I bought these to store our winter clothing and blankets. We live in a small apartment and they're great for storing lots of items. I purchased the white ones and I have them on top of my armoire in my bedroom as I have no where else to put them. They are white on all sides and clear on top. They are kind of slouchy looking compared to the picture. In the picture they look like they hold up strong but there's nothing inside them to hold them up well. But since I stuffed them with a lot of stuff they are fine. If you don't fill them with a lot then they will probably look more slouchy.
