Why didn't I buy these sooner?I purchased the large and medium bins to use under sinks. This little piece of plastic has been life changing for me. The bins just slide out and I have TIDY access to everything. I line up cleansers in some, and have hair products in one. It's so nice to corral all the messy looking bottles and so nice to not fumble with all the stuff under there when you want just one item.

Freezer bins!I bought these to finish my freezer organization. This is the only company that had real bins with the right depth to fill the freezer and with the different sizes I was able to utilize all the space in the freezer. Hubby isnt quite on board but i love having all the foods separated by category. Great product thus far!

GREAT for Cardmaking/Scrapbooking suppliesI have several of the Large sized Multi-Purpose Bins for my craft supplies. I store in a zipper type clear bag, thin metal dies, embossing folders, rubber and clear stamps, and even 8.5 x 11" cardstock. Two of these large sized Multi-purpose bins sit nicely side by side in the open-cube style bookcases.
The built in handle on either end works very well for pulling out the bin from a shelf, and these containers are translucent enough that I can see what's in each container.

Perfect size and functionalityBought three sizes of these bins. They fit each space I'd plan for them perfectly. I love that you can store things vertically. They are durable, clear, but also have just a little flex to them. Can't wait to buy more!

The most utilitarian organizerI am absolutely obsessed with these bins. I’ve been using them for years and they come in handy in every room of my house. I use them in my closet for accessories, in the kitchen pantry, under the bathroom sink, for crafting supplies, and in the linen closet. They are incredibly durable, I’ve never had one crack or break. These are my go to for everything, can’t recommend enough.

Great Pantry OrganizerI bought these to segment out my gluten free baking supplies and snacks, but when I realized how helpful it was to be able to pull a bin of similar items right off the shelf, I bought them for the whole pantry. In the process I ended up with lots more pantry space. Love that they come in several sizes!

Perfect for the carThe XL bin fit perfectly behind my Rav's car seats. The multiple handle holes are such a plus. The height and width is perfect to hold a lot of items. Being clear helps me remember what I put in there. The price was excellent for what I wanted to do with this bin.

Perfect Size Bins!I bought several these bins during the 25% Kitchen Pantry Sale to organize my pantry and they are perfect!!! They hold all my pantry items perfectly! I like that they are clear, so you can see what what is inside them, also having a cut out handles makes it easy to pull them out to access my pantry items!!

Simple Pantry and Under-Sink Storage SolutionsThese bins aren't fancy, but they have a few great features that make them ideal for organizing pantry and cleaning products without breaking the bank. They are made of harder plastic but not completely inflexible, so they can handle the weight of heavier pantry items. The handles make it easy to slide the bins in and out of your shelves to access items within, even if you have a ribbed pastic shelf liner. The clear plastic lets you see what is inside, while the high sides keep everything neatly aligned. I highly recommend the small bins to organize shelf-stable bottles in the cabinet. No more sliding bottles around to get to ones further back and worrying about knocking bottles over in the process and no more sticky spots on the shelf liners. I organize mine by type to make it easier to remember what is where (Ex. soy sauce, sesame oil, sriracha, and rice vinegar in a bin). You can get 3-4 bottles in each small bin depending on the bottles. I use the medium bins to store cleaning products under the sink, and the extra-large bins for dish towels and plastic wrap/foil/storage bags.

How Do I Love Thee? Let Me Count The Ways....Oh, Multipurpose Bins, I love you so! From the office to the laundry room to the utility closet, you are always there for me, holding everything I need so neatly and efficiently. My only problem is that I can never have enough of you! When I purchase Multipurpose Bins for a project, invariably I discover even more uses for you and have to return to the Container Store again and again to buy more!

The perfect container for almost everythingIt is possible that the majority of my trips to TCS are for more of these multipurpose bins. TCS offers the perfect size distribution for these bins which can be used for a variety of purposes. They allow one to group many like items together and create a well organized space. They are perfect for your utility closet, pantry and under-sink organization. The bins also fit perfectly into a file cabinet, and I use them in my office for extra desk and knick- knack organization. A final tip, if you fold your bed sheets just right, each set fits into a medium bin, and they stack across neatly like books on a shelf. Great item!

Good for everything!Perfect size to hold 4 1" three ring binders - my personal cookbook collection - better than just putting them on a bookshelf ( because the binders are so much narrower on one end and don't stand upright well).
Love these for storing foods in my upright freezer also! So nice to keep everything separated by type: pork, poultry, soup, vegies, etc.
Narrow ones fit on the refrigerator door - perfect for condiments - grab them all out at once!

Perfect for the PlayroomI optimized the vertical space in my playroom closet by converting from shoebox size plastic containers with lids to the multipurpose bins. I used every width available to group like things together. My kids can easily see what's in each bin, grab what they want and its very easy to pick it up again (though we're still working on that!).
If there were a shallower option available for use in upper cabinets which are not as deep as closet cubbies, I would use these in every cabinet in my home.

