I've bought theses before, in a different size  - TWELVE YEARS AGO!! They're still going strong.  I like the see-through plastic - easy to see what you're looking for.  The heavy reinforced bottoms and lids, along with the tight-gripping snap-down handles, make them tough enough for heavy items, strong enough to pack in lots of clothing, and sturdy enough to tote and stack without bending/breaking.  So I've now ordered 10 more in this size, and I'm betting they last a dozen years too!  That makes them worth the higher price than the other storage totes of the same size.
