T. Coll –
Very sturdy plastic boxes with perfect fitting lids. The clips secure the boxes tightly (just right). The boxes are see through so I can easily identify what’s inside. I will certainly buy more of this brand.
M. Hiraoka –
Perfect size for me. Good quality plastic and excellent latches to secure the lid

I was working on sorting thru my stash of beads and jewelry making supplies. I needed a way to not just have a big bin with everything jumbled together. I also needed the containers to be sturdy enough that when I pulled them out of the cabinet, I don’t end up with beads everywhere. These worked perfectly. Small enough to hold a specific group of beads, sturdy and stackable. These are so good I’ve ordered them again.
TA Zimmerman –
I use these in my workshop for small parts storage. Excellent for keeping things organized.

I had some broken totes and Spreetail was very responsive. Prompts replies and offered options for return or refund.
the totes themselves are good, a bit fragile though.

What I really like about these sturdy boxes is how easy it is stack a lot of different sizes neatly. (See photo.) Because they stack so neatly, I am considering using them to help organize my garage as well.
Overall, I am happy with these. The sides don’t angle as sharply, and the edges aren’t overly-rounded; the more rectangular shape looks tidy and gives you a more internal space for the same on-shelf footprint. I also like the clips a lot. I have several boxes for which you flex the lid to snap it on, and these are much easier to take on and off a shelf one-handed without having lids pop off at awkward moments.
I have attached a photo to give you an idea how big these are relative to each other, and to demonstrate the wonderful flexibility these boxes are! Showing on the right from bottom to top, two each are: deep, large, medium and small. On the left are two of the medium topped by one small. As you can see, two medium & smalls fit perfectly on top of a large or deep. Two larges are exactly the same height as one deep, and two smalls are exactly the same height as one medium. Note, however, the mediums are not quite as tall as the deeps, and the smalls are not quite as tall as the larges. (I did not pick up a mini, but based on the dimensions I would guess two would fit side-by-side across the top of the medium/small lid, or four across the large/deep lid.)
The medium is about three inches shorter and about one inch taller than typical shoe-box sized boxes, for me this is fine, I like the modularity with the other boxes enough for this to be a good trade-off. In some cases, I actually prefer it.
The large, as others have mentioned, are just the right size for about a ream-sized stack of 8 ½” x 11” or A4 papers, with enough room to spare top & sides to easily access such a pile. The deeps could also hold papers, but I won’t be using it that way. (If I am going to stack enough papers to fit into that big of a box, it is not only heavy, but I am probably violating whatever organizational principles prompted me to buy it in the first place.) Neither are quite large enough for a file folder to fit – the protruding label of a folder gets in the way.
The deep… I didn’t realize it when I grabbed these, but this is exactly the right height for a CD! I can fit two rows of CDs with a few tucked in sideways. I got ~45 CDs in. There will be a bit of lost space, but it is really hard to find cost-effective storage. For the CDs, a couple of cubic inches isn’t such a big loss of space that I can’t handle it for the price, especially given clear top & sides and how much more sturdy this appears to be than some of the more expensive options. (And yes, I do still buy CDs, the reasons for which are outside the scope of this review.)
In terms of strength – I would suggest you keep it light to medium, the plastic is sturdy, but I’d hesitate to load them up with heavy items and then stack several up. I’d consider a more heavy-duty option for that.
Other reviewers list the actual dimensions, but at least one has an error, so for completeness I will list them again, as taken directly from the Sterilite website:
Deep: 14″ L x 11″ W x 6 1/4″ H // 35.6cm L x 27.9cm W x 15.9cm
Large: 14″ L x 11″ W x 3 1/4″ H // 35.6cm L x 27.9cm W x 8.3cm H
Medium: 11″ L x 6 5/8″ W x 5 3/8″ H // 27.9cm L x 16.8cm W x 13.7cm H
Small: 11″ L x 6 5/8″ W x 2 3/4″ H // 27.9cm L x 16.8cm W x 7.0cm H
Mini: 6 5/8″ L x 5″ W x 2 3/4″ H // 16.8cm L x 12.7cm W x 7 H

I’m an organized person but it can be so difficult to find the right products that create a sustainable organization routine and ecosystem. Over the years I’ve tried filing cabinets, rolling caddies, accordion folders, bins with hanging folders — you name it. There were problems with each ones: lack of portability; lack of water resistance; wobbly builds; pre-determined spaces that were too big or too small; lack of safe stackability.
Sound familiar? Then these might be exactly what you’ve been looking for.
Portable? Check.
Sturdy? Check.
Water resistant? Check.
Useful size? Check.
Different sizes available? Check.
Easy to see inside? Check.
Affordable? Check.

Even my husband loves these. He asked for two to organize his desk space, and he’s never asked for a tub or bin in his life. He agrees that they’re highly practical and very low-profile and easy to store.
We’ve now filled twelve of these with: tax papers; bills; keepsake artwork; receipts; instruction manuals and warranty information; vehicle maintenance records; insurance papers; etc., and I’ve got another twelve on order. I can’t recommend them enough!
Becky Jackson –
Bought to store medication in an organized manor. Works great. Thank you.
Andrew M Auvil –
Great for putting stuff in. Comes in a bunch of different sizes. Clips stay fastened pretty well. Plastic used seems to be of good quality and the boxes are brittle or easy to break.
TexasBookReader –
Great product. Locks seem to be heavy duty, size is great for organizing smaller items. Firmly stackable. Vendor offered fast delivery for free.
