3.0 out of 5 stars Average August 20, 2011

By E. Sullivan

Size Name:6-Quart

I have tons of these boxes (the 6 quart size) in my classroom because they're the most basic type of plastic storage box you can get and one of the cheapest. I typically check Amazon first before I buy almost anything and usually end up buying here, so I was surprised to see that these were $2 each. I've seen them for $1 or less at many other stores and most of mine I've bought at 0.89 to 0.95. Anyway, about the boxes themselves...they're durable enough for storage and keeping things organized but if you're looking for something that can hold up to moving, being bumped around, or heavier items, they're probably not the best choice. The lids are pretty secure and stay on as long as the box isn't overstuffed but I've had several lids and a few of the actual boxes crack on occasion. I've never bought bigger than the 6 quart size of this type for exactly that reason. If you're looking for bigger or sturdier ones, I'd suggest the latching boxes by Sterilite instead (all of mine have either green or purple latches but I've recently seen the same ones in other colors). I also have tons of those at home and school and they're super durable and great for kids especially, albeit a little more expensive than these.

If you're looking for a very basic storage box that's not going to get much rough and tumble use, these are definitely the most cost effective choice. Otherwise, I'd look elsewhere.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for shoes February 1, 2010

By Danielle

Size Name:6-Quart|Amazon Verified Purchase

I bought 48 of these containers. Of the 48 that I purchased 2 arrived broken which I didn't think was bad but based on other reviews I would assume this is common so price a few broken containers into your purchasing decision. Despite several arriving broken they are more than sturdy enough for shoes and I have them stacked 10 high and could have easily stacked them higher. They stack very easily and fit together well. I wear a size 8 1/2 and I love high heels and even my highest heels fit into the boxes although for heels over 5 inches you do have to angle the shoes opposite each other and lie them flat to fit them into the box. Overall I would recommend these containers and I plan to buy more when my shoe collection expands.

4.0 out of 5 stars Okay storage boxes. January 23, 2010

By autumnblue

Size Name:6-Quart|Amazon Verified Purchase

These storage boxes stack well. Good for organizing smaller items. Appreciate that they are see-through.

Downsides:
* The lids don't always snap on as easily as I would like.
* The product description says "perfect shoe size" but there is no way a pair of my shoes would fit in these unless they were flats or flip flops. To be fair, I have "Flintstone" feet (size 10 1/2 - 11).

And, yes, Flinstone feet can be feminine and pretty - 'cause I said so.

1.0 out of 5 stars Lids don't snap on March 11, 2011

By AJ

This is a horrible product. I liked the box size, but the lids do NOT snap on properly. IT IS ANNOYING. Some lids will not stay on at all!

DO NOT BUY!!

By JerseyGirl1922

Size Name:6-Quart|Amazon Verified Purchase

These are not the first set of boxes I have purchased to store my shoes but they are, by FAR, the clearest boxes I've ever had. You can see the contents without having to open the box and that is a big deal for me. If I had money to burn I would throw away my other boxes and buy more of these.

2.0 out of 5 stars Posted size is deceptive May 11, 2012

By Steven Parks

Size Name:6-Quart|Amazon Verified Purchase

I use plastic containers for various projects and for containing tools and parts. I have a large number of containers which are 11 1/2 X 6 X 4 1/2 inside and was looking for something larger these are only very slightly larger then the ones I have yet they state they are 13-1/2-by-8-1/4-by-4-3/4 - these measurements definitely don't represent the capacity of the boxes.

3.0 out of 5 stars Larger than the Average Shoe Box April 16, 2012

By Jill

Size Name:6-Quart|Amazon Verified Purchase

These boxes are nicely priced and certainly get the job done. Here's the cons - they are larger than other shoe boxes that I have bought, and my 9 1/2 heels flounder around in there and take up more room on my shelves. However, they are not big enough for my husband's 11's.

3.0 out of 5 stars Don't fit big shoes December 27, 2010

By Katie Pie

Size Name:6-Quart|Amazon Verified Purchase

I purchased these bins to fit men's shoes and got them home and they are too small. Ended up purchasing bins from Costco that were bigger. These would probably fit women's shoes, but too small for men's shoes.
