UPDATE: Dont buy these Used on , even if its labelled as Very Good. I feel like maybe I dont understand Used on as apparently a lot of the things Ive tried to get Used are DAMAGED. My latest (and third) order of these had three broken lids, one of them was majorly broken while the other two featured breakage on the plastic support bits. Unless you only want to pay for 5 bins (because the 6th will be basically unble) with two of them having damaged lids, avoid Used.
UPDATE 2: The replacement I ordered (that was supposed to be NEW) is also damaged, this time its the bins. I contacted about the lids earlier, and the company is pretty hands/off basically they dont sell replacement lids or just bins, so they recommend doing the return/and/replace method. Their customer service feels lacking. Most of the time for me, this wouldnt be a problem but I have been trying to pack for a big move and really needed these bins in particular for certain items. Now the UPCOMING replacement is getting here in 1 WEEK and thats not soon enough. Im removing a star, and if the next shipment is also damaged, another. This sucks, I dont understand whats happening. Maybe its just super bad luck but it couldnt have come at a worst time. Also the lukewarm customer support reply from has kind of turned me off. If the third order of bins is damaged in anyway, I am giving up and buying other bins instead. These used to be so good.
ORIGINAL REVIEW: These are really expensive but I really prefer them. Ive bought them twice, the first time YEARS ago. I store things like camera gear and equipment plus the typical basement storage stuff. I feel like they fit a really good amount of stuff, rarely did something I own not fit into it in some way (usually they were really long things like rulers. I havent personally had any problems with these but they dont get handled roughly. They are EXCELLENT for moving and are less curvy and not tapered like cheaper plastic bins you get at Walmart or Target or something / making them excellent for stacking. At about 5 bins, a stack does jiggle a little but I dont think it would fall over. 4 bins stacked are very sturdy. I really liked these so I had to buy more after a few years, but yes, the price is a little sweat/inducing. The negatives are small but I should mention them. I do think the foam seals are/can be a little wonky on a few of the bins, but I would hope they are easy to replace in the event that they deteriorate, become warped,or are damaged. To me they look pretty much like weather sealant strips you could get at the hardware store. The second minor gripe I have with these are that, while there are four latches on each bin going length/wise, the fact that there arent any on the short sides sometimes make those short sides seem not.sealed enough. If that makes sense. All the security and tight seal are emphasized on the long edge, which I understand and theoretically it makes total sense, but I just noticed that the sides without latches on them have a questionable seal. Only time will tell if this gets better or worse or is just not a big deal. Still seems to work fine.
Good, when theyre not damaged.
