Sterilite20 Qt Gasket Box, Stackable Storage Bin with Latching Lid and Tight Seal, Plastic Container to Organize Basement, Clear Base and Lid, 6-Pack

...because they're absolutely fantastic storage boxes for 3D printer filament. The gasket helps keep things sealed, which is essential to storing filament and makes desiccant packs work better. The two latches are sturdy and so far haven't gotten weaker in their hold from regular use, and the size is absolutely perfect to hold reels of filament. The width is just the right width for filament reels and they're long enough I can store an assortment of reels stacked on edge. There's extra space above the reels, which come in handy when I need to quickly stash a sample, remnants, or whatever else. They're clear, so I can actually see what filament is in the box without having to open every single one.I first bought these at Walmart last fall and wanted to buy more to hold more filament and other craft supplies. I was really bummed to see that I couldn't find them anywhere except Amazon and at a much (much, much) higher price than when I originally bought them in-store. However, these are so fantastic, it was worth it.I knocked a couple stars off on the durability rating because these are clear containers and they are in general more prone to shattering and splitting than similar containers made from opaque materials. I have opaque storage tubs from 15 years ago that have been kicked around with only some scratches as a result, but even fairly new clear storage tubs rarely survive long-term. They tend to fail (shattering, splitting) when used in spaces that have no climate control, are larger in size, packed with a lot of heavy items, or the weight of the contents isn't evenly distributed. The smaller clear containers, like this 20 qt gasket box I bought are more likely to last long-term since I am using them inside and only for storing filament reels.I was lucky that all of the containers arrived intact. I was worried about that, given the other reviews, but I think that just comes down to luck of the shipment.[Edited 02/24/2021: I added photos of my boxes of filament and the inside of one of these boxes, as well as a photo of my messy craft shelf where I've started organizing stuff into these boxes.]

I love these totes. I use them throughout the house. They are sturdy and versatile and I love the gasketed seals which help to ensure nothing is getting in these tubs that I don't put in there myself. Perfect size and not too heavy once filled. Stackable as well.

I love the “seal” on these 20 Qt. gasket containers. The quality is excellent. I only needed 2 but couldn’t find them in a smaller quantity. But GUESS WHAT? I quickly had a need for all of them, LOL. I use one in my carpeted bathroom to hold liquid items that I fear would tip over and damage my carpet. It sets on the carpet under a ledge. The snap closures on the ends are solid and I don’t worry it could open by being bumped.I also realized they make excellent storage for all my many, many art supplies. Great for moist items like watercolors, liquid mediums, and preserving all my expensive Copic markers. I have several of these containers on what used to be my bookcase, but it’s now my art supply depot 😉. The plastic is very clear and I can see what I need before opening them. They also accept labels from my Dymo label maker well. They look attractive with that bit of aqua coloring at the top.And, lastly, I have all my office supplies in the last one. I have felt tip permanent markers as well as all my label making items, my Exacto knives, pens, pencils, box cutters, engraving pen, wood burning device, etc. I have discovered the joy of being organized and having attractive, crystal clear, quality containers making my life easier. A place for everything and everything in its place.

I love all these sterilite bins that have the gasket. I'm starting to pack all my things in them now... especially if they are going in the garage or attic. I also use them for 3d filament dry boxes. The only problem I've had with them is that they do sometimes get broke in shipping. I haven't had any break from my use, so as long as you don't abuse them they hold up pretty well.Normally I don't take the time to write a review, but I do genuinely love these bins. I hate the idea of bugs, moisture/mold, and who knows what getting into my stuff and so far these have done a great job. I did have some arrive broken, which isn't surprising considering how some delivery people treat packages, but the seller had outstanding customer service. I sent them a message and picture of the damage and they replied the very next day sending replacements. They responded quick, sent replacements fast, and even sent a follow-up to make sure the replacements arrived in good condition. Between the product and seller's customer support you can't go wrong.

These are a great size for the space we needed to put them in. Plus, they have a seal around the lid to prevent bugs/moisture from getting in. We really like these containers and we have a bunch of them. We just wish they were a little thicker and more sturdy. They hold up well and haven't broken, but I'm afraid an accident of dropping them on the floor may destroy them (so we try and be careful). Overall, really nice product!

Functions perfectly, I use in my ceramics studio to keep clay from drying out.

I ordered these small sized boxes because I had a small place to put them. They are precisely the size they were meant to be! I am very satisfied.

Nice seal. Works great with desiccant to keep your 3d filament dry. You can get four 1 Kg spools in a container.

Muy buenas cajas totalmente recomendables, son resistentes y tienen en la tapa una pequeña cubierta que les ayuda a sellar herméticamente.La usé para guardar juguetes y por fin se ve más ordenado el cuarto 💛Me encantaron y de seguro vuelvo a comprar mas.

I am VERY happy with these boxes! They arrived in perfect condition and are exactly what I wanted. Made in the USA, they are of much higher quality than Sterilite used to produce. Aesthetically pleasing, they are large enough to hold a worthwhile amount, yet small enough to be easily carried when full. They latch securely, stack easily and look very nice in a studio or work-room. One last feature that may seem small, but which pleases me very much: Each box arrived with two stickers on it, and all 12 stickers peeled off easily leaving not a trace of "goo"! Bonus!

I love these! I use them mostly to store hand me downs from Kid1 to Kid2. Too bad they’re so expensive (everywhere, not just here), I should have stocked up a few years ago when they were just regular expensive.

ok

Very pleased with this purchase. Not pleased with Canada Post’s delivery of same. - In fact I was very upset!These containers are quality and nice looking with their coloured rims and closure handles. For me these were a perfect size for stacking small items and the lids keep dust away. Happy, happy!