By far the best storage binI had been searching high and low for a good storage option for my kid's toys, especially the ones with a million little pieces. Most bins I have found are far wider at the top than bottom, impacting how many can be placed side by side and wasting valuable shelf space. I also wanted something translucent so she could see the contents because she can't read yet. These absolutely fit the bill. The variety of sizes mean I can tailor the bins to shelving widths and the contents. They have also found their way into other areas of our home because they are so useful (pantry, under sink, even in car to hold toys and books), and even though they are no-frills and utilitarian they still manage to look nice. I will never mess with other bins again. Please don't stop carrying these!

Best Bins Ever - For EVERY roomTo say I love these bins is an understatement. I have purchased SO many of them over the years and use them in literally every closet. I use them to organize food in my pantry and freezer, sheets in my linen closet, first aid and bath products in my bathrooms, toys in my kids closets, magazines, paper, etc. in my office. I have one under every sink in the house to contain the cleaning products. The list goes on. Pair them with a label maker and you will be super organized. Container Store: Please make more sizes! I want some smaller, shorter versions and some XXXXL ones! :)

My Favorite Container Store ProductI use these everywhere... my pantry, under sinks, in my office and in my sewing room. (I've already purchased about 20 of them.) This is such a great way to use all of the vertical space available, and categorize supplies. I don't waste as much money on groceries, because my pantry is so organized.
I wish you made them in a 12" WIDTH/Depth !!!! I'd use them in the upper cabinets in my kitchen and office!

Many uses!Wasn't sure how useful they'd be until I brought some home. I got the small and medium sizes and they are great for sliding in and out under the sink and on shelves with depth. Good for storing cleaning products, hangers (so they don't get tangled) and they are quite sturdy. I can even hang spray bottles off the ends! Love them!

Most Versatile Storage ProductThese bins are great for every room in your home! The 3 sizes make them suitable for many sizes of cabinets and shelves. I use them in my home office cabinets for office supplies, greeting cards, a variety of printer paper, printer ink cartridges and envelopes. In the bathroom, I use them for soaps, lotions, hair products and brushes. In my craft area, they hold my 12x12 paper and my children's memorabilia from school and events.

Perfectly sized for everything... including MusicWe use these everywhere--taxes, healthcare files, warranties, etc... but the BEST use was realizing they would stand securely vertical--and hold collections of music so that the storage became like a bookshelf, organized by instrument and composer, and easy to access without anything falling over... Love these things! And so affordable too...

Organizing your house was never easierThese bins are the easiest way to organize your whole house. They fit in closets, pantries, bookcases, & under the sink. I have used these bins all over and they are great! They come in different sizes so they are perfect for any and all different items you need to organize. Here is a tip when starting the process of getting organized in your home. Try to group items together that go together; such as an entertainment area, with all your music and movies together. I made a closet for all our outside play stuff for the kids, and another one for inside play stuff. Then using these bins I grouped our play items together and labeled the bins. For instance we had a lot of bottles of bubbles that for some reason where all over the house in different areas. I grabbed a medium size bin put all the bubbles in it, labeled it bubbles and put on the shelf in the 'outside play stuff' closet. The house looks cleaner and now everyone including my little one can find what we are looking for so much easier. Try them you'll love them!!

best thing everI have a deep cupboard in my kitchen that has to hold food and pans. My sister told me about these and I purchased two to keep all my food together.All I have to do is pull it out and I can easily find everything, instead of emptying the whole cupboard to find that one box of noodles in the back.

Versatile binAs a professional organizer, this is one of my "go to" products. They are affordable, durable and can be used in a variety of places. I love the sizes they are available in. Perfect for so many places in the home.
How much weight will the multi purpose bin support?
Would like to stack/store can goods and other items in my pantry. Do not want it to be too flimsy.

I have filled mine with canned goods, bags of flour and sugar and have had no problems.

Do these bins fit into a letter-sized file cabinet?
I'm looking for a sturdy container that will fit into a file cabinet comfortably and hold either supplies or a large quantity of documents. BOX HANGING FOLDERS are made of paper and are vulnerable to tearing and collapsing, and have open sides so they will not work.
Thank you.

Can these be attached to a wall?
Asked by: Kejul
I have attached some of mine to the pantry wall simply using Command strips. I don’t use them to store very heavy things (paper plates, etc). They have held up for years. You could always do a more permanent install by drilling through, but I’ve found this method very successful.

What are the dimensions at the bottom of the bin versus the top?
Asked by: Klesniak
I tried to be really accurate with a fine metal ruler: Medium 4 3/16" wide at the bottom, 5 6/16" at the top. Large 6 1/8 wide at bottom, 6 3/4 at top. These are the exterior measurements. The top flexes a bit, so could be squished into a fraction smaller space.

Large: SKU#: 10045153 (13" x 6-3/4" x 9-3/4" h)
Please what is the width of the medium and large sized bins? I'm guessing (eyeballing) it at 4 and 6 inches but I need the accurate measurement.
Many thanks.

The pantry has become a modern meeting ground for households of all sizes. Grabbing a quick snack before soccer practice? How about the makings of a delicious cake? Perhaps another bottle of wine? The pantry truly has it all - but sometimes it "all" is hard to find.
