I needed crates that were smaller than the 27gallon containers I currently use for items I sell at pop-up events. The big yellow and black containers are excellent for keeping my items safe and dry, but once loaded, are really too much for me to safely handle alone (I'm short and ain't getting any younger!). While I'm still on the fence about durability, so far, these crates really have made a difference when moving and packing items. PROS - Straight sides make packing super efficient. I also bought smaller straight-sided plastic bins to protect my smaller items, and wooden crates to use as displays, and everything fits in \"just right\". Collapses down super small which makes it easy to hide under the vending table. Handles at the top are rounded and comfortable - no more sharp edges digging into my fingers! Fits well on my moving cart - offers stable surface to stack other items for transport CONS - The plastic isn't as heavy-duty as I'd hoped. The crates from Costco are thicker material, which I've used and abused for years getting groceries. But the Costco brand are also smaller and don't have tops, so... as long as these last just as long, it will be worth the difference. The tops don't lock in place. Not super critical, but even a snap-lock similar to the yellow & black bins would have been nice. And that's it. Depending on what happens this holiday season, I may order more of these to carry more stock. For the price, and usefulness, you really can't go wrong.
