IRIS USA 19 Quart Weathertight Storage Box, Clear

I bought this to be my dedicated storage container for PLA filament and it works great! Good seal. Latches are strong. Just threw a bunch of dessicant packets in there and it's dry and secure.

Very pleased with these & delivered with care. Very sturdy.

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.

UPDATE: Don't buy these Used on Amazon, even if it's labelled as "Very Good". I feel like maybe I don't understand "Used" on Amazon as apparently a lot of the things I've tried to get Used are DAMAGED. My latest (and third) order of these had three broken lids, one of them was majorly broken while the other two featured breakage on the plastic support bits. Unless you only want to pay for 5 bins (because the 6th will be basically unusable) with two of them having damaged lids, avoid Used.UPDATE 2: The replacement I ordered (that was supposed to be NEW) is also damaged, this time it's the bins. I contacted IRIS USA about the lids earlier, and the company is pretty hands-off—basically they don't sell replacement lids or just bins, so they recommend doing the return-and-replace method. Their customer service feels lacking. Most of the time for me, this wouldn't be a problem—but I have been trying to pack for a big move and really needed these bins in particular for certain items. Now the UPCOMING replacement is getting here in 1 WEEK and that's not soon enough. I'm removing a star, and if the next shipment is also damaged, another. This sucks, I don't understand what's happening. Maybe it's just super bad luck but it couldn't have come at a worst time. Also the lukewarm customer support reply from IRIS USA has kind of turned me off. If the third order of bins is damaged in anyway, I am giving up and buying other bins instead. These used to be so good.ORIGINAL REVIEW: These are really expensive but I really prefer them. I've bought them twice, the first time YEARS ago. I store things like camera gear and equipment plus the typical basement storage stuff. I feel like they fit a really good amount of stuff, rarely did something I own not fit into it in some way (usually they were really long things like rulers. I haven't personally had any problems with these but they don't get handled roughly. They are EXCELLENT for moving and are less curvy and not tapered like cheaper plastic bins you get at Walmart or Target or something - making them excellent for stacking. At about 5 bins, a stack does jiggle a little but I don't think it would fall over. 4 bins stacked are very sturdy. I really liked these so I had to buy more after a few years, but yes, the price is a little sweat-inducing. The negatives are small but I should mention them... I do think the foam seals are/can be a little wonky on a few of the bins, but I would hope they are easy to replace in the event that they deteriorate, become warped,or are damaged. To me they look pretty much like weather sealant strips you could get at the hardware store. The second minor gripe I have with these are that, while there are four latches on each bin going length-wise, the fact that there aren't any on the short sides sometimes make those short sides seem not...sealed enough. If that makes sense. All the security and tight seal are emphasized on the long edge, which I understand and theoretically it makes total sense, but I just noticed that the sides without latches on them have a questionable seal. Only time will tell if this gets better or worse or is just not a big deal. Still seems to work fine.

This will be my third purchase for this bin. As stated before I love these containers because they are easier to carry and stack then the larger bulkier ones. They fit a lot better in my closets and roll with ease. Very study and keeps your items dust free. Highly recommend. Ships in a timely manner also.

rangement et tout est parfait

These are amazing, the best quality I’ve ever purchased

A diferencia de otras marcas estas cajas tienen 6 broches para cerrar y lo hace más seguro para meter más cosas sin que se abra

Well constructed and versatile

Good quality
