Sterilite Medium Ultra™ Basket, Open Plastic Storage Bin, White, 6 Pack

UPDATED - Love these baskets! If you're interested in checking out some other Sterilite bins that have also been awesome for our use... Here is a link on 4 different types and sizes I've purchased here on Amazon and reviewed with photos: http://www.amazon.com/review/R1NH4O00NZKU6A/ref=cm_cr_rdp_perm?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B002BA5F5C These baskets are excellent in that they fit our closet, laundry, pantry, and linen closet shelves perfectly (as reviews here with photos already show). The shape allows you to maximize on space and provides a nice, clean look. (The others are excellent because they're stackable which is great if you plan on moving anytime in the future. If you head over to the link above, you can see more of what I mean and what I recommend each of them for.) We use these baskets in lieu of laundry baskets because the size works better for us. We hang dry at least half of every load so the bigger ones are just not necessary for us. These being taller still hold quite a bit too. Uploading some photos so you can see what I mean. It depends how small you fold your clothes (we file folded t-shirts vertically in drawers so we can see all of them; this means we fold them into quarters vertically) but what you're seeing are my Small to Medium sized tops and my husband's 2XL shirts, to give you an idea of size. Excellent value for under $20 for the six; you can't go wrong! Handles and all are sturdy and washable. Purchased a set for my family and my mom's. Would definitely recommend to others! Smile. Hope this helps! UPDATE - It is now March, 2017 and we've had these in use since 2015. They've been used for toting things during moves and so much more and are still holding up great. We have two kittens that are six months old and weigh six lb each. They both easily fit inside one and love these baskets too. 😸 After discovering one of their favorite new games, they now meow for me to let them play this because they need some help to start (but not to finish), lol. "Deep" size option, if you're interested. I'm uploading a video so you can see their game. This is Tiger-lily (white female) and Tank (brown male) and they are siblings.

I bought several of these at a retail store probably 15 years ago to use in my cubed storage unit in my laundry room. I just recently bought more of them on Amazon as the retailer doesn't sell them anymore. They are extremely sturdy and fit perfectly in my cubed wall unit. I use them for folded clean laundry and cleaning supplies. They keep my laundry room very organized and they look great in the unit!

When I ordered these I had thoughts in mind of using them to construct some self-watering garden containers; but, boy oh boy, when they arrived I just couldn't bring myself to butcher them up that way. These are some really nice containers and my wife certainly has a better use for them than I did: they have become storage places for her inventory of jewelry. It took her all of half a second to lay claim to them when I told her I wouldn't be using them. For those unfamiliar with self-watering containers, the idea is nothing new; in fact my mother had some flower pots she bought in the 1940's and 1950's that were constructed to be self-watering. The pots were made of clay with a bowl that reached about a third of the way up the side of the pot. The entire item was fired from a single piece of clay and there were holes at the base of the pot, but inside the bowl, so that water from the bowl could be drawn up into the soil in the pot to keep it from drying out. Of course, they weren't truly self-watering since an eye had to be kept on the water level in the bowl so it could be kept from running out of water. Well, the modern self-watering boxes work on the same principle and are just as effective as those old pots. They also require the same diligence in keeping the water level high enough. At any rate, these containers were spared the pain and disfigurement of being cut and/or drilled to be used in such a project...for now anyway. I may place a future order for another set of these and perform the requisite surgery to build a container garden. In the meantime my wife is happy that she ended up with them, and that means I am happy she ended up with them.

I'm a Virgo. I love to organize things. These are my favorite household utility baskets, which I used to purchase one at a time from Wal-Mart. This is a good price for 6, especially if you're a Prime member. These have comfortable handles, a strong non-brittle plastic that has an agreeable feel, and come in a great size to use as shelf organizers everywhere from the workshop to the kitchen. The list of things we use them for is long, and includes: a magazine rack (holds about 3 months with our current subscriptions), cloth and paper grocery bags (think green!), recycling (three of them, paper-glass-plastic), files (while working on a project) and papers to be filed, the grab-and-go snack assortment, and the collection of chargers and charging cables. If I had more of them I could find more uses. Be aware that they do not have a cover or lid, and the sides are perforated, so this is not what you want to keep pests out. Also, the tapered profile and the turned-out lip does cost you some lost space.

Cool stuff

I think this is my best Amazon transaction in a history of many hundreds of purchases (and many very fine transactions). I already knew the quality of the Sterilite bin and wanted a dozen matching ones for my pantry renovation. I am right in the middle of the project now and was disappointed to have delivery initially scheduled for 4 days out, but the Sterilite product holds up well, cleans up well and is in friendly sizes that work well for pantry storage. So I was willing to wait. I was so tickled to wake up this morning and see a message that they were shipping early and would be arriving today. So about 18 hours after placing the order, I have all my containers in perfect shape and ready for placement in the pantry. The icing on the cake is that the company uses the “stickers” that are easy to peel right off. No scraping off the stuck on residue or having to get out the Goo removers. I am super happy and highly recommend.

I’ve used these baskets, in the small and medium sizes, to organize my kitchen. I think that they’re attractive enough to have on open shelving where I store my ‘go to’ baking supplies. They’re equally attractive and fit well in my cabinets to group tools and supplies in a way that allows me to easily bring them out for a cooking or baking project. They’re sturdy enough to hold a bit of weight or to be pulled in and out without worrying about the plastic sides breaking.

I am an organizer! I must have 40 of these and they are great! In our bedroom, a custom built-in cabinet holds 24 of these and takes the place of dresser drawers. (And yes, we built it with these in mind so we could make the most of our space!) So much more convenient and wow can we store a lot! We had to get creative since our closets are small. In our former house I used them in my big closet to hold things like underwear, scarves, purses, etc. With a small laundry behind bifold doors, they sit atop the cabinet for sorting dirty clothes and when a basket is full to overflowing, well there’s the load, ready to launder. Just today I discovered 2 of them fit side by side perfectly in my LG bottom pull-out freezer so I can keep meats separate from veggies and sides and I can lift the baskets out to find things hiding in the bottom of each basket. No wasted space. They exactly fit my freezer. BTW smaller sterlite baskets help me keep the pull-out tray at the top of the freezer organized with other frozen items. Grandkids use these baskets under their bunkbeds to unpack their suitcases or hold their dirty clothes when visiting. Other baskets under the bunkbeds hold toys, bed linens, etc. My sewing/craft room closet is also organized using these baskets. Fabric, sewing supplies, things needing mended, ribbons, etc. I am constantly thinking of more uses for these baskets. They are great for transporting things in the car, too. Not as big as a laundry basket, so just take note of the measurements to be sure they will fit your needs. I’m telling you, they are so versatile! In writing this review I have thought of a few more places I can use some more. Guess I’ll be ordering. LOL

Excelente calidad, suficientemente grande para acomodar, pantalones o ropa doblada. Me encantaron, pediré otro juego
