Akro-Mils 30250 AkroBins Plastic Storage Bins, Space-Saving Stackable Bins for Garage, Pantry, Craft Organization, 15-Inch x 16-Inch x 7-Inch, Blue, 6-Pack

I left the same comment on the other Akro-Mils tubs, but want to get the word out to ensure that individuals purchasing these understand the benefits.As a small business owner, I am always on the lookout for storage solutions that are both efficient and space-saving. After trying various options, I recently outfitted my shop with Akro-Mils Storage Tubs, and I must say, they have completely transformed my inventory management. Here's a detailed comparison with the stackable Home Depot brands and why I think Akro-Mils is superior, especially for businesses big and small.1. Space Efficiency: The Akro-Mils tubs are designed to be incredibly space-efficient. Paired with wall-mounted shelving, these tubs utilize vertical space superbly, which is a game-changer for any business with limited floor space. Unlike the Home Depot stackable tubs, which primarily stack on the floor and can limit access to items at the bottom, Akro-Mils can be individually mounted on the wall, making every tub easily accessible without the need to unstack.2. Ease of Labeling: One of the standout features of the Akro-Mils tubs is how easy they are to label. Each tub has a smooth, flat surface that accommodates labels perfectly, which is not always the case with the curved designs of some Home Depot options. This feature is particularly useful for businesses that need to keep track of numerous small parts or products, as it allows for quick identification and retrieval.3. Durability and Design: Akro-Mils tubs are made from a high-quality, robust plastic that holds up well under frequent use. This is crucial for a commercial setting where the bins are accessed multiple times a day. The Home Depot tubs are also durable, but I've found that the design of Akro-Mils focuses more on long-term durability and usability, with a more reinforced structure that resists wear and tear.4. Customization and Variety: The variety of sizes and the ability to customize the shelving layouts with Akro-Mils provide a tailored storage solution that can grow with your business. You can select different sizes for varying needs, something that's limited with the uniform sizes of many Home Depot stackable tubs.5. Cost Effectiveness: Initially, setting up Akro-Mils shelving and tubs might seem like a higher investment compared to buying a few stackable bins from Home Depot. However, the increased efficiency, ease of access, and better space utilization translate to savings in time and reduced inventory errors, which in the long run, is invaluable.For any business owner, whether you manage a small shop or a large warehouse, optimizing space and improving inventory management is key to operational efficiency. Akro-Mils Storage Tubs, combined with their customizable wall-mounted shelving, offer a superior storage solution that makes every square foot count. The easy labeling and durable design are just icing on the cake.Highly recommended for anyone looking to streamline their inventory management while maximizing space. Switching to Akro-Mils was a decision that has paid off manifold in terms of organization and efficiency.

These will completely change the way we organize beer cans at my job. The fact that they are stackable is incredible. We used to have bustubs of beers stacked on top of each other and in order to even see what's in the bottom tub you'd need to remove all the tubs on top of it. No longer!

Good quality and strong

As Described and Very Satisfied.

I looked everywhere to find these in the right size for my garage shelves (no, I didn't purchase the Akro-Mills hanging system because I didn't need it). They seem the right size, and although I'd have preferred a different color, they had the best price (used/returned), and I figured that I could see the items inside the bin better on a bright yellow surface. Since I chose a used/returned item, at a huge discount, I wasn't surprised that one (out of six) arrived chipped and cracked. I decided to try some gorilla glue and clear package tape instead of the hassle of returning them and then shopping for another set all over again. My only concern, considering the cracked one, is how well these will hold up in the garage with metal, wood, tools and other heavy objects inside. We shall see.Overall, though, they seem well made, and I'm sure the expensive price tag is owing to the fact that they are made in the USA. Accordingly, I have rated these bins with what I feel are appropriate stars for their features.

I needed a storage system for fairly small pieces of fabric that I use in quilts. I was storing the fabric in plastic storage tubs but had to un-stack the tubs and open them to find specific pieces of fabric. I stacked these bins 12 high on a rolling plywood base (I have to use a step-stool to see into the top bin) but it has made finding fabric SO much easier than it was before! I think many would be a good choice for yarn also. The bins are sturdy and the stack is very stable, I am just careful about rolling it across the room.

These bins are great. They stack nice, and can hold a lot of weight. No issues with warped bins, and no defects. They can get pricey but I am happy we went with these. I expect these bins to last a lifetime, and highly suggest this product to everyone!

Damaged in shipping and there is no option to get just the damaged ones replaced, these are bulky so not going to deal with the return and buy again hassle
