Functionality and Convenience

Pros:

• "They fit perfectly in our bin organizing unit."

• "One thing to note, is the handle opening is only on the front. So don't plan to use them as two handed carry bins, just more like fabric drawers."

Cons:

• "These are not worth the money saved."
• "I wouldn’t recommend storing anything heavy in or on it like a bunch of books."
• "These cubes are okay however, they do not hold up well at all."
• "I would give this a 5 star but one of the bins was in bad shape other than that I really liked organizing my 3yo toys in them."
• "Product is fine, especially if you are using them as items that never leave the shelf. However, if you plan to get these out and put them repeatedly (ie, for kids toys) note that there is just a single handle on each."
• "One of the metal handles are beginning to come off and I’ve only had these for a month."
• "These would be excellent as drawers in a wood or plastic cubby, and they fold up neatly when you don't need them. If you're like me and hate to see clutter, these are fantastic!"

Cons:

• "The worst part is the metal handles on the side. Those things break off or bend off so easily, it's such a pain."
