IRIS USA WeatherPro 31 Qt Storage Bins with Lids, 6 Pack, BPA-Free Plastic Gasket Box with Tight Latch and Seal, Stackable Nestable Tote Tub - Clear/Black

I bought several sets of these a few months ago to pack up my library because we are building a house and moving. I wanted to make sure I had them for when I was ready to start packing. I have a bunch of broken totes and I’m pissed. Unfortunately, I waited too long to open the boxes since I wasn’t ready to pack yet and now I can’t return them. I have a huge in home library and will need many dozen more of these types of boxes but I won’t be buying this brand again. This isn’t the first time this happened but I was able to return them before because I bought them the last time we moved. Those worked great but this batch seems to be made a lot cheaper and are real flimsy. Even the seal in the lids of this batch are really loose. I’m not sure my books will make it in storage with this bunch. I have tens of thousands of books to pack up and now I need to find another company that hopefully makes a better product. When I first found these in 2020, they were really sturdy and worked great to protect my books for a cross country move. In 2025, as cheap as they are made, I’ll be lucky to make it from the house to the moving truck without them falling apart. I’m really disappointed that the quality has gotten so poor.

I was a bit hesitant to order these because of some of the other reviews stating some of the set arrived with their handles broken off, but after I saw they were on sale I took the chance and ordered anyway. I was pleasantly surprised when they did arrive. They arrived packed in an Amazon box and upon opening that box, I found they were even packed in their own box inside of the Amazon box. So, they were well protected. They also work perfectly for my needs. I use them to store open rolls of filament for 3D printing. Not only can I fit 10 standard rolls neatly in the bottom, but there's still room for desiccant packs and a thermometer/hygrometer plus room for a couple more rolls on top. Much more roomy than the previous storage containers I was using. I realize that moisture can still get in if you're opening these frequently, but they are perfect for long term storage as the foam seal helps keep moist air from seeping in unnecessarily.

If you want to protect your stuff, then these are the containers to purchase! We purchased this product to use to house our snakes. Previous containers that we had purchased allowed the snakes to push up against the top and slide out. They have six latches, which keeps the lid in place and our snakes safe.The watertight seal also helps keep the snakes in their home The containers are roomy for our snakes. We drilled holes into the plastic sides, which only produced minor cracks in some areas. I expected this since the product isn't really designed for what we are using it for. The containers product ample room for the reptiles, bedding, hiding places, and water bowls. We also have heating pads attached to the containers, and the plastic holds up well to the heating pad. Great product, and we will most likely purchase this product again in the future.

These boxes fit perfectly on my 18” deep HDX storage shelving unit from Home Depot that I was looking for storage boxes better than the HDX storage boxes that you would think would work well together. These Iris brand boxes have almost 90 degree corners and smooth sides to maximize interior space (vs. HDX boxes that are black and yellow have corrugated sides and narrow in size from top and bottom). I’d say the dimensions shown on Amazon for the Iris boxes were completely accurate. I wanted them to store anything that I’d like to keep airtight and bug-free. I live in a humid climate and tend to have ants no matter what. I put in things like unopened sugar, flour, dry cat food, boxes of mac and cheese, pasta, rice a roni - things that have loose ingredients in paper or cardboard packaging. I like that these boxes are see-through enough to view the contents to know which box to grab my stuff. I gave it a 4 out of 5 because of the 6 sets of boxes and lids I ordered, two sets were unusable (2 boxes had a broken handle, 2 lids had cracked pieces broken off - so 30% of the ordered arrived broken - cracks and holes in the product defeats the purpose of being airtight so we’ll use them as open bins in our tool shed). I had read reviews of this before buying and think this is because of they way they are packed before shipping - no padding to protect them during transit. Otherwise I think the boxes and lids that are still usable will serve my purpose well. I have purchased Iris brands before - jumbo cat litter boxes, and airtight pet food storage bins - I am generally always satisfied with product design and still have in use all of the Iris products I have bought in the past. This is the first time I have gotten anything with a defect upon arrival.

I love these boxes. We have limited storage in our condo, so we use our covered balcony to store some items. These perfectly sealed, air tight boxes come in handy. We store our winter jackets and some bags inside. Add a few moisture wicking gels, a mothball or two and they are the perfect storage companion.
