Review on Rubbermaid Easy Find Lids Food Storage Container - 2.5 Gallon Size, Racer Red - Convenient and Secure Storage Solution by Mandy Rivera

All in all, this is a decent container; Everything seems fine in terms of quality of materials, sealing etc. BUT: ATTENTION TO THE SIZE DESCRIPTION - we ordered this because we need to store homemade loaves of bread/baguettes and the description seemed to indicate the right size for our needs. But it is not. Although the dimensions are described as 16.5"L x 11.5"W, the slope of the sides is such that when you reach the bottom of the container it is only (approximately) only 12"L and only 7" " Are you. Yes, it loses a whopping 4.5 inches in length and 4.5 inches in width when you hit the ground. This is a DRAMATIC difference from the sizes given in the product description. So if you're looking for something that will hold 40 cups this seems to fit. But are you like us looking for a dimensional object and considering that it will narrow (as shown in the pictures) but have no idea HOW it narrows? Be warned! We will keep it but we will not be able to use it for its intended purpose and will now be purchasing YET ANOTHER container that actually does what we need it to be.
