product. It has been nine months so far, but the lids do not last very long. They started to crack and fall apart at six months. I have two of them that are no longer usable because the lids do not work on them anymore. Do you know where I can purchase a replacement lid for this product? I have looked and I cannot find a place to purchase them without buying the whole thing. Selling the replacement lids throug...

Absolute Need

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got these tubs to throw my daughter's clothes into when she has outgrown them to save for baby #2. I love that they are so easily stackable + they're a cute color so I don't mind seeing them in her closet until they are full!

Seasonal storage

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This year we went with red and green totes for holiday decor. Color coding helps to quickly identify my winter bins from the fall bins. They are easy to stack vertically to allow more storage space. Great storage solution for sure.

Big enough and space saver

Would Recommend

This is big enough for each holiday to store my holiday decorations! And saves me space in my attic so I know which one is what when I go up there based on being able to stack them nicely!

Great for baby clothes

Would Recommend

I’ve been using these since 2018 to store all of my son and daughters outgrown clothes! They allow them to stay clean and dry and are the perfect size to fit them all each season.

Great quality and size

Great tote, lid needs to stay on better

Would Recommend

Great totes to store light items! Lids could snap on better, but they do the job. Just make sure to double check and triple check for the lid to be secure.

Good storage

Love the holiday color for organizing!

Would Recommend

I am so excited that the holiday totes are color coordinated. I always tried to label totes but they tags would fall off and I’d be left guessing what was in each tote. The holiday colors make it so easy to find my holiday decor now!

Disappointed

Would Not Recommend

These were the only totes I have ever purchased. They were the perfect size for me to get into the attic and to carry without tripping over myself. They have been "redesigned" and the lid broke the first time I put it on a tote that wasn't even full. I have never had an issue with these totes and that is why I always buy them. Disappointed that I spent my money on these.

The Lids are terrible!!

Would Not Recommend

I am very disappointed in the totes. The lids are very fragile while the base totes are pretty sturdy. We tried to duct tape the cracks but that didn't last that long. Not able to get replacment lids so the bases are now usable and worthless. Will not be buying this type of tote again.

Great to use for camping/packing

Would Recommend

We use these totes to pack for all our camping trips. Makes it easy for my to set them up in my home the week before we leave and slowly add in items that we are taking. Also keeps like items together. We recently bought a RV so I will be needing more to leave in the RV with supplies. Very durable

Need totes without lids

I need more totes. I drilled holes in 10 18 gallon red totes for container gardening. Now I have 10 lids. I want to buy 10 totes without lids so I can drill holes in the lids I have for hydroponic gardening.

Sterilite 18 gallon

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love Sterilite and I see why this is a fan favorite! It’s a great size and can be filled up so much but is still able to be carried!

It’s good to have extra

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love having a few bins to use as totes fit extra things. I love rotating kids toys so that it doesn’t overwhelm the toy room. Using these bins are fabulous because they stack and are a great size for bigger toys. It’s good to have extra bins so your rooms can be a little extra spacious .

Great for everyday storage!

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love these totes. They are great for all kinds of storage in our house, from everyday decor to winter ski clothing. The lids snap firmly onto the base and provide a grip for easy lifting. And the indexed lids allow same-size storage boxes to neatly stack upon each other.

Great Size Totes

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These 18 gallon totes are the perfect size for my linen closet. They actually hold a lot for the size of them. I love that they fit right on the bottom of the closet and I can just grab out what I need.
