Rubbermaid Roughneck Tote 18 Gal, 6 Pack, Made in USA, Dark Indigo Metallic, Rugged Plastic Stackable Storage Bins with Lids and Handles

Have had these through 3 moves and love how they stack when not in use. Do yourself a favor and buy a set because they are much better than cardboard boxes. Perfect for storage of items too. They may be less sturdy than bins that cost twice as much, but you don’t necessarily need anything better than these bins.

Highly durable, light weight, nice looking, easy stacking .... well worth the little added cost.

I bought these because we were moving and I didn't want to do the cardboard shuffle again. We already had a bunch of boxes still in the garage from our last move over a decade ago we never unpacked. Some in cardboard and some in Rubbermaid tubs. If you're clean as can be, raccoons, opossums, mice, etc all will try at one time or another to find a warm shelter in your building(s). If not for food, just for warmth. Cardboard and papers make excellent bedding and Rubbermaid does not! For us, sadly there was a leaky roof and some of our items were damaged. The cardboard encased items were of course FUBAR. The Rubbermaid held up better. Most of the items were protected though some water did get in and in some cases there was mold.Seeing how the Rubbermaid held up much better we decided to buy more. Local stores don't sell them much or they're wildly over priced. These were very reasonable and arrived undamaged. We were able to move A LOT of things using these boxes and just our 1994 Nissan Pathfinder from a 1400 sq ft house. No bubble wrap: towels and the junk mail newspapers every week helped us. Each tub safely held all of our things on each trip. It was easy to reuse each tote and then afterwards we used them to put our final garage items up. Each one stacks well into the other and as long as you're not stacking obscenely heavy totes on top of lighter totes they do just fine. They will hold a lot - one of ours is full of books while another is full of DVDs. Just be sure whoever has to carry them knows what they're going to pick up or "surprise". As a fun side note they make excellent toddler distraction pools just add adult supervision, a water hose, sprayer, some ziptie sponge water balls and go!These totes as noted are not fool proof. These tubs hold up but collapse under an adult so don't try to be smarttelligent and use one as an alternative to a kitchen ladder. They will let in water and if super windy fine dust. Be sure if you have valued items you use something like a vacuum sealed bag, gasket lined tubs, etc. The vacuum sealed bags are a great way to maximize space in these if you're storing pillows, blankets or other linens. For photos I recommend scanning to Google Photos first which is unlimited and free (Android and iOS) as of this post. Dropping one with breakables you still risk shattering something. We mark ours up with sharpies and secure both the shelves and tubs with sturdy cordage. Older totes we've had held up well but I've noticed that the plastic these are made of (as with all plastics) is not great out in the direct sun. If these are left out exposed to the elements constantly over the years they will start to get brittle. Used in your garage, they don't seem to. In the end, collect memories not things!Good luck with yours!

Was twice as big as I thought they would be. But being a pack rat I will have lots of space for my junk. Also they will fit nicely in my closet floor will be heavy when filled with heavy items. ie books and difficult to move when full. So pack with care and consideration of heavy items

They seem very sturdy. But if you have a cat, make sure you snip off all the hanging strings of melted plastic—if your cat eats them, that’s a linear foreign body, and that can easily kill your cat. (Dogs have less of a problem with this, but it still wouldn’t be a bad idea to cut them off for dogs!!)

How many cheap tubs have you bought that failed? Cracked, lids don't fit, to flexible etc. Buy the Rubbermaid products and you will be happy. Strong and reliable, will not buy cheap stuff again!

Can't beat Rubbermaid storage bins like these. They're rugged and great for storing smaller tools and they hold up well. Highly recommend.

These are great! Very affordable. Functions well. Great for storing and keeping the elements out. They are a little difficult to use, it takes a lot of effort to pull the handles open. The handles are firm, they are medium weight.
