Sterilite 30 Gal EZ Carry, Flat Gray (Available in Case of 4 or Single Unit)

These storage bins were just the right size for me to handle and stack in my garage and use from storing books to linens. They are durable and I like the bright green top to offset the gray bottom.

I brought one of these home from the local Walmart and filled it with my craft items. As these things tend to do, they quickly outgrew the box. It isn't the box's fault, it's actually quite roomy and you can fit a lot in it. It's just that thing about how you keep going back to the stores to buy more to stick in it that makes it inadequate... Back to the box. It's a great size because it fits a lot but isn't too big to haul around. When it's filled and heavy it can be a chore to carry it up or down a flight of stairs, but I did it and I'm 4'9". I'm going to get two packs of four delivered (why bother hauling them home?). I'll use one for linen storage, several for Christmas storage (I go all out) and several for fall storage (again, I go all out when I decorate.) I should have one or two left for miscellaneous basement stuff that is right now sitting in cardboard boxes and plastic bags and making a mess. I'll stick on some labeling tape and really organize the basement and keep all of my things safe. Two years ago our basement flooded and we lost all our decorations and lots of other stuff. This will prevent a repeat. If you're looking to compare these to the slightly less expensive boxes with the peel off lids, let me assure you, there is hardly any comparison at all. These lids, especially, are much more sturdy. There is little "peeling off" to do once you pop up the handles. The sides of the boxes seem more sturdy, too. You may get six of those for the price of four of these, but I've owned both and I'm buying four of these... well, eight.
