Citylife 17 QT Plastic Storage Bins Clear Storage Box with Lids Multipurpose Stackable Storage Containers for Organizing Tool, Craft, Crayon

Great Product to store writing and art supplies
I have been eyeballing this organizer for months. I even looked into ways to try and make it myself for less money, but I just couldn’t find a way to do it. It was cheaper than usual this time around, so I decided to go ahead and grab one. I love it! I just got into coloring with alcohol markers, but you need a lot of supplemental things like gel, pens, colored, pencils, erasers, etc. I wanted something to put some of my more frequently used items in to make it easier to grab and go. This is perfection! As you can see, it holds all of these items and has room for more. I can even add a coloring book and a couple other paper items on top of everything and still close it with ease.It is made of a sturdy plastic, and a nice size. Also, I like that the lid closes securely with snap into place closures that also act as carrying handles. You can also remove the containers inside if your needs require. If you’re looking for something to organize writing tools or art supplies, definitely give this a go!

Perfect solution for toddler-proofing your supplies!
We have a toddler that is constantly stealing art supplies and either leaving caps off or coloring in less than ideal places, but also have a big kid who would like to be able to color when he wants to! This is a great solution to keep the supplies safe but accessible. The cups are deep, holding multiple sizes and shapes of markers, crayons, paint brushes etc. And the latches on the box are strong enough to thwart the 2 year old but allow the 6 year old access. I also love that the cups come out for use and to customize the space in the container. A little pricey but I don’t regret the purchase at all and I’d consider buying more when we have a need.

Only in service for a little over a week, but has worked well so far.
I’ve had this storage container on my wish list for possibly 2 years or better. The price point and my make-do storage solution kept me from making an Impulse purchase when I first discovered it. Fast forward to the last month. We’ve moved rooms within the house, and Ive had to come to terms with parting with the library card catalog piece I’ve been using for storage to help to reclaim space. It’s a piece I’d always wanted, and have enjoyed for a several years, but simply no longer have room for. So, I ordered one of these to start, to determine whether the size of the container would work to organize the items from the card catalog (it housed everything from sewing notions to office, art, and craft supplies – a truly versatile piece). As I began to move things to the container, I realized the quality and size were good enough to continue with this solution vs returning and trying something different. Some items are too long/tall to fit in this vs a catalog drawer, but most do. Also, if you’re considering using for artist paint brushes, be aware that longer handled brushes will not fit without bending the bristles.While organizing, I also decided that it might work well for grandson’s art supplies, vs using separate pencil bags in the cube storage drawers we’ve been using. So, I ordered more boxes – a 2-pack. The price point is still a bit more than I’d like, but I made the decision based on function and consistency of appearance within the room, and have resolved to use these for a long time to come.For grandson (5 yr old), with the clear lid, having it on top of the lower cube storage has kept art implements (crayons, colored pencils, markers, dry erase markers, etc.) in his line of sight. This setup has already invited him to be more independently crafty, vs being prompted, and it’s easy for him to remove the lid and lift out whichever cup of tools he’s wanting to use at the time, then he’s able to easily put things away on his own. Anything that prompts him to use his creativity, independently, is a win for us!The only concern I have is the sturdiness of the lid. It has some flexibility, which will help with cracking from being too rigid, but I have fingers crossed that it’s thick enough to not easily crack or break if something falls on top. It does seem to latch well enough, though I haven’t put it to the test, and they are new. If the latches become loose or if the lid warps or cracks, I will be sure to update.

My tiny artists
Very happy with this purchase, very durable. My daughter can store all of her markers, pencils and crayons in this with ease. Overall size is great and gives a clean organized look.
