IRIS Plastic Storage Bins with Lids vs IRIS USA 14.5 Quart Latching Storage Bin

Both are IRIS USA latching plastic bins, but they are different sizes and shapes. The 12-quart bins are wide, shallow and modular, so they suit shelves, drawers and small belongings. The 14.5-quart clear tote is taller and boxier, so it suits shoes, craft supplies and toys. Owners of the clear tote praise the see-through body and sturdy build, but some say it is smaller than expected and holds less than the quart figure suggests. Pick the shallow bins for shelf space and the clear tote for bulky items you want to see.

• Choose the IRIS 12-quart bins if you want shallow, stackable bins that slide onto shelves and hold small belongings in plain sight.
• Choose the IRIS 14.5-quart clear tote if you want a see-through, taller bin for shoes, craft supplies or toys and want to find contents from any angle.
