Side by Side Comparison of: STERILITE vs InterDesign

2 arrived broken, but that's from transport. They are great containers though.

I like the lid latch and the ease of carrying this tote. I also like that it's clear so I can see what's in it. I will buy this kind again.

For the money, these re-usable storage containers are terriffic.They seal tightly with a clever latch design, and the big ones are capacious.They stack easily, and you can see what's inside.

What a great invention! Safely store clothes, photos, keepsakes, etc etc. Sterilite makes a very good container for all that you need to keep safe and clean. My attic is full of cardboard boxes but every time I take one downstairs, I replace it with a Sterilite container. Slowly but surely all will be replaced with these containers. Easy to see the contents, no need for writing on the box. I have Sterilite containers of all sizes.

Great it works fine.

OK, you can find better storage bins at probably a bazillion other stores. The problem I have is that you end up with a collection of diverse different sized bins that don't always fit together or stack that well. Also different colors, blue orange ones from halloween sales, etc. I keep buying these bins on Amazon even though I know I could probably find cheaper better ones. The reason is that they are stackable, see through and the more you buy the more cohesive your storage starts to look and become. I can see and find most everything in these. And let's face it, I am lazy. Just the click of a couple of buttons and I have some nice bins. Saves me gas and time.

All those tiny onsies, tiny pants, tiny socks, tiny hats, tiny... you get the idea. They end up an unorganized mess in the drawer. These help to organize and maximize the space in the drawer. Can't be beat at this price ($5.50). Any more and I probably wouldn't have purchased. Good value and they are nice and sturdy too.

I have seen similar items in my local stores retailing at higher prices so I was ecstatic to find these on Amazon for a fraction of the price. I ordered the set of 3 and the 16-compartment. I used them to organize my underwear and sock drawer and it works great. I wasn't surprised by the size because I have seen these before in person and was able to plan my use of them accordingly. I have no complaints.

I bought these bins to organize my newborn baby's accessories and small items in her bureau drawers. The first set I recieved came with an unfinished seam. I contacted Amazon and they quickly sent me a new set. I have been using these bins regularly since May and they have held up well. They are the perfect size for small items. I like that they are gender neutral as well.

These bins are terrific. They are small & for storing small items. I bought this one to try it out and have since ordered 3 more packages as I love them! I use one for my nightstand. The small squares are perfect for lip gloss, hair bands, and other handy bedside items. I am using the others on a shelf. I love the gray chevron design! I waited for the price to drop before purchasing more. They were a great buy!

My family likes to tease me about being "too organized." However, even they will be impressed with my sock/hosiery drawers now. This design is perfect. The little cubicles hold my items perfectly while keeping them visible. The unit came packed flat and when I opened it I was so pleased. I had been using a hard plastic divider that was meant for a kitchen so this is sooooo much better! I love it and highly recommend it for every person who likes to find things without tumbling through a mass! Yes, being organized has its benefits and this unit helps.

These fit perfectly in my bathroom cabinet. The shelf only goes about 6/6.5 inches deep. These fit great and I can still close the door. I am very happy I found these!!! Now I can hide my lady products in the guest bath for other ladies to find without grossing out the men ;-) . Be sure to read the dimensions because they are not big boxes. They are meant for small items.

It is great for the price. Not air tight covers. Good quality material. Im using to pack my stuff to move. They are perfect while I am living out of containers. I can find my stuff easily. I saw simillar ones for $8 plus in store. This is a great deal......Sad news is Im trying to buy another set and I am not getting the same great price.Why did it jump from $14 to $54. Frankly, I will not pay so much for them.......Not worth so much. Back to store for me!

Just know that while these are great for storing, not the best for moving around too much. The clips do not attach to the base tightly, so if you over pack, the lids won't stay snapped on. For my purposes, these boxes work well.

This is the best price for these,and they really are better quality than I expected. Perfect to store Xmas stuff,out of Samson clothing & equipment and a million other things. I'll probably come back for more..

