Review on ๐Ÿ“ฆ Sterilite 27 Quart/26 Liter ClearView Latch Box with Sweet Plum Latches - Clear, 6-Pack by Lisa Phelps

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Excellent crates, although the Sterilite has other, more durable containers.

I don't like boxes. I want something that can last a long time and isn't a magnet for living creatures. However, sterility was the ideal solution. I like to buy just one pack if it costs less than $40 (minimum). I have several 6 liter containers and heartily recommend this guy with 5 stars. This one took off a star for the simple reason that the structural integrity isn't where I want it to be. To do this, I stick the ones into the container with a slight bend on the handles. A lot of people don't like it, but it adds structural integrity so boxes stack better. I personally like the bubble tops best, with the flat tops on the second. However, many people like it because it's essentially flat edges. That means it won't fold or crease when you put papers in it because of the curved side. This is the maximum capacity I would use with a flat edge. I also buy containers that are just over twice as deep. I set the containers 4 units up, which would most likely result in an equivalent stack of this product requiring more containers. I have an unused space that I usually want to fill with putty (to reduce the chance of cracking the hulls). If Sterilite offered several cases with exact dimensions for such functionality I would be delighted. The same applies to a special paper storage box equipped with special load test information for fully stacking containers. But I won't hold my breath.

Pros
  • Modern design. This clip-on storage box conveniently fits 16" wire shelves, making it ideal for organizing and storing sweaters, t-shirts, large craft items, and more.
Cons
  • Unsure
