IRIS 6 Qt Clear Storage Box, BPA-Free

c est sur que pour le prix il ne faut pas s attendre à un miracle . le plastique est plutôt fin voir fragile. Je ne conseillerai pas ces boites pour une utilisation quotidienne. Je ne regrette pas mon achat.

I keep way too much stuff. I keep it for crafting, creating, building, electronics, wiring, 3d printing, whatever. I decided that clear bins were the best way to go, because “out of sight, out of mind”. I then decided I needed bins that are just big enough to store all of X, but not too big…whatever X is. I figured “about a shoebox” would be the perfect size. I also wanted these to be cheaper and lightweight, but not TOO cheap, because I didn’t want to use them sparingly. I wanted 1 box per thing, with the cord, and manual, and spare parts, etc.

These bins were near perfect. Yes…3 of the lids were cracked when I took them out of the box, but the bins and lids are what I wanted/needed. They aren’t super thick, so they can technically get damaged, but they aren’t paper thin. They’re that middle ground where you’d never try to stand on them, but you can stack them 7-8 high, full of stuff, and not worry about the lids/sides bending.

I bought a ton of the bins and just decided to sort everything. All crayons in here. All colored pencils in here. All nail clippers/files/nailcare items in here. All X in here…rinse and repeat. I found that the quality of the bins, and size of the bins, and nature of the clear bins, was perfect. I have a stack of 20 in my office closet for all the stuff that I’d want near the office, but infrequently used. I took the rest of the stuff to the basement to be stacked on shelves. Exactly what I wanted. I was able to empty my drawers, toss superfluous items, and actually reach a level of organization I’ve never had before. Mind you, I’m not ready to be an IG influencer or anything, but I’m about 5% of the way there, so get ready for me!

Seriously though, you always take a chance when buying stuff on the Internet and you wonder if you’re getting a good deal, or if you’re buying crap. These bins are cheap, but they aren’t crap. They are good, and despite being asked to hold a lot of crap (even being stuffed with a ton of batteries), they aren’t bowing or breaking, even when stacked. So maybe I shouldn’t call them cheap…but just inexpensive. You can probably get higher quality bins, but you’re also going to pay for that. I needed a butt ton of bins and crossed my fingers. I got the number and quality I wanted, for a great price, so it was the middle ground I wanted.

El tamaño de la caja está muy práctico, apílenle. El plástico no está muy grueso, pero en función del precio está bien. Lo uso para guardar lencería

Great storage boxes – especially for the price. Suggest using a rubber band around to hold lid- As the other Reviewers say …. The container lids are a little funky. Lid will snap on and will hold just fine, when lid is lined up and snapped in. Minor issue.

• Would buy again and would recommend

Enjoy

These bins are great for storage – I can see what is in them at a glance and they fit nicely on my storage rack. I have ordered other sizes of these bins before and they had placed an extra layer of cardboard on the ends and they were not cracked. This time they were a snug fit in the mailing box so they didn’t have room to add any extra padding. This is the first time I received an order of these bins and had a cracked lid. I had already packed 4 of the boxes up when I discovered the cracked lid so it isn’t worth the trouble to unpack and ship the entire order back. Best option is to fill the bin with donations to drop off without a lid on it.

I must admit being a little disappointed at how thin the plastic is on these things. I’d feel that disappointment, then remember, “Yeah but the PRICE!” I used these for housing 12 hatchling speckled kingsnakes, which are as skinny as shoestrings at birth. And snakes are escape artists anyway! The container lids were so flimsy the baby snakes could quite easily squirm right out. My intent had been to melt holes in the sides of the containers and use the lids, but that wouldn’t work. Instead, I built 1/8 inch mesh tops with 1×2 wooden frames. That did the trick and offered better air circulation anyway. And the PRICE! You can find pretty much these exact containers built with screen windows for small animals, but one container costs as much as TWENTY of these! My wife used the other 8 containers for household items and she loves them. In the end, despite the flimsiness, I had to surrender five starts.
