I have used Sterilite bins for years, but I have been very unhappy with the last two sets I have bought. I am a teacher, and I have to box up all of my classroom library for summer cleaning and waxing. Therefore, I need sturdy storage. The last few totes I have bought have ended up with cracked lids due to just the normal packing and stacking process. The lids also bow and do not stay strong and firmly protect the contents of the bins more times than not. The bins seem to do okay, but the lids are failing regularly. I wish one could buy replacement lids of a better quality. I would even be willing to pay a bit more to have good lids. Right now, I am questioning whether to continue buying your bins for the household cleanout I have planned during our summer break.
