Secure. Solid. Stackable. Balanced.
Sidewalls: rigid thick! Lid fits snugged on the rim. I flipped the tote upside down; the lid stayed locked!Absolutely love the latched handles which locked the lid without excessive force. Efficient space saving bin. I was able to stand on it without sagging.

Great tote
. I received this product as part of a My-Take research study. I love this compact style tote. I'm able to store mygardening supplies in it and put it in the corner of my garage for safe keeping. It's a great size and it latches closed to ensure nothing gets in!

Great addition to my storage needs.
This latch tote fits right into the corner of my office, in an unused space, where no one can see it, so it basically makes unusable space useable again. It's also super sturdy and easy to move around.

Gardening supplies secured!
This container is surprisingly roomy, yet it can fit easily on a standard garage shelf easily. I currently have a bag of potting soil, gardening gloves, tools and some extra pots all securely inside. Lid fits on snugly, so there won't be any bugs getting in. Very useful item to have!

A great small tote
At first I thought this tote was a little small, but it really is a great size for lugging things around easily. It is durable and I love that the lid locks on top. It is so useful for storing toys that my son doesn't play with as much and is easy to open if he decides he wants to see them again. I would recommend this product. I received this product as part of a My-Take research study.

Balance between size, durability and utility
It strikes an excellent balance between size, durability, high-quality materials and utility for organizing my home. The latches feature a very secure design, making it easy to carry the box, even when fully loaded, without any issues. I use it to store grooming and care tools for my pets; the contents remain protected against dust, moisture and insects. I received this product as part of a research study by My-Take.

Good Container
Good quality and the locking lid is really nice. It was able to hold quite a bit and I didn’t have concerns with water getting into it.

Fresh design and great sizing!
Reimagined but not overcomplicated. I love the new fresh design and colors of this classic tote. It’s a great size for storage at 12 gallons. Not too big or too small. It fits great on shelves and is nice and deep. We found this size perfect for a deep closet in our basement to slide right in and store our seasonal clothes! The latching lid is a favorite for basement or outdoor storage with a nice tight seal to keep critters and humidity out!

This 12 Gal Latch Tote is absolutely perfect. I needed a great storage container for all my Electrical extension cords and other electrical item. Everything fit perfect in this container, I can get rid of the cardboard box! It fit so great on my garage shelves. Easy to pull out when I need an extension cord for work around the house. Sterilite Containers are always my go to for storage. They are best sturdy containers. I received this product as part of a My-Take research study.
