I’ve used these for so many things at this point. Very sturdy and heavy duty. Worth the money, stacks well and compact when not in use. Easy to see that’s inside.

When I ordered these (and some other similar bins), I thought the see-through ones were as clear as they come. Later, I discovered that IRIS makes a clear blue version of some bins, which ends up being much more see-through, even though it’s blue. And I think the blue looks pretty cool. In hindsight I should have searched more and tried to find the clear blue versions of these, although I don’t know it they make them. The clear blue ones were a different size.So you might not be able to find the clear ones in the size/quantity that you want, or they might be more expensive. In that case, the translucent ones are actually fine. You can still see what is inside. I believe the official name of the translucent ones is Pearl.Make sure you buy ones that have a clear lid. Some bins have a solid white lid, for example, so you can’t see down into them, which is a bummer. These do have the clear lid, which is great.I like that there are latches. I like that a lot better than the kind where the lid just snaps on, because the latches are easier to deal with, and they stay closed better. The latches on these are good.However, the style of the latches is not perfect, in my opinion I have some bins I got a long time ago which have the moving latch piece attached to the lid. These IRIS ones have the latch attached to the bin, which I don’t think works as well. I couldn’t find any (from any company) with the latches attached to the lid, so I got these. And they are fine. You just flip the latch with your thumb instead of your fingers. It’s a minor point.One batch I got was defective, and the latches would fall off, so I exchanged that batch. I only saw that problem on one batch, and I bought a lot of these. I assume it was just a fluke.The price of these IRIS bins was similar to the alternatives, but I was surprised at how much bins cost. All the bins I got (multiple types from multiple companies) seemed expensive to me. I spent about $400 on bins when I reorganized my basement, which seems crazy! But the bins last forever, and they are vastly better than boxes, so I guess it’s fine.I would recommend spending more for high quality thick ones with latches like these, because I think in the long run it really pays off. I expect to still be using these same bins in 20 years, so it would be unwise to deal with low quality bins for 20 years, just to save a few bucks. It’s better to invest in good ones like these.Buy plenty because you’ll keep finding things to put in them. Even if you don’t fill them all right away, later you’ll eventually want more, and it’s nice to have them all match.

Great product, great price (I bought a pack of 6) durable plastic! When you want to give a gift without framing an art form you are unsure will be hung in someone’s home or in a hospital room, this item was a perfect size for displaying colorful art forms with a message that I created as gifts to encourage and inspire those individuals battling serious forms of illness to never give up.

I’m so glad I purchased this storage bin for my child’s coloring activities! It’s a great way to keep the crayons, colored pencils, and markers organized on top. I put most of her small coloring books and papers in the bottom of her bin. It’s great quality and latches well.

Good quality storage bins when you need to store small items. Great for the craft room. Nice color handles too.

managed to get most of my craft supplies in these containers. The fact that they stack is very helpful

I like these very handy

Love these stackable and the lid is secure but easy to use. My 3 year old grandson can open and close them and carry his little toys wherever. Then we stack them and put them back!

Great for dog treats, and other items around the house. Latches on both ends is nice as well.
