Great for storing garden supplies, holiday decorations, seasonal clothes, and more, the Rubbermaid 24-gallon storage tote is equipped with a tough, lockable latch to keep out the dust. Weather resistant material stands up to the elements for years of reliable storage. An easy bungee tie-down keeps things in place. The unit is stackable for stable vertical storage of a few totes, one on top of the other, and nestable for compact storage of empty totes. Lightweight plastic makes the container easy to transport. The tote measures 17.4 by 19.3 by 26.5 (height by width by length). --Brian D. Olson

5.0 out of 5 stars Tough little boxes!, April 28, 2006

By	KB (America!) - See all my reviews

I have two of these boxes, both purchased from K-Mart several years apart, each one was 20 bucks. The first one I picked up in Tallahassee in 1993 to throw in the back of my pickup for extra storage. It is now 2006, some 13 years later, and that first box is still in great condition even after traveling thousands of miles all over the southeast in the back of four different pickups over the years. The only thing noticeable about the physical appearance of both boxes is the sun will quickly fade the red handles to a whitish-pink.

These are tough boxes, but for some reason hard to find in the store any more.

I most definitely recommend this box. I would be nice if it had wheels, though.
----------
Update, 13 July 2008: these boxes are $24.99 at Wal-Mart! Also, one of my boxes has developed a slight leak. If it is in my truckbed and it is raining I might find water inside the box (not always, but it happens). I don't know if it is because it is 15 years old....or because I was stupid enough to stand on it to change a lightbulb and bend it out of shape slightly with 200+ pounds of my weight.

----------
Update, 25 August 2007: I've noticed that both K-Mart and Wal-Mart are carrying these boxes again (you may have to check several stores, though). Or at least the stores in Alabama are now carrying them, that is.

5.0 out of 5 stars Iraq bound, November 30, 2005

By	Kevin M. Staples (Tikrit, Iraq) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I took this from FT. Bliss to Iraq and so far it has held up 10X better then those flimsy foot lockers that they sell at the exchange. definately worth every penny. Still locked, still in one piece, lid still closes. Looks great, and everything inside is in one piece. wouldn't trade it for the world. May even buy some more!
