These are good storage boxes for indoor use and they stack nicely. They look more heavy duty than they actually are as the lids don't seem to be UV Resistant and crack easily after being stored outside. The lids also collect water. This is why I only gave it 3 stars after losing a $1,400 tile saw I had stored inside a larger box. I would suggest that the designer reverse the lid and bottom design to reflect the design of a Lego Block so that the top fits into the bottom of an upper box. This would reduce water collecting in the lid and damaging what is stored inside. It would be nice if the lids were sold separately for replacements and make them UV Resistant. The locks on the lids break off too easily after a year or more and then go flying off on the freeway. Again, buyer beware, great for indoor storage but look more heavy duty than they actually are.

Quality not what it used to be, very disappointed
I have two older bins which are made much sturdier than the new ones. Purchased one recently and was going to use it with foam to store a telescope which weighs less than 10 pounds. Day one the cover cracked and also noticed the bottom of the box bowed outward when lifting the bin.. Extremely disappointed since my older bins of the same size have lasted years and are used to hold much heavier tools. Will return ASAP and won’t buy again

      These really suck, huge disappointment! Way too expensive to be this bad!! I bought 9 of these, had them one week and all of the yellow lids are cracked. The edges got bumped and cracked off. The flat middle part of the yellow lids cannot withstand any weight at all, they seem very brittle! I barely leaned against one while reaching for something and the whole thing cracked right down the middle. Total Junk! The black bottom container part seems sturdier, none of those cracked yet, but I don't have much confidence. I am going to try to exchange them for others.

        We really like these. They are the perfect size for smaller, heavier items and they are stackable. We have a bunch of these stacked up in our storage shed which saves on space and reduces clutter.

          used as a sturdy, economical planters
          drilled small hole in the side at 5 inches high to create a sub-irrigated planter (with a pipe in the bottom to create a reservoir. very sturdy construction. hold up well even when full of a lot of weight. much more economical than planters marketed for the purpose for the amount of grow space you get (i used the 27 gallon version).

            Used this tote to start baby chicks and baby ducks in. Easy to clean when needed with a garden hose. Have one extra to transfer babies into and then clean the other one. No leaks from water or manure.

            Great totes. We've been slowly switching over to these totes for our garage storage. (Previously had every style and size imaginable) Stack well and hold up great. Weve have a few for a couple of years w no complaints (other than the initial smell)

            I’ve had countless different storage bins over time. Now that I have purchased this storage bin, I won’t go back. I now have 20 of these bins storing my old high school “stuff” all the way to storing my most precious memories. Nothing has ever been damaged, broken or lost (I label each bin). Highly recommend!!!

            These bins are great for organization!
            I have found this entire series of bins to be great for a variety of organization projects. My only complaint thus far is that the plastic used on the lids can become brittle as they age. I have not noticed this issue with the bins themselves, just the plastic used on the lids. I would also really like to see other color options for the lids. The ability to organize on a color coded system could be useful for quick verification. For example: Yellow Miscellaneous, Red Welding, Blue Potable Plumbing, Black Waste Plumbing, Green Electrical and so on. I am using a variety of sizes and find them to be very useful for my tasks.

              17 gal cheaper version
              The 17 Gal. HDX bin is, possibly to save production cost, is a cheaper version from its former. I have bought this bins less than a year ago, solid. Now, this batch or the new version, under the handle area, they left out one support brace on each side. Does it make a difference? I don’t know, may is you will utilize it to carry things from here to there. I am just amazed how Co. will sacrifice the integrity of their product to save a few pennies. It’s not justifiable to the consumer. As I took a pix side by side I notice that my review has stronger evidence by the bottom mold. The bins from the past by far stronger. The newer version bend easily. And I think I have good experience with this as you can tell by my shelf. Those were all the older Bins. Be warned.

                These totes are the go to for home, farm, and business. Tough, locked-in stackable - they stayed in place stacked in the back of the truck when I had to brake hard. These totes have various uses and are good to add to homemade contraptions as part of equipment or as feeder or sorting bins, or tanks for compatible liquids. The only drawback is that the extra ridges that increase the strength, also take some extra effort to clean, compared to smooth sided totes.

                great for storage
                These are extremely useful and durable totes. They have made it through home moving and now are used to store items at the new house. I stacked these totes on top of each other in a trailer when we moved and nothing ever fell down or broke. They fit great on the husky shelves I bought from home depot as well. They are small enough to carry easily but aren’t too wide that you can’t get a good grip. I’ve had these for 4 years now and haven’t found a thing to dislike about them. They have met my expectations. Please hit thumbs up if this was helpful.

                  I love the toughness of the storage bin. Very durable, with the stackable top which makes it easy to stack other bins on top. I have many of these bin in my garage. I have summer, fall and Winter wear in them, with the items written on the lid. Such a convenient way to storaging my Holiday items as well. I will invest in more storage bins in the future.

                  These bins seem like a good storage solution and are made to stack. However, I put a somewhat heavy bin on top of another bin and a few days later noticed that the lid on the bottom bin was cracked in several places. Either this one lid is defective or you really can't load and stack them as the design would imply.

                    We used these storage bins on shelves as "raised garden beds" in our greenhouse. They are heavy duty and worked perfect for our project! In the fall, we can put the lids on to keep things tidy for the off season. I went online and ordered in store for easy pick up which was awesome due to the Covid pandemic. They worked so great, we purchased more for our daughters green house!