These bins are a good size for storing clothes, towels, extra bedding, etc.The only problem is the latches on the handles. They stay closed, as long as there is nothing pushing up on the lid. For example, I packed one of them with clothing, but did not over-stuff it, and the lid stays closed. However, I tried to use another one of the bins for a down comforter, which compresses when stuffed into a container. I stuffed the comforter in the bin, but when I tried to put the top on, the latches were not strong enough to resist the small amount of pressure the comforter was exerting on the lid. The lid wouldn't stay on. The comforter was not packed too tightly, just a little bit. But the latches could not handle the pressure.This isn't an issue if you're planning on storing things that won't press up on the lid, but there are storage bins out there with stronger latches that hold the lid down more effectively. These ones are being sold for a good price though, so if you don't need great latches, these ones are fine in every other way. Just don't buy this for a down comforter, or anything else that would have to be compressed (even if it only needs to be compressed slightly).

I love that these are see-through. They are the perfect size for storing baby clothes, maternity clothes, and clothes I hope I'll fit into again someday but probably never will. They store well in my son's large closet. They're shorter and taller than a normal sized laundry basket. You can stack them on top of each other when they're full and it works great. They could maybe stand to be a little bigger but I'm happy with the size.Update: These were $42 when I bought them 4/12/12, now they are $56 9/10/13. I'd like to buy some more, but not at this price.

Cons: As others have noted, the latches are not air- or water-tight and they snap off much too easily. If you plan on using them for moving (for instance), think about it -- very carefully.Pros: The latches are easy to snap back on. The boxes do stack nicely, you can see what's in them, and you can't beat the price. I actually prefer the modular Iris boxes but Amazon doesn't offer them other than singly in this size (available at the Iris website, though, with a huge shipping cost).

These were really cute and decently made. However, I thought they were larger when I ordered them. They are very small boxes and don't hold much. They weren't what I wanted or needed so I returned them. They would be good for an office or for holding little girl bows or little toys maybe. They did have a cute design though.

I bought these to organize my babies clothes which are normally smaller in size. I found that these were a bit too small for what I needed and I ended up buying a different set that was slightly larger in size. However even though the long ones were a bit too small for the babies clothes we have used them for our dressers. I use the long ones to separate my underwear drawer and have it more organized now. The second set we have collapsed which is a great feature that these have for easy storage. I use right now the smaller squares for the babies hair accessories. Great buy still even though I had to change my original game plan.

Super cute organizing bins. They were a little smaller than I thought they were going to be, but not a huge deal. I use them to organize jewelry and such and they do the job nicely. My only thought was I wish they had some other options on different colors or styles of bins, but overall love what I paid for!

I found theses soft baskets which ship flat and assemble easily to be a great organizational tool for my cupboards with large open shelves. They allowed me to group similar small items together and create a less cluttered look in a large open cabinet and supporting better organition. Because the baskets are not transparent though this does make it more difficult to quickly tell what supplies I have where so I paper clipped index cards with labels to the front of the baskets. It would be great if the baskets had a built in label slot allowing the insertion of a label card

Make sure you look at the dimensions. These are small containers. They are not tall which makes them ideal for organizing things in dresser drawers. I purchased the set to organize baby items and they are still a bit smaller than I'd like (height is perfect for her dresser drawers). I ended up putting her tiny socks in the large bin. Her hats went in one small bin and her two swimsuits went into the other. I love the chevron pattern. The coloring is more grey but does have tan undertones. The white is not bright, more off white.

These are what I wanted but the color is a little off from the picture, the gray is gray but the white is more of an off white alomost beige color. It is fine because I am using them inside my little ones dresser drawers but if I had these exposed and had an entire gray and white theme going on I would have returned them.

It's a good deal for the amount of space you get but the clasps don't click at all. You have to tape down the top if you want it to stay completely shut. Otherwise be careful hauling it around.

