IRIS USA 6-Pack 31 Qt Storage Bins with Gasket Lids, 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.

These Iris/Igloo storage bins stack nicely, have a tight-fitting lid, have lid clamps that seem to work well, and are a nice size for many products. Their generally square-corner design means they hold more or waste less space than many storage bins of similar size. I like the gasket around the lid, which provides a seal. I don't know how long the gasket will last, but under hot, cold, or normal conditions I would expect several to a number of years of durability from the material. It is possible to get the lid-clamping handles to "pop" off, but with a little patience, they can be reattached. Lid clamps on all storage bins are a weak link; however, the design of these handles seems better than many I've used in the past. All plastic storage bins have a finite life; however, some bins have greater utility than others. Many bins taper so much from top to bottom that what they will hold is compromised. Some bins when stacked slide every direction. These bins have relatively straight sides, and when stacked they stay in place (although I'm sure in a vehicle with fast corning they will slide). Plastic storage bins don't have the durability of steel bins with durable lid-clamping handles. What they do have is a price point that makes them affordable for many uses, unlike steel bins. These Iris/Igloo storage bins are priced well for their quality. They aren't the cheapest bins, but they certainly aren't prohibitively expensive. So far I've purchased them in several sizes and am totally satisfied with them.

Came back to order another set & was reminded to review. Although I'm a member of Vine, I bought these as a regular Amazon customer. I think this 6pk was about $36ish which I'm happy to pay for the quality. These are thick plastic with secured side handles which don't fall off with ease. Just know these don't have a top handle. I believe this might be the smaller size, but sufficient to get me started on re-organizing my utility closet. Wanted to see how far the 6k got me, and it's probably enough for most people. I'm a 37F, though, with dogs, meds, supplements, toiletries, face products, etc.. Ordering a second set now for items which take up more space. Thrilled these work as intended. Clear so I can see what's in them. Price is fine/fair. I've bought a number of organizers like this, and higher price doesn't necessarily mean better quality. However, super low price tends to get you cheaply made ones. These would be good for organizing arts and crafts, and these 6qts are likely big enough for up to size 8 ladies shoes.

Several came broken. It was a little bit of a hassle to call the company, wait for a call back, then send an email with pictures to the email they told me in the phone call. But they sent replacement parts that fixed the issue free of charge. But caution the only area that broke was the hinge of the snap closure. I worry they may fail in the future, but have been good so far.

I was a little leery ordering these after seeing so many reviews stating they can tend to arrive with broken parts. I feel I got lucky in that all six arrived intact. I bought these after finding a clothing moth infestation had sprouted in a WIP and the project bag I had in my living room, so I needed boxes with gaskets and a good seal to secure the rest of my yarn stash after decontamination. The snaps on the lids feel very secure, but they snap so strongly, I am a bit worried they may break over time. All in all, the bins seem pretty sturdy and secure, and will function well to keep any lingering moths out of my stash.

Poor quality, arrived broken. See pictures. Buy other products that have more robust tabs on locking bars. These are very thin and not long enough. Several bars were loose from breaking off and I had to reassemble gently to keep from breaking off tabs. Can't return due to costing me to travel to return site. Stuck with them.

31 quart is perfect for canning jars. If you are ok with them not being in rows you can fit 17 quart size jars. And they work great for smaller jars also, cut cardboard to divide and stack. I've been happy with everything I've gotten from the IRIS brand. Perfect balance of price and quality. I was considering soft side or cardboard storage for my jars and these rodent proof and sanitizable containers are actually less $$. Nearly straight sides, lock together stacked, locking lids with lip and foam seal.

They're pretty good, but packaging is iffy. One of the six containers arrived with a clip broken off -- they're very thin where they hook onto the containers, so it looks like it was probably damaged in transit since Amazon loaded the box inside a much larger box with no padding. Since it's one handle out of four, it doesn't seem worth returning, may try to find a replacement. Just bear in mind that ordering through Amazon may leave you with one damaged container out of six.

Una de las cajas venía en mal estado.

Las cajas y tapas llegaron en buen estado en cuanto a acabados y sello contra aire/humedad, aunque una de las cajas llegó sin una hebilla. La falta de esta afecta el sello para la caja, pero la tapa se mantiene, también su uso solo para almacenar. Se sienten menos resistentes que las de uso rudo, pero las busqué por su sello en tapas.

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.

Las cajas son buenas, precio alto, pero el problema real es que las tapas (4 de 6) llegaron con pestañas rotas.

Does the job. Clips are flimsy however. They can break easily if not careful, but ok overall
