Stack-On CB-12 Clear View 12-Bin Organizer

I purchased two of the Stack-On Clear View 12-Bin Organizers to use in my kindergarten classroom for storing small pieces for our phonics center. These are much sturdier and thicker than I thought they would be. I was expecting the thin plastic that the Stack-On drawer organizers are made of. This was a pleasant surprise.I expected the doors to be attached to each individual bin, but it is one long clear door over each row. It does lock into an open position and is pretty secure when closed, as it sort of snaps into place in the closed position. I'm a little worried that if I snap the door into the closed position that it will eventually break. To remedy this, I am just closing the lid without snapping it into place. I have these organizers hanging on a drywall wall using screws and plastic anchors. Should last for years and years, especially since my kindergarten students are not allowed to get into it. :)I used some cute scrapbook paper, cut it into the shape of each bin lid, and used Mod Podge to adhere and seal the scrapbook paper onto each door. I then applied alphabet letters and a protective layer of Mod Podge to label each bin with the alphabet letters, with the last two having two letters each since there were only 24 drawers on two of these units. I am using these to keep up with and to keep separated all of these tiny toys and trinkets we use in kindergarten for sound sorting. These bins are going to do the job perfectly and are going to be super cute. See the photo I added for ideas - I have shown the decorated bins with the top lid being open.

This is a perfect solution for the gift wrapping station at my retail store. My employees love it because it saves counter space and they can easily grab items while gift wrapping. We use it for various ribbon, small order forms, and other small items that are unique to our business. Before I bought this, I asked a question about the doors being removable. I didn't want them to get in the way. Several folks responded that the doors were removable, but I tried and it wasn't easy, so I left them on.... which is okay. They stay propped open just fine and it's no big deal. PRO'S: This unit stands up against our back wall and didn't need to be mounted for support. It saves a lot of counter space, which helps us wrap gifts more efficiently. It is a GREAT way to organize little things. I cannot say enough about this. I'm just so happy to have found it. CONS: This is not really a criticism, but make sure to take measurements. The bins are smaller than I realized. It fits our needs perfectly, but if you have big plans for each bin, make sure they'll work for your items. Also make sure the height will work for you. We have this underneath a shelf. We wanted a second one, but our other space was too small for this. Take measurements before you order.

This item had a LOT of flashing left on it both inside and out. For that reason alone, I only gave it a 4-Star rating.Other than that minor flaw, I am very pleased with this item. Was glad it is actually a little larger than I had visualized it. [ Not as good at visualizing dimensions as I used to be when I was younger. ] :-) It appears to be well made, and is thicker plastic than I expected.As far as how well it will hold up to use, I will have to wait and see. I just received it yesterday and haven't put it to use yet.I do believe it will hold up well, though, and will probably be ordering another one in the near future. I really like the clear covers. They not only make items very easy to see, they also will protect items from dirt and other contaminants pretty well, IMO.Haven't decided whether I will wall mount this unit or just set it on my bench. If I set it on my bench, I will just tape over the mounting holes on the back so no wasps can get inside and build a nest. I would recommend this unit to anyone wanting easy parts storage with a clear/protected view of what's in each bin.

I purchased two of these and I love them. I mounted them on the wall in my garage. Their purpose is to hold various sizes of nuts, bolts, washers, nails, and screws. I like the doors and have no complaints about them, but I also don't latch them down completely. I can see how some reviewers don't like the force needed to open and close them, but it's a non-issue for me. The only con I have is the packaging. Amazon, or whoever packed these, did a poor job of doing so. The shipping boxes were larger than they should have been, the packaging material was minimal and allowed the product to shift around quite a bit in the box, and it looked as though someone had already begun to rip the packing tape off the box. The only reason I did not remove a star was because neither of the two organizers were damaged at all( thankfully!). If I were to buy these again, I would consider purchasing one from one of the home improvement stores in town that carries these. Knowing how they are packaged makes me worry about ordering ordering more and having to deal with returning damaged ones. It's easier for me to pay a couple dollars more and pick a good one out off the shelf.

I purchased one of the Stack-On Clear View 12-Bin Organizers to help me organize my workshop in my garage and I loved it so much that within a day I ordered myself a second one. Now about a month later, I am about to order a third one. These organizers are sturdy and are well constructed considering the low cost of the product. I was not expecting the quality of the plastic to be as high as it is. It is a nice surprise. The storage bins are of nice size for storage of nails, screws, bolts, electrical pieces. etc. and covered with a clear plastic lid that pulls over the each separate row of bins. It is easy to see through the clear plastic cover to see what you have. For the price, I would not have a clue where to find any equivalent that would beat this organizer. I would recommend this product without hesitation. As usual with Amazon, this product was delivered in the time frame that it was promised. Have a great day!!!!
