Review on 📦 Organize in Style: Sterilite 19618606 Small Clip Box, Clear Lid & Base w/Colored Latches, 6-Pack for Effortless Storage! by Lisa West

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Folds up beautifully, extremely modular. Added Bonus: Decent BD/CD/DVD storage with a deep size

What I really like about these sturdy boxes is how easy they stack neatly. (See photo.) Since they fold up really well, I'm thinking of using them to organize my garage. In general I am satisfied with them. The sides aren't as slanted and the edges aren't too rounded; A more rectangular shape looks neat and gives you more interior space for the same shelf space. I also love clips. I have several boxes where you flex the lid to close it and it's a lot easier to pick it up off the shelf and off the shelf with one hand without the lids bouncing off at awkward moments. I've attached a photo to give you an idea of how large they are in relation to each other and to demonstrate the wonderful flexibility of these boxes! On the right, two are shown from bottom to top: deep, large, medium, and small. On the left are two medium and one small. As you can see, two medium and small fit perfectly on top of a large or deep. Two large ones are the same height as a deep one, and two small ones are the same height as a medium one. Note, however, that the medium ones are not as tall as the deep ones, and the small ones are not as tall as the big ones. (I didn't get the mini, but based on the size I'd guess two side by side would fit on a medium/small lid, or four on a large/deep lid.) The average size is about three. cm shorter and about 2.5 cm taller than normal shoe box sized boxes, that's fine by me, I like modularity with other boxes, just enough that it's a good compromise. In some cases I even prefer it. The larger ones, as others have mentioned, are just right for an 8½" x 11" or A4 ream of paper, with enough room for the loose top and sides to easily reach such a stack. Depths can store papers too, but I won't be using them that way. (If I fold enough papers to fit in a box that big, not only is it heavy, but I'm probably violating the organizing principles that made me buy it in the first place.) File Folders to Fit - Overhanging label bothers Binder. I can fit two rows of CDs, some of which are stowed on the side. I received 45 CDs. Some space is wasted, but it's really hard to find economical storage. For CDs, a couple of cubic inches isn't such a big waste of space that I can't beat it for the price, especially considering the top and sides are clear and how much more durable it looks than some of the more expensive ones. options. (And yes, I still buy CDs, reasons for that are beyond the scope of this review.) In terms of durability - I'd advise going for light or medium, the plastic is strong but I wouldn't ask for it . them with heavy objects and then fold a few together. I would consider a more permanent option for this. Other reviewers give actual measurements, but at least one has an error, so I'll quote them again for completeness, directly from the Sterilite website: Depth: 14" L x 11" W x 6 1/4" H // 14" L x 11" W x 6" Tall: 14" L x 11" W x 3 1/4" H // 14" L x 11". W x 3.35" H Medium: 11" L x 6 5/8" W x 5 3/8" H // 11" L x 6.6" W x 5.5" H Small: 11 "L x 6 5/8" W x 2 3/4" H // 11" L x 6.8" W x 2.75" H Mini: 6 5/8" L x 5 "W x 2 3/4" H // 6.5" L x 5" W x 7 H
