Make sure you check the dimensions. I didn't and was disappointed. I thought the largest one would be the size of a regular Bongo Bucket. That is my fault for not checking. I give this three stars because the smallest two are so little I have no idea what we will be able to put in there. I was hoping to use these for my son's stuffed animals.

These are great for the kid's rooms. They are much much smaller then I thought they were going to be. The green one can only hold like 3 days of clothes in my kid's room. The small red one could barely hold a basketball. Just so you know the size. They could definately have many uses. I'm looking foward to using these to take a trip to the beach.
They are made of nice strong material and have bright bold colors.
Seller shipped out very fast.
Thank You

These buckets are better and safer than a toy chest! The different sizes allow allow us to organize some if we choose or grab one to take on a trip. My daughter loves playing with them and it is easy for her to take her toys in and out. I haven't had to worry about safety with them either as they collapse easily.

These are one of my favorite purchases to contain my one year old son's toys. He loves emptying them out as well so they are toy in themselves. I have had friends comment on how they would love them for their older children as well. Good buy!!!Sturdy!!

These are great. They are lightweight and the fact that they are collapsible is good for us. My 9-month-old likes to crawl over and paw through the contents himself and with the collapsible sides, he can do so. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is that I'd like to be able to choose the colors. These sit in our living room and the bright rainbow isn't my favorite color scheme! It would be awesome to be able to buy them individually, or to at least have the option of buying them all in one color.

My grandson not only loves stacking different sized toys in the different sized foldable storage units, but he also likes to put the larger one over his head to hide from people and pops out to surprise everyone. He's learned if he's going for a ride in the car to grab the smaller one and put some of his favorite small toys in it and off they go and he has toys to entertain himself with in the car. When at home he picks up his toys and places them in the correct sized units. This is a brilliant idea for kids!

My toddler is far more persistent than her older sister ever was about finding ways to climb. Even though I'm on kid #2, I was really thrown for a loop when my toddler would dump her toys out of her toy basket and use the basket to try and climb over the baby gate.

These buckets solved the problem. I love that they just collapse! I also love that they make it easy to pick up the room because they're so lightweight; the girls and I can just take them around the room with us, picking things up as we go. The smallest bucket is pretty small, but we put Little People and other tiny toys in it.

One caveat is that the handles on a couple of them are big enough that my toddler, who had climbed into the bucket, got her head through the handle when she stood up out of the bucket. Had I not been right there, she could have been seriously hurt or worse. It was not a hazard I had foreseen. I cut the handles off of the two that had that problem, the pink and the green. For whatever reason, the handles on the blue bucket are not set in the same wide manner (you can even tell that in the product picture). The orange bucket's handles are too small for my toddler to get her head through but check for your own kids.

I also wish these came in nicer colors, preferably plain black. Otherwise these are great. They're even fun to play with because of how they pop open (we play a sort of ring toss game only with a ring that happens to pop up into a bucket before it lands on someone's head, haha; endless amusement). They also compress slightly when you kick the bottoms when they're empty and on their sides. It doesn't sound like much but this bored mama finds it entertaining before getting down to the nitty gritty of picking up all the toys that should actually be in the empty buckets.

This set would make an excellent baby shower or 1st birthday gift. Just bear in mind the problem with the handles and share that info with anyone you give these to.

These are great!! I do a LOT of crocheting (some for charity) and needed a simple and flexible way to organize my yarn. Although the bold and bright colors are better suited to a childs room, the sizes are working very well for me. Think of the sizes as small, medium, large, and extra-large. I bought a pop-up hamper last summer and it is about the same size as the large from this set, to give you an idea. The small is fairly small but you could easily fit a couple of cantaloupes in it. Or a small watermellon.

Also, these are easy to fold up. Simply press down and attach the velcro strap. None of that tricky origami folding stuff. They stack/nest nicely, too. Easy to use, reasonably sturdy and with nice carry handles.

I am very pleased with my purchase. I use the large one for my son's stuffed animals, the two middle-sized ones for baby toys and my daughter's toys, and the small one I have in the front closet to keep mittens, hats, and scarves from getting lost. I very well may buy another set.

These are not as big as we hoped. My wife purchased them for child and baby clothes "hampers" and toy storage, but these are much too small for clothes hampers.... The price wasn't too bad so we kept them. My 3 year old loves playing with them, so all is not lost. The size problem is our fault of course, since we didn't check dimensions.
