I bought these specifically for a fairly unique reason - keeping my cats out from under my bed. They happen to be just the right height and width that they serve this role perfectly. Furthermore, they have allowed me to slightly increase my underbed storage while switching to containers that are easier to access than the long, cumbersome ones I used to have.My only complaint would be the fact that some of the inner ridges of the lids came cracked or broken. I used some packing tape to resecure the pieces. Even with them cracked or broken off, I don't THINK they'd significantly negatively impact the function of these containers. We'll see how well they hold up long term.
