25 Gallon

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!

I thought I had not received this item as I recently moved, and it did not show up at my house. I found out that my order was waiting for me at the post office. I was promptly issued a refund when I thought it was not delivered, but now I need to be charged for this again. The set of totes is great for a small household to use for a move.

My reason for buying these bins are that I have a mother cat with 3 babies in my yard. They are precious and with the weather changing I was very worried about them freezing. There were 5 babies and I did find a home for 2. I tried taking1 baby in and she cried so loud all night so I let her go back to mom and I needed something so they can have shelter for the winter. I just want to add that If you bought these to use for storage they are excellent, strong, durable, large and will last forever! For the people who want to help these poor cats who don't have a warm home to go to, this is really good! I'm no expert but this is what I did. I made 2 entrances by using a soldering gun to melt through the plastic. Took forever but well worth it. I have no tools so I couldn't cut the strong plastic. I bought clear plastic (clear shower curtains) and made flaps so the rain and wind cant get in. Attached them with Velcro. I Bought 2 heated pads for them to lay on and they love it. The mom and her 3 babies are always in there now. Its still cold inside though so I have bought pads that you use for reptiles, I checked out how warm they get and they are usable to add some more warmth into this container. I saw someone use them on another Amazon review and welcomed the idea!! These would be pads you place under a tank to keep the glass warm but they don't get too hot to use inside my shelter. They will actually stick to the sides. I will always be looking for ways to get this bin to be warmer but its better and warmer then nothing. The bin is waterproof and I used styrofoam squares to line the inside of the box. I got them from Chewy, they used them when sending out my frozen dog food. They came in very handy for me. I'm so glad I found these bins. They are large enough for all 4 cats/kittens and im grateful for peoples reviews which helped me and gave me such great ideas that I would have never thought of on my own.

these compare perfectly with roughnecks I purchased years ago, pre-amazon, I will attest to their durability, build and performance along with maintaining a good appearance on the shelf tight fitting as they have always have been and protect whatever you have packed inside, hard to find a product by a company that has been around this long and still delivers value and quality for your dollar

I’ve used these totes for 40 years, so obviously I think it’s a good product. I still own some from around 1990 before they changed the composition of the plastic to something less durable. Those bought later have decomposed and cracked due to exposure. Even so, it is still a pretty durable. The flex of the plastic makes it less susceptible to cracking, but that also means that you can’t stack them too high. The tops don’t come off accidentally, and the handles are done right. These are hard to find in any brick and mortar store, so Amazon is the only option for me. Ordinarily I avoid ordering large items on line in case I have to return them. When my box arrived there were 6 bottoms and 4 tops. One wonders how many packages went out that way. Typically, with most products a notice is included that should there be a problem, to contact the manufacturer instead of Amazon. I suppose that’s to an avoid a bad reputation with Amazon. Not in this case. Customer service took more than an hour to reach and seemed indifferent. They suggested I contact Amazon instead. So l did, and got a partial refund.

Nice size

14 gallon size fits perfectly on my shelving unit.

I always repurchase this brand when I need storage bins. They last forever. 18 gallon is the perfect size for me.

je vais pouvoir réorganiser mon atelier de couture. Très pratique. Plusieurs grandeurs.

Son de muy buena calidad, resistentes y buen tamaño

Expected a much more robust box. bad value for money

I have a lot of these Rubbermaid containers in several sizes. They are great at letting you organize whatever it is in your life that needs some organization, and they stack easily. I use these Rubbermaids in my basement, holding handyman pieces (electrical, plumbing, nails and screws, TV and telephone cables, etc) as well as in my office for computer and office supplies. I tape an envelope on the side to identify the contents, and have well over 50 of these things stacked up in three different sizes. Being able to buy them in a stack is great, as I can now have a few empty ready for use, instead of worrying about running to the local hardware store to pick them up. Recommended!

These are great totes, very reliable and durable. They’re flexible enough to not break in freezing temperatures. We’ve had some of ours for decades.
