Sterilite Nesting ShowOffs Clear File Box w/ Latches

Miss the older design. The new version doesn't stack well with the older version.

I have used these bins and the smaller version for years in my classroom to organize materials and for student stations. This year many of the bins latch closures have failed/broken. I wish I could order replacements for them as the lid and box itself are still in great condition.

Plastic is too fragil. Snap Pretty to look at but not durable enough for serious storage where they will be routinely used.

There needs to be a better way to ship to prevent breakage. Or a better way to get a lid replaced without returning the entire shipment (12 plastic containers with lids shipped in 2 boxes). The containers are perfect for storing speech therapy materials and transporting between work locations.

Have multiples about 8 of these boxes. They stack well. I started out using a different one of your boxes for my metal dies and embossing units and elements but soon realized these worked even better and were smaller less heavy when full. However for my Extra long and larger embossing folders and metal dies I continued to utilize the flatter box with similar locking lids. In the end I switched most of the dies into standard three ring binders as I discovered I could find what I was looking for faster than the file style of these. NOW what to use these for? Oh my gosh the answer was soon realized. They slip easily and fit perfectly into my 22 year old Class B+ RV I bought in their upper cupboards and a few of the lower ones too. Wonderful couldn't ask for a more prefect fit and use. So even shopping for another one or two. I continue to keep two for currant projects in my paper craft area. And also they are wonderful to tote to a neighbors or get together this summer with like minded friends who also emboss and die cut for cards and now even T-shirts and what have you using the sublimation pens and paper you can also cut out and iron on designs with. So again these also carry rolls of 12 inch long vinyls of all kinds. I have vinyl for iron on, for sticking on and foil rolls for laser ink heat laminating on. Oh my gosh more rolls and these are long enough to take a big stack of those too. Yes yes yes to this design...did I mention they stack pretty well.

It's clear, large for oversized items/files, closes tight, handle is helpful, no wasted space & overall a great storage/container, I love it!!

I bought one of these a many years ago and the design and quality were great. My daughter borrowed it and wants to keep it, so I was looking for a new one. Other than the fact that it is now completely clear, which I like, this new version only gets 2 stars; because, as another reviewer said so well, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it. These are a step backwards. Consumers need stacking not nesting. Nesting is only useful for you the manufacturer when they're empty to make shipping cheaper and for the seller to make displaying them easier. Consumers want containers that stack easily and securely. The older version does that quite well and are more versatile. And this new style doesn't stack will the old style. It's a form of planned obsolescence. Consumers cannot use the older style with newer style, so they are somewhat forced into purchasing a hole new array. Not to mention that this type of business strategy adds to waste. For shame. Grrrhonda" I strongly second her remarks! Thank you.

I have 4 of the 1876 filing boxes! They are fantastic! I can’t seem to find them in any of the stores I have checked in Macon, GA

I Like the portability and the stack ability of this file box. Great for storage.

We purchased six of these totes on an online auction. I have made good use of them, but the only problem is, there was only two lids for them. I would like to purchase four lids. Is that possible?

I have several of the old style Showoff storage containers. Love them. But recently I needrd a new one, and was disappointed to find the design has changed. They no longer stack neatly, and the new "curvy" design reduces the actual amount of space inside for storage. I give the older version a 5-star rating. This new one, not so much. They are o.k. if you just need one, or don't need to stack them, and don't mind wasted space inside.

I keep my dog supplies in one...nail trimmer, brushes, and hair clippers. In the other I have my Dremel with all the accessories. I love them, too bad you can't find them anymore.

The snap connection on the 1876 is weak due to the plastic "snap" on the ends. They Crack and then won't secure the closeur making it unsafe when lifting or carrying.

I love the older style of these totes and the flip lid. It would be great if this design comes back. It helps to keep in home storage stackable and uniform.

I have had the older model (18962206) for many years and it has held up great - sturdy, good size, not too flimsy - now trying to buy more only to find out that the design/dimensions have been changed, and based on the reviews not for the better. Maybe the old ones held up too well? ;)

Love the color of the accents. Easy to use, great to see what’s inside. Doesn’t hold a lot of weight though, lid will come undone if contents are too heavy.

Love the color accents. Easy to use and great to see what’s inside. The lid already had a chunk broken off of the corner, though, with typical usage.

Love these for craft storage and modular organization. However, the design has changed which is a super annoying trait of many plastic totes. It makes replacing a single piece of a larger modular collection a nightmare. The older design had more headroom in the lid and I had even found a cool tray that fit inside. They also came in fabulous colors like purple on purple with glitter infused in the bin part. The white lids look dingy fairly fast and are uninspiring. Not a fan. My older purple ones still look great and stand up to the test of time.

i woulod rather have the item that used to have the handle on the top it made it so much easier to transport from office to office. not crazy about the new look