I bought these to use as non-heavy duty inside storage for things like small electronics, craft supplies, computer equipment, music equipment, holiday decorations, blankets, etc. I like the fact that they are see-through so I can see what's inside of them. The bins themselves are strong enough, although I've never been a fan of Sterilite's curved shape, it can make fitting things in them challenging. What I really hate are the lids. First off, they don't latch properly. Secondly, they curve outwards unnecessarily and aren't flush against the container as well as they could be. This makes the difference when you are storing them side by side, or when they poke out just enough that the closet door won't lay exactly flat. I wouldn't care if it represented actual storage space, but it's just excessive. I would not recommend this model, I recommend the "Ultra Latch Box" series instead.

These bins are okay. The advantage is that they are translucent so you can see what's inside and they stack relatively well. As for the tops clipping on, well they do... sort of. I was expecting bins I've seen in the past that had tops that latched more tightly. These tops will pop off if the container deforms even slightly and since they're plastic that's going to happen pretty easily, like for example moving them.Quality control is a bit lacking too, I bought 2 boxes of 4 bins and one top in each of the boxes was cracked. Nothing that rendered the tops unusable, since they don't come close to sealing but when you buy something new you expect to get something that's whole and undamaged. No point in complaining about it, they're bins and they're out in the garage now.So if you're looking for bins to pack things in that you will stack and leave they will do nicely. If you want something that has a more sturdy latching top or something that more tightly seals (or you'd like them to be undamaged when you get them) these aren't going to be useful.

The clear plastic bins are nice and seem very durable. However, the lids do not stay on very well. At first I thought it was user error and I was just doing something wrong. Nope they are just not the right fit. They work for what I need them for so it is not an issue for me. I am moving and using them to store items so they do not get wet, such as electronics, documents, and dress clothes. I will most likely donate them to good will after the move any way.

I bought these in September from here and it was $31(my 2nd set in a year) for a 6 pack of 66 qt with green handles. They are mediocre - not the best I have but not the worst. For the price, it was reasonable, so I came back to get more, a third time, in January but they were around $65. I was outraged but knowing amazon as well as I do, usually a price change that big will go back to normal a few days later. I keep checking and it keeps going up, not down, today they are $77. Absolutely ridiculous. Are they worth the $31 I spent the first time? yes, for bins, they were ok and I don't need to worry about humidity or stacking anything heavier than another full bin on top of them. For $40 or more, I want heavy duty storage bins that I can store in a garage or shed or the back patio and not hve to worry about water or humidity or bugs or whatever - and I want them to be able to hold heavy duty items-not clothes or dvds or Christmas decorations that are lightweight and won't make them bend.The prices here lately on some items are so out of touch with reality I don't know why they even carry them. If you cannot sell them at a reasonable price that is not completely jacked up by non-market issues, you are only harming your website's reputation. When regular customers start to no loner trust that what they are getting is a competitive price for quality and now has to do a lot of research because you cannot be trusted, you were better off discontinuing the sale of the items.Bottom line is quality for price - they are worth the original price, up to $35 and that's it. Current price for quality would be less stars, but that's not really fair - so I rate based on what I paid - and everyone should know the current price is outrageous compared to just a few months ago.

Although the lid for this storage box does latch, it does not completely seal the box all around. Since I am placing this set of boxes in the storage room of an apartment building, I wanted the lids to seal completely in order to prevent any critters from finding refuge inside the boxes. I ended up using shipping tape all around to completely seal the gaps. I also noticed that if you try to lift the box by the latch, the latch will open. Make sure you hold on to the box handle which is directly below the latch. I guess I should not have expected a perfectly fitting and sealing lid for the price paid.

Nice idea. Best used for socks or small items, not the bras which I use it for. They do not fit in the slots completely. It does keep them separate and untangled in the drawer. It allows me to see them all at once instead of digging around for the one I want. Good for panties.I would buy again for the price.

Read measurements carefully before buying. These were smaller than I thought they would be. Also looked a little cheaper than the picture. Other than that, the pattern is cute. The are lightweight and practical for small spaces.

