If you are like me and needs lots of these sorts of containers to organize you closet, workshop, or whatever, an important factor is consistency in the design. I had about 50 of the older design and when I needed more, that design was discontinued. This new design is the same capacity but is shaped differently so they don't stack with the older ones very well. The lid is larger and therefore the newer ones take up more space on the shelf.

The real disappointment though is the material which is probably why they redesigned it. The lid and body are thinner and the body is made from a more brittle plastic. In all the years I have owned the older design, I have never cracked one. I probably have cracked 3 or 4 of the new designs already and this is for relatively light duty. Just a way to make a cheaper to squeeze more margin out if a product of lesser quality.

A real shame.
