Sterilite 18 Gallon Tote Plastic, Blue Morpho

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got these tubs to throw my daughter's clothes into when she has outgrown them to save for baby #2. I love that they are so easily stackable + they're a cute color so I don't mind seeing them in her closet until they are full!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This year we went with red and green totes for holiday decor. Color coding helps to quickly identify my winter bins from the fall bins. They are easy to stack vertically to allow more storage space. Great storage solution for sure.

One of my favorite storage bins. I have bought about 10 of them and they are a great product. It has been nine months so far, but the lids do not last very long. They started to crack and fall apart at six months. I have two of them that are no longer usable because the lids do not work on them anymore. Do you know where I can purchase a replacement lid for this product? I have looked and I cannot find a place to purchase them without buying the whole thing. Selling the replacement lids through a third party could be a good source of income for your company.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This tote is a great size for organizing and storing holiday decorations. The colors are easily recognizable for when storing in the attic or garage and makes it easy to color coordinate.

I have two totes with no lids. Because your lids broke down and cannot be used. I don't see why I should recycle two good totes and go buy two more with lids. Most of the time they don't get recycled and wind up in landfill. I read another customer who had the same problem. Read your reply. As far as a business is since it makes sense to you do not sell replacement lids. But to your customers, we need replacement lids.

They are made st cheap not to be used when stacking also the price on them has started to go up ,it would be better to get a stronger more durable one for the same price

I have about 20 of the 20 gallon bins from the late 90s to early 2000s. They are solid as a rock. Stored five high in the garage and not a dent or wrinkle in any of them. No cracks. Perfect to this day. They store mostly Christmas stuff, but some have miscellaneous things I want to keep. I needed a new one for some additional holiday things this year and went to buy my favorite brand--Sterilite. Never thought of other brands, as I don't like the soft plastic that breaks down and won't hold its shape. To my surprise, now Sterilite has become like the others. Flimsy, soft, not worth using except for light items that won't need much protection. So very disappointed. Now, I don't know what to buy, but I will keep looking. I was a strong advocate for Sterilite storage containers because they were quality. I'd rather pay a little more, not have the size shrunk, and definitely not have the soft plastic junk that seems to the new norm. Sad that companies don't understand that quality over time matters.

These 18 gallon totes feel very shy of their predecessors. I have used sterilite 18 gallon totes for years. I have over 110 of them. My local retailers started carrying only this style. I had been using the (1830) design. So I figured why not try the new design. These now do not stack with my old totes. (Guess that's my OCD problem). So I got over that. But stacking them soon revealed their flaws. Much weaker. I used to stack old style 5 high. With these, Same weight only three high. Don't waste your money.

This tote has too wide of a top - it cannot hold up to any weight at all and the lid does not fit once it gets benteven a little bit. We have had totes made by sterlite for 15 years that are still in better condition than the ones i bought last month. Best Sterlite Tote ever made was Tote #1830. PLEASE make these again. Palstic is more durable and the design is the best.

I too have totes, that have a sunlight disassembly of their lids.