I purchased these organizers to sit on our mud room shoe rack and hold pairs of toddler shoes. They started out working well, but in a matter of a few weeks, the inner dividers have gone from being a little floppy to pretty much crushed. They still work, but it requires two hands to insert a pair of shoes (or any item) into the space - one to pull up the edges, and the other to insert the item. I'm still able to use them (albeit with a bit more effort than I had hoped), but my two and four year old just end up piling their shoes on top of the box.At a glance the overall "look" of the product is good, but on closer inspection even the outer material is very very thin, nearly see-through. I'm not sure, frankly, that another brand would be better as most seem to be constructed of the same materials. I wanted to love these, but doubt I would purchase them again unless it was from a dollar-store type retailer.

The organizer looked very nice in the picture and it is well made, however it is tiny. It might be good for arts and crafts or hair bands and such but it did not work for men's socks and underwear. You might be able to fit flimsy lingerie in the compartments one item at a time but I had to return it because I am not that organized.

Smaller than I expected, but I made it work to organize the baby's shoes in the nursery. I was hoping they would fit a whole drawer of the dresser but it took up less than half the space. The material is also a bit cheap and flimsy, but it was relatively cheap. I'd prob rather go with IKEA if they made it in a chevron pattern

Not very sturdy and definitely overpriced. I'd spend max $2 for another one of these. There is no structure on the bottom of this container, so only the flimsy fabric is keeping the bottom from collapsing. The interior boxes are also extremely flimsy. Overall, I would only recommend this product, if you are a fan of the design.

Practically rubbish. Lids don't secure. Even if you tape them on. If you just want to put stuff in the box and lay the lid on top and set it on a shelf, then perfect, this is your box. But if you expect the lid to latch to the box, you are going to be disappointed. I was.

I bought these to store items in our utility room, which can get pretty buggy so I wanted everything to seal tight. I thought surely the complaints about the lids not latching must be user error. They really DO NOT latch! At all! The first tote I filled was pretty full, so I tried it on an empty one too. You can pull the lid right off, it's just too large for the tote. The position of the handles is irrelevant. It's mind boggling how non-functional these lids are. Still gave it two stars because the tote is nice and sturdy. I hope stacking them helps to seal the lid down.

I purchased a few of these as a means for storing Christmas decoration. They are a good size, but the clips on the top don't actually clip. They kind of, sort of clip down, but any sort of pressure or movement and they easily slide right off. I was hoping it would be more of a hinged motion, so it would take a little bit of effort for them to come off. That isn't the case. If you're looking for storage and aren't worried about the lid movement, then I'd say these will do. If you're looking for a tight lid fit, skip this FOR SURE. Perhaps that's my fault in not investigating, but the blue handles led me to believe they would.

I wasn't careful enough with the picture of the item and ended up purchasing this one instead of what I meant to get: http://www.amazon.com/Sterilite-66-Quart-ClearView-Latch-Pack/dp/B003EH1GH2/ref=sr_1_2?s=home-garden&srs=2601327011&ie=UTF8&qid=1392327829&sr=1-2&keywords=sterilite+storage+containers.The lid won't stay closed and pops off whenever the bin is moved or handled. The shape is odd: There is this depression in the sides instead of having them straight, so you can store flat things against them instead of having unused space in the container.I wouldn't recommend this item. The one I linked to is far superior and has stood up to tons of rough handling at our house. Same name brand, though.

I like that the bins are of large size (66qt), and I like that they are see-through so you can tell what's in which of the 4 bins. They seem reasonably tough but like most of these clear plastic bins I think it will crack if you ask too much of it. I also like the way the lid covers the whole top, making it essentially rain-proof.What I don't like is that the latching handles don't latch all that solidly, and it would take almost no effort to remove a latched lid without using the latch. Also, if you store them end to end, when you push one bin against another the two handles hit and it causes one of them to pop the lid.I was looking for something durable, maybe a little flexible, transparent, large, rainproof, with lids that latch and hold. I got half of those things. And the price was pretty rich, made me think I was getting something better.

