Sterilite Large 20 Qt Storage Container Tote with Latching Lids, (12 Pack)

Seems like a sturdy bin but be cautious when you order for shipping or delivery, one of the six I ordered had a crack down the whole side and is completely unusable. To get a refund you have to return it to the store or call the 800 number who will likely tell you to return it. It isn’t worth the time and trouble to return it in person or find a container to mail it. All I asked was just issue a $7 credit and they won’t do it unless they have the item.

I bought this box to store big packages of food supplies like flour, sugar and oats, because it is labeled as BPA-free and Phtalates-free as well as moisture, dirt and pest safe - so no chance for roaches or other bugs. The walls and lid of the box are quite thick and stable. The lid has a rubber sealing leaving no gaps when it is closed - so yes, it is pest-safe and probably even fully waterproof. BUT even though the website says BPA-free and Phtalates-free this box stinks extremely terrible, literally breathtaking in the worst way... - you can't ignore it. It must be leaking big amounts of chemical components probably like aromatic hydrocarbons or whatever. So we put it one sunny afternoon outside in the backyard hoping to get rid of the smell. First the smell seemed to be gone and we put the food packages inside for a couple of days. But when I opened it again, the smell was back again too. Now I worry our food which was packed only in paper packages maybe got polluted by this. So the box is back under the sun, me still hoping to make it useable. Conclusion: Beware what you want to store inside this. Food packed in paper or clothes you want to wear without washing again - NO. Tools or other stuff like that - YES, go for it.
