Review on πŸ“¦ HOUSE AGAIN Sturdy Stackable Storage Bags/Boxes - Metal Frame, Durable Handles, Clear Window, and Zipper Closure - Ideal for Clothes and Bedding - Small, Grey by Elizabeth Morales

Revainrating 2 out of 5

very weak zippers, stitching only rips and stretches on first use

Warning as many other reviews are so positive. Yes, this type of sturdy fabric box is great for organizing. Yes, it really helps with bulky soft items that otherwise take up a lot of space (quilts, sweaters, yarn, etc.). But no, this particular version is not a good deal. They usually cost $10 each and the quality of the fabric and zippers leaves a lot to be desired. I've added them to some Risentels as they seem to be discontinued. Those old ones, you really just fill them up and then zip them up and the zip pushes the air out and compresses. This means you cannot put any pressure on the zippers. The zippers have come loose (thankfully I was able to fix that for now by gently pushing back) and all the stitching around the zipper has stretched and looks like it won't hold up. This fragility means you won't be able to fill them up as completely as higher quality ones. So I will try to return them and see if there is a better alternative. However, they have a really great feature that my old Riesenthel doesn't have, namely the see-through front zip! And then there's the clear panel on the side which is even better than the word card, you can just look and see "oh that's a sweater basket" and "that's a blanket basket". That's a brilliant idea. I hope there are stronger ones that have this feature!
