As a mama of 5 my home runs on coffee and sterilite containers, pitchers, garbage cans, laundry baskets and my all-time favorite the weaved drawers. This pitcher is versatile  we consistently keep 4 of these gems that fit so perfectly in my fridge. The best part is how the lid stays attached no spills and zero complaints about beverages having "The Fridge Taste" my family range from 20-7 yrs old and since my oldest ones started daycare I have sworn by your totes for his cubby, THese pitchers through the years have remained true and last very long even after 2 drops on tile floor small chip to the lip but my pitcher held strong. We also take them to sport events have maintain well in coolers. The size is perfect for coolers as well.
