I've had mostly poor impressions of Sterilite stuff, with some exceptions. They definitely seem to believe in the "lite" part. Been a while so I can't remember any specific horrible examples now, but we were into plastic boxes in a big way for a while, trying to get a handle on my mess, and Sterilite didn't do well in large flattish containers with lids. We did better with Rubbermaid. I think we also had some plastic stacking drawers-in-frames from Sterilite that were utter disasters we grew to loathe. Great fun poking them with pointed sticks when we ditched them. Yrs, David |
