compartments are far too small to hold our family's recycle items. A gallon milk container would take up most of 1 of the bins!

The bins were very small and could not be used for the intended purpose, weekly recycling, unless you don't recycle much. My daughter ended up using it for dogfood storage and other mudroom accessories.

I bought two of these for use in a couple of library buildings to hold plastic grocery bags for people to take and carry their items in. I was very impressed with the ingenuity that went into these storage towers. They assemble VERY easily, they are sturdy, and they hold quite a bit of stuff in a very small footprint. I think these would be useful for all sorts of things - toys, pantry items, garage storage, etc. The only bad thing I can think to say is that one of the two units I ordered was missing the foot pedal. One call to Richell and they had one shipped out to me. Highly recommended!

I love this product! I was worried I was spending $ on a product that cost energy to make & would not be useful long-term, but I was wrong! This tower fits in a narrow space near my kitchen & I use it to recycle mixed paper in the top drawer, newspaper & cardboard in the second drawer & bottles, cans & plastic in the bottom. The drawers are an efficient size, I use brown grocery bags as liners, I trim about 4" off the top & they fit great inside. The drawers are easily removable, when they are full you can remove the entire drawer or just the liner to take everything out. Initially I thought the drawers seemed small but because they are an efficient size, it is surprising how much they hold. I have actually canceled my garbage service, because I can recycle or compost most everything & garbage can easily be hauled off in a small bag once a week or so. Great product! Give it a try!

This item sure beats the heck out of storing huge blue bins in front of my door. Now I keep the bins outside my door and they just blend into the wall. When recycling day comes, we just dump the items into the appropriate blue bins and set them out.

I do wish that the bins were a little larger, but I knew there size when I purchased them.

The item was very easy to put together.

Considering buying another one for my daughter's room for storing some of her toys. I can also see where it might be useful for the kitchen (plastic bag storage, pet food storage, Storing Tators & Onions etc).

This is a very simple, yet ingenious way to sort your trash if you live in small apartment. Even after only one week of use, it has made my life easier in a small but meaningful way.

Please note that the bins take medium 10 gallon bags, not tall kitchen bags. If you have a large household these bins will fill up pretty quickly. Otherwise, it's best for a 1- to 2-person household.

This is an excellent recycling organizer because it is not too big yet holds lots! It is attractive to look at and compliments most interiors.

Good in theory. The tall stacking does save space. The off white plastic is more acceptable than many of this type of item I have seen. The first set of Bins arrived with the side panel broken. The box did not appear to be damaged in shipment. After some mis-communication on part of Stacks and Stacks, we finally received the second set of Bins, only to find once again the plastic had a long crack in it. We were able to glue it together and will live with it, but at the cost of $75 (with shipping) I would say, don't waste your money.

What a great product! I like the fact it is a vertical storage unit. The baskets are easy to remove and somewhat easy to reinsert.

The construction is a little flimsy from what I would expect for the money but it stands up pretty sturdy and once it is in place it's relatively secure.

Not sure what others are talking about with the space issues. We have no problems, it stores more than we can fit in our outdoor Blue-Bin. Maybe you should crush the plastics first? Milk jugs don't take up much room if properly taken care of.

For the money I'd expect it to be stronger, but it's just about perfect for its' intended use.
