Questions & Answers

Can it handle hot boiling water?
ByFeb 8, 2026
1 Answer | 
Answer This Question

Hi Tony! The 28 qt. Storage Box is made out of polypropylene and can withstand temperatures of as high as 180 degrees Fahrenheit and as low as 15 degrees Fahrenheit. At the higher temperatures, the plastic can eventually become flexible and could warp or deform. At colder temperatures, the plastic may become brittle and may crack or rupture. With repeat or prolonged exposure to these extremes will negatively impact the performance and longevity of the items. We do not recommend to maintain a rolling boil in our items.

                  This review is from 16 qt. Storage Box
                  These storage containers were exactly what I needed to organize the smaller items in my garage. The lids fit well, the size is perfect for smaller shelves and I will be buying more of them to organize my basement.

                  This review is from 6 Qt. Storage Box
                  I like the Sterilite products and I buy them in a variety of sizes. I like to stack them to efficiently use vertical space. The variety of sizes allows me to select the size that works best for the items to be stored and the shelf or cabinet I'll be using. Quality is perfect for how I'm using them. Some people don't like how easily the lids come off, but I do. I'm not trying to tightly seal the bin and I want the lid to come off easily when I need to get something.

                  Wrong sizing
                  Size does not match label. Should be 23l x 16.5/8w x 5.7/8h Height is the closest to size. Actual size is 22.1/4 l 16.1/4 w

                  Hi Meee! The dimensions listed on our website and labels for the 28 Qt. Storage Box are the measurements taken from the widest points of the product, typically the lid or top, and include any protrusions such as latches. Inside bottom dimensions are smaller as the product tapers downward. This is the universal method for measuring housewares. The Outside Dimensions for this item measure: 23" L x 16 1/4"W x 6"H, and the Interior Dimensions at the bottom measure: 19 7/8" L x 13 5/8" W x 5 1/4" H. Please reach out to us at Consumer-Team@sterilite.com for further assistance.
                    Great box and value, so many uses. If storing shoes I would guess nothing larger than a mens size 10. I use these for organizing little tools and watch maker pieces as well as shoes in my garage. Great price and an easy way to get organized.

                    The body is sturdy plastic but the lid is quite flimsy. The lid snaps on well but is too thin to hold its structure. I am using this to store Hape Quadrilla Marble Run sets. One set fits really well inside and the transparent body ensures content visibility.

                    Excellent product; just the right size and made of clear plastic so, it’s easy to see what’s inside.

                    Lids don't snap securely to bin
                    I usually like Sterilite containers and this size is good for storage under the bed. I bought 3 at the store. I am disappointed that the lids do NOT securely snap to the bin. I store linens in these bins and I am not at all confident about lifting up the containers with the lids on because they may accidentally come off since they don't snap in place.

                      Size wrong!!!
                      Not one measurement is accurate. Length 22 not 23. Width 15 not 16 1/4. Height closer to 5 than six.
