I am satisfied with product but EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED they're discontinued! I need to finish a project and am so SAD I can't!!

I have been buying this size for years. I use it to store seasonal clothing. The older versions of this type of storage box are fantastic and still going strong. The lids of newer version can not handle another box if stacked on top. The lid will sink with the weight of the upper box and you will not have a nice seal.

I have used Sterilite storage boxes for 15+ years in my closets, garage, and vacation home. I'm disappointed that the quality over the years has taken a nose dive. I can never understand why manufacturers keep making their products cheaper and more disposable. Rather than having a storage box last a very long time, the new style is definitely a move in the wrong direction. The shape is more tapered with a smaller footprint at the bottom. The lids are incredibly weak and limits the stacking ability which is a main reason people buy these boxes. I'd love to know why Sterilite made a change for the worse. Wish they'd make a premium line. For people like myself that wants a quality item it's getting harder and harder to find. Ugh

These 56 Qt storage boxes are just the right size for me. Not too big and not too small. They are wonderful for storing winter clothing in my closet. I also use them to store my Christmas ornaments and lights. My yarn and completed yarn projects. They are not too heavy, and they stack so well. I have 4 of them in my SUV to hold my groceries and items, so they are contained, and I don't have to worry about items strewn all over the back of my SUV. They are sturdy and easy to use. I couldn't do without my Sterilite.

This family of simple lidded boxes is great because of what it does not have: latches. Almost every other plastic storage bin I have has two latches, either part of the lid or of the box, and they are prone to falling off and getting lost. The lids on this series snap on by flexing the lid, so there is nothing to fall off. They are also inexpensive, and stack neatly, so I've standardized on the 1600 series. As a beekeeper, I fit the 1659 with a rectangular wooden frame and use them to store 9 frames of comb.
