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

My first order arrived without one of the compartment covers. Amazon quickly sent a replacement without any fuss or worry.This is such a great item and I am pleased I found and purchased it. It holds all of our little screws, anchors, hooks, picture hangers, electrical tape and odds and ends people collect after owning a home for 10 years that used to be all mixed up in a cabinet or drawers. Now they are all divided into their own spaces, easily found and organized. The holes in the back made it simple to hang on the wall, freeing up the previous cabinet space.The compartment covers are easy to use with one hand, but wouldn't be as easy if it wasn't mounted. Trying to close or open with one hand might cause it to tip if just freestanding. Other than that, this is wonderful and has a ton of uses.

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.

These bins are a good value for the money, especially now that they have dropped in price to under ten dollars. They are heavy duty plastic, and will hold boxes full of bolts, nails, screws, washers, etc. without a problem. You cannot fill them up completely (because the opening faces out), but you can put a lot of heavy-ish stuff in them. The flippable covers on my unit work fine, and are easy to open and to leave latched open. Note that the covers are one piece for a row of three bins - you can't open the cover to just a single bin. It's easy to attach to a wall, but works better with something supporting it underneath if it will hold anything but feathers and yarn.

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.

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.
