Rubbermaid Roughneck Tote Variety – |Made in the USA| Dark Indigo Metallic, Rugged Plastic Stackable Storage Tote with Lid and Handles (Pack of 10)

Excellent for moving! Critter proof but not water tight.
I bought these because we were moving and I didn’t want to do the cardboard shuffle again. We already had a bunch of boxes still in the garage from our last move over a decade ago we never unpacked. Some in cardboard and some in Rubbermaid tubs. If you’re clean as can be, raccoons, opossums, mice, etc all will try at one time or another to find a warm shelter in your building(s). If not for food, just for warmth. Cardboard and papers make excellent bedding and Rubbermaid does not! For us, sadly there was a leaky roof and some of our items were damaged. The cardboard encased items were of course FUBAR. The Rubbermaid held up better. Most of the items were protected though some water did get in and in some cases there was mold.Seeing how the Rubbermaid held up much better we decided to buy more. Local stores don’t sell them much or they’re wildly over priced. These were very reasonable and arrived undamaged. We were able to move A LOT of things using these boxes and just our 1994 Nissan Pathfinder from a 1400 sq ft house. No bubble wrap: towels and the junk mail newspapers every week helped us. Each tub safely held all of our things on each trip. It was easy to reuse each tote and then afterwards we used them to put our final garage items up. Each one stacks well into the other and as long as you’re not stacking obscenely heavy totes on top of lighter totes they do just fine. They will hold a lot – one of ours is full of books while another is full of DVDs. Just be sure whoever has to carry them knows what they’re going to pick up or “surprise”. As a fun side note they make excellent toddler distraction pools just add adult supervision, a water hose, sprayer, some ziptie sponge water balls and go!These totes as noted are not fool proof. These tubs hold up but collapse under an adult so don’t try to be smarttelligent and use one as an alternative to a kitchen ladder. They will let in water and if super windy fine dust. Be sure if you have valued items you use something like a vacuum sealed bag, gasket lined tubs, etc. The vacuum sealed bags are a great way to maximize space in these if you’re storing pillows, blankets or other linens. For photos I recommend scanning to Google Photos first which is unlimited and free (Android and iOS) as of this post. Dropping one with breakables you still risk shattering something. We mark ours up with sharpies and secure both the shelves and tubs with sturdy cordage. Older totes we’ve had held up well but I’ve noticed that the plastic these are made of (as with all plastics) is not great out in the direct sun. If these are left out exposed to the elements constantly over the years they will start to get brittle. Used in your garage, they don’t seem to. In the end, collect memories not things!Good luck with yours!

Durable, Limited manufacture’s product support
I’ve used these totes for 40 years, so obviously I think it’s a good product. I still own some from around 1990 before they changed the composition of the plastic to something less durable. Those bought later have decomposed and cracked due to exposure. Even so, it is still a pretty durable. The flex of the plastic makes it less susceptible to cracking, but that also means that you can’t stack them too high. The tops don’t come off accidentally, and the handles are done right.These are hard to find in any brick and mortar store, so Amazon is the only option for me. Ordinarily I avoid ordering large items on line in case I have to return them. When my box arrived there were 6 bottoms and 4 tops. One wonders how many packages went out that way. Typically, with most products a notice is included that should there be a problem, to contact the manufacturer instead of Amazon. I suppose that’s to an avoid a bad reputation with Amazon. Not in this case. Customer service took more than an hour to reach and seemed indifferent. They suggested I contact Amazon instead. So l did, and got a partial refund.

Sturdy. Good totes
Sturdy. Sizes are perfect. Used for decoration storage. Will purchase again when I have accumulated more decorations

Quality and size is perfect!
I should have purchased more!

Exactly what I needed but found the box to be pretty much open and all the boxes very dusty

Buen producto, se siente muy sólido.