I got these because I wanted to have something to store camping items in to help save time with preparation/tear down.Pros:Size - they are big enough to store a lot but not bug enough to get in the way.Clear - you can see into the box without having to open it, so you save some time.Cons:Cheap construction - the plastic around the breaks easily (2 of mine were broken on delivery)Lids don't "latch" - I was hoping the tops would be like Tupperware and would seal and latch...NOT the case. Even without being full the tops easily come off when moving them around. This was a pain, as the lids would come off while moving them out to my truckWhat can I say? I was hoping for better but I guess I am stuck with these.

Really nothing like I thought you would think something this small would have a better design than the Chevron . I really don't know what I would use this for I thought they would be at least a little bit bigger, plus they are very flimsy .

These are super cute - I ordered two of these and two undivided ones. I use them to organize tights/leggings. I would have rated them higher except one of the items was sewn together crookedly, so not all compartments are the same size. Will work for how I am using it though, so I kept it.

Waaaaaaay smaller then I thought. Would return these but I think shipping them back would be more expensive than the return value. I mean I found things to put them in but def not what I thought.

They're a lot smaller than one might think. I've managed to cram some things into them, but I know I'm going to have to look for something bigger sooner rather than later.

Great premise and idea and the picture makes them look sturdier and larger. I am using mine, but would not purchase them again which is the acid test for me.

These came and they were teeny tiny compared to what I was expecting. I can maybe place nail polish in them, or small items, but I was planning on actually using them to organize items on my shelves. Maybe I can put them in a drawer to organize something. I am not happy with the size overall but I like the design.

These are the worst plastic totes I have ever used. the plastic tub itself is OK but the lid is awful - it wont stay on unless you are extra careful to make sure you dont have anything that might push on the outsidewalls of the tub -- for example if you fill it with clothes you naturally want to get as much in as you can but if anything pushes on the sidewalls or the top -- even if its just a fluffy blanket the clasps on these are so bad that anything that touches the lid will also prevent you from being able to properly close this container. I would have returned these but needed them right away and couldnt wait for anything better so I ended up duct taping some of the lids closed and on a couple i put another tote on top of it and that was enough to get it to stay in place. Please do not spend your money on these.

the latches aren't very secure and when they arrived 2 of them (the bottom ones in the box) were cracked and broke.

I had to return because the tops did not fit on the containers. I could push the handles down (with the locking mechanism) and then lift the top off of it. I read other reviews on this but wanted to try it out. It was a waste of my time to have to return. Take away - I should listen to the reviews next time.

So disappointed in these storage bins. I bought other serilite storage bins about a year ago and they were great! I went to buy more and couldn't find them anwhere. It looks like the company has downgraded their quality tremendously. The bins I own have secure/tight lids whith a strong latch. These bins have super flimsy lids that barely latch. I can actually pull the lid slightly open when they are latched! So super disappointed. I would return them, but I'm having a baby in a week and need something to help organize things around the house. Not happy that I have to settle on these ones...

Unfortunately I did not read the reviews before purchasing this product because its average rating was pretty good and it's just a storage container. This was a BIG mistake! Like other reviewers have reported, the lid does NOT create a seal at all. The handles also only barely latch on.I used one of these bins to store and transport a duvet, which was a tight fit, and when I closed the box, the duvet was bulging and would push the lid away from the box everywhere except near the handles where it was latched. The latches were able to stay latched, but it took very little to have them come loose while moving the box around.Definitely stay away from this product.

The lids to these bins do not latch to the bin itself. It seems like they're supposed to, but if you try to pick them up, the lid will pop off. To my mind, this is entirely unacceptable, since the whole point of buying a storage bin with a lid is to keep things enclosed. When I used these for storage, I had to duck tape the lids to the bins. These bins are not worth it - especially considering how expensive they are.

Product is dingy in color and unattractive. I've returned mine.

Lousy. No stability between the squares and won't fit hardly anything. They are tiny.

This may hold socks or tights, but certainly too small for adult leggings, which is what I bought them for. I should have read the sizing better. (Although the overall dimensions were accurate the "Cubbies" are too small

Zipper broke not worth it

These were much, much smaller than expected.

Cheap, tiny, and one of my boxes actually came with some black scribbled handwriting on the side. I didn't want to go through the hassle of returning. Not a good buy.
