5.0 out of 5 stars There Great & Strong enough to Stand on
I am a Photographer and I now own 5 of these lockers, there made of heavy PVC and hold up to just about anything, I even find myself standing on it from time to time to reach something on the upper shelf. They lock into each other so there easy to store, one on top of another. I take one with me to a shoot, more then enough room for all my equipment and the wheels on one...

3.0 out of 5 stars Great product; why has price increased hugely?
I have used these for decades and loved them because they were so useful for the price. [...].

Because these were strong, inexpensive and lightweight, I have found them a godsend for for air travel. They are allowable size for transatlantic airline luggage (check with your airline, or course). I have checked two of these as my baggage allowance. I think...

This review is from: Contico 23-gallon Storage Locker (Misc.)
I have used these for decades and loved them because they were so useful for the price. [...].

Because these were strong, inexpensive and lightweight, I have found them a godsend for for air travel. They are allowable size for transatlantic airline luggage (check with your airline, or course). I have checked two of these as my baggage allowance. I think it is pointless to pay a lot for heavy luggage--you want the weight to be for the stuff you want to move, not the container. Customs will occasionally ask what's inside ("household items and toys") but have never looked inside. The latches can open in transport, so they need to be taped closed. If the contents are very heavy, it helps to tape the hand-grips on the ends. I usually tape around the whole thing for good measure.

These can crack if they get bumped hard, especially on the wheels or the corners. This has happened, but not a big problem as the shell is hard enough to keep all the stuff inside even when cracked--and they used to be inexpensive enough to buy a new one. I have used the same ones for several flights before they cracked. If they crack they are still good for storage.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not strong enough, June 4, 2008
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Contico 23-gallon Storage Locker (Misc.)
Just received this locker for summer camp trip. It will work, but barely. It is not strong enough. The lid is weak, you cannot sit on it. The breather holes will let bugs in. It does roll. The latches look ok. I'm afraid it will not hold up for camp.

5.0 out of 5 stars There Great & Strong enough to Stand on, June 4, 2010
This review is from: Contico 23-gallon Storage Locker (Misc.)
I am a Photographer and I now own 5 of these lockers, there made of heavy PVC and hold up to just about anything, I even find myself standing on it from time to time to reach something on the upper shelf. They lock into each other so there easy to store, one on top of another. I take one with me to a shoot, more then enough room for all my equipment and the wheels on one end makes it easy to haul around.. Just wish they would have put a handle on the other end.. So I bought one at Home Depot.
