IRIS USA WeatherPro 31 Qt Storage Bins with Lids, 6 Pack, BPA-Free Plastic Gasket Box with Tight Latch and Seal, Stackable Nestable Tote Tub - Black/Red

These are great storage containers for my herbs and garden seeds. I’m super thankful for the availability of this product, and the bargain price! Amazon resale made it even more worthwhile. The broken corner on the one box is easy enough for me to repair, and I can live with one missing handle 😜 it is still every bit worth what I paid. Thank you very much 🙏🌈✨💖

Online accolades and complaints can be very helpful, but you have to take them with a grain of salt. Complaints are usually the most valuable, although you still have to be discerning about context, use, and user competence. When things break or are not as advertised, frustration often drives people to share their negative experiences. However, these complaints depend heavily on the user—did they read the instructions, is the broken part due to poor manufacturing or user impatience, are they operating the product correctly, or expecting the correct result? While these factors can muddy the reality of a complaint, the larger volume of complaints compared to accolades allows you to look for patterns, which are often most helpful.Accolades, on the other hand, should be viewed with more skepticism. While similar concerns about users and their environments apply, the most prominent issue is the psychology behind positive reviews. When something performs as expected, does it truly deserve praise? Or is it sufficient that it simply avoids complaints? This is akin to the question: should a reward be given for meeting expectations or for exceeding them? In my view, it's for exceeding expectations. Thus, most people don't rush to share positive experiences when things go as expected.Living on the Texas Gulf Coast, I've faced wide temperature swings, intense summer heat, brutal sun exposure that deteriorates everything outside over time, and the occasional hurricane and rough coastal weather. I've seen money wasted on bins that cannot hold up. Over the years, I've tried bins from at least half a dozen major brands, all of which have failed in some way in this climate. From bins of household goods in storage that collapse over time due to heat, to bins that crack or break with minimal impact, or hinges and locks that fail eventually, I've learned to invest in better quality to avoid throwing money away.Years ago, I started using IRIS black weatherpro bins in my pickup for storage. Today, all the same bins are in perfect condition—the latches still work. Despite being in the hot Texas sun under my bed camper shell, they've never buckled, cracked, or become unreliable.When we began packing up our house for a move, sorting through years of belongings after raising three children, I turned to IRIS again and found their clear "interior" weatherpro line. I've purchased over a thousand dollars worth of these clear bins.The only issues I've had were a shipment with one broken latch and another with one missing latch. Today, I called IRIS directly to avoid returning a large order to Amazon for a single missing latch. Without question, the operator took my address to send me a dozen latches. I then remembered the broken latch from a few orders ago on the black "exterior" weatherpro bins, which have red latches, and asked if she could send me two of each type instead of twelve.Just like that, a quality product backed by a quality company solved a couple of minor problems in mere minutes. That is why I decided to write this review. Over the years, IRIS bins have held up like no other brand, and my experience today, which is rare given the state of household goods sold online, demonstrated both product and service quality that exceeds my expectations. I think that deserves some accolades.

Product served its purpose since I was in a pinch to get some things into storage. The handles on 2 of the totes have popped off. They go right back on but I wouldn't trust to put super heavy items in them. And I am assuming over time, the handles will not go back on. Again, I would get them again. Would be great for storing toys, crafting things, Christmas decor or wrapping supplies etc.

I bought these because I have limited storage space in my apartment. One will be for plastic storage bowls and lids. They gave a strong smell, but I aired them out and the smell went away. Easy use clips to secure the top on. I have weak hands, but I was able the use the clips with no problem. These would be good for camping supplies or for seasonal clothing storage, too.

Objective: My wife and I are in the process of completely revamping our one-car garage area and our over-the-garage storage area. The objective for the garage was to make our small space more efficient (and effective) so that we could have room for an Electric Vehicle (EV) and its charging station. Currently my tools and work benches will not allow that to happen because the space is not used efficiently and one work bench protrudes about 20% across the floor of the garage. Our goal was to strip the area down to the bare walls and build 18" deep shelves on one side of the garage and 10" deep shelves on the other, and to use these new storage container bins (that we purchased from IRIS USA) to organize and store all of the tools, screws, trinkets, strings (and ceiling wax and other fancy stuff) in containers that were labeled. For the over-the-garage storage area we wanted to do something similar.Configuration: My estimate was that we would need 18 storage bins with the capacity of 32 quart for the garage on the 18" side, and 8 smaller storage bins for the 10" side. For the over-the-garage storage area, we estimated that we would need 9, 53 quart storage bins. Overall, that would be quite an investment in storage container bins at the current purchase price.Initial Purchase: We bought a set of 4, 53 quart storage bins, and a set of 4, 32 quart storage bins to test the depth of our projected shelving, and the volume of the storage bins to see if they were compatible with our objective.Great Features (The things that we liked): The major feature that drove us to try these bins was the fact that they were transparent and allowed us to see the insides (to remind us what was in them). Also, we liked the locking lids and the fact that they kept out dust and critters. Finally, they had the capacity to store the thing that we needed and to segregate like items in their respective containers.Disappointments: When we received the boxes, the lids of the storage bins were broken. (See the attached pictures.) This is a direct result of the lids (and the containers themselves) being too brittle to stand up to the shipping process. (My guess is that the workers at UPS and/or FedEx throw the packages so hard that some of the contents don't survive.). That would lead me to conclude that the containers with the lids are not able to stand up to the abuse that most of us DIY'ers would subject them to. We were pleased with the volume and dimensions of the storage bins, but the structural integrity is not what we want in our storage bins.Summary: The marketing information of these storage bins boast of longevity and usefulness, but the reality is that they do not, and in my estimations will not, stand up to the pressure of every-day storage and access without breaking very quickly.

Una de las cajas venía en mal estado.

No protruding handles and very close to 90 deg sides so maximum content and they seal well. Handles can and do pop off if stacking heavy but they seem to be designed for that as they clamp back on easily.

Las cajas son buenas, precio alto, pero el problema real es que las tapas (4 de 6) llegaron con pestañas rotas.

Does the job. Clips are flimsy however. They can break easily if not careful, but ok overall

Buena presentacion, resistente, practico.
