These boxes are great because they are so sturdy and I appreciate the straight sides of this design. I use them in my classroom and although I have other brands Sterilite products are my favorites.

Have multiples about 8 of these boxes. They stack well. I started out using a different one of your boxes for my metal dies and embossing units and elements but soon realized these worked even better and were smaller less heavy when full. However for my Extra long and larger embossing folders and metal dies I continued to utilize the flatter box with similar locking lids. In the end I switched most of the dies into standard three ring binders as I discovered I could find what I was looking for faster than the file style of these. NOW what to use these for? Oh my gosh the answer was soon realized. They slip easily and fit perfectly into my 22 year old Class B+ RV I bought in their upper cupboards and a few of the lower ones too. Wonderful couldn't ask for a more prefect fit and use. So even shopping for another one or two. I continue to keep two for currant projects in my paper craft area. And also they are wonderful to tote to a neighbors or get together this summer with like minded friends who also emboss and die cut for cards and now even T-shirts and what have you using the sublimation pens and paper you can also cut out and iron on designs with. So again these also carry rolls of 12 inch long vinyls of all kinds. I have vinyl for iron on, for sticking on and foil rolls for laser ink heat laminating on. Oh my gosh more rolls and these are long enough to take a big stack of those too. Yes yes yes to this design...did I mention they stack pretty well.

I have several of the old style Showoff storage containers. Love them. But recently I needrd a new one, and was disappointed to find the design has changed. They no longer stack neatly, and the new "curvy" design reduces the actual amount of space inside for storage. I give the older version a 5-star rating. This new one, not so much. They are o.k. if you just need one, or don't need to stack them, and don't mind wasted space inside.

I keep my dog supplies in one...nail trimmer, brushes, and hair clippers. In the other I have my Dremel with all the accessories. I love them, too bad you can't find them anymore.

These are a step backwards. Consumers need stacking not nesting. Nesting is only useful for you the manufacturer when they're empty to make shipping cheaper and for the seller to make displaying them easier. Consumers want containers that stack easily and securely. The older version does that quite well and are more versatile. And this new style doesn't stack will the old style. It's a form of planned obsolescence. Consumers cannot use the older style with newer style, so they are somewhat forced into purchasing a hole new array. Not to mention that this type of business strategy adds to waste. For shame.
