Really Useful 9 Litre Clear Plastic Storage Box

Strong, robust, transparent plastic boxs which when filled with up to 5 really useful hobby trays and either the 9 litre or 9 litre xl lids make superb gaming miniature storage containers for a fraction of the price of other storage solutions. From the RUB web site you can get extra accessories: hobby trays and xl lids for around £ 2.50 each, the boxes will hold up to 5 trays each of which have 15 compartments for a total of 75 compartments. I collect the Dungeons & Dragons sets, the early sets had 72 figures and the later ones had 60, the last few sets only had 40! However, the compartments are suitable for quite a few 28mm figures each but trouble occurs when you have large monster sculptures such as dragons, giants and demons. The trays do not lay flat. Solution? Use an xl lid - I found the 19 litre lid fits the 9 litre box which allows you to either add an extra tray layer or leave it for space for the bigger figures to stand up. If you buy a 9 litre box and 4 hobby trays and an xl lid you get a box to store a complete set of D&D figures for around £17 to £20! Stick a label on each end and a checklist for the set on top and you have the perfect storage solution for your gaming miniatures, you'll save around £20 at least (foam will be extra). I also print out numbers to line each compartment so you can keep tabs on what miniature goes where. One last thing if you turn the fifth tray upside down you can have tall miniatures and smaller figures on the fourth tray and they won't get mixed up whilst being transported as the upside tray forms an enclosed box whilst inside the box and lid. Sorted!

Sturdy and stackable. The handles clip over the lid to keep it closed.

These boxes have revolutionised my storage requirements. Due to their aesthetically pleasing exterior and superior build quality they have slotting right in to my life much like they slot on top of each other when stacking. The translucent material allows me to quickly identify the contents of the box without having to go through all that effort of opening each box... this saves me both time and effort and time. A word of warning though. These boxes may not be suitable for storing whips, chains, bondage outfits or dildos if you want to keep them hidden from visiting eyes, however if you wish to scare your guests, these boxes might be perfect. Maybe put one full of porn on your dresser at your next dinner party and watch the growing discomfort work its way through the awkward aura you have created while obliviously scoffing down your Viennese Whirl.Another way to use this box would be to catch the abnormally large spiders that are invading UK homes this year (2014) and place them all in this box with a series of miniature weapons made out of tinfoil and have a fight to the death... maybe chuck in a few wasps and ants and watch your mini apocalypse unfold.

As indicated in the headline; if you put the lid on it has six sides; three sets of two parallels. If you take the lid off, it changes and suddenly you are left with only five sides, of which only two sets are parallel pairs; it's almost magic, and it is hours of fun!Something I discovered by accident which was an unexpected bonus: When I was playing around with it, I accidentally dropped a pen into it. This gave me an idea, and before long I had managed to clean up a cupboard of cables and contain them within the box. This suddenly made the cupboard much more tidy, and now enables me to easily move the cables about. The only downside is that when I want to play with the box, I now have to pour out all the cables, but its fairly easy, and is an okay compromise for the added bonus as a tidying up device.I might put a video clip up on YouTube on how I did this!

After we were assigned lockers when our company reconfigured our office to hot desking, I need some small boxes to keep my stuff in.Whilst not cheap, these boxes, fit and do the trick...but you need to measure carefully to ensure that they correctly fit any tight spaces.

I don't know how I coped before I started buying the Really Useful line of storage containers.From mini-sized for hobbies, (and little other little bits) to underbed storage - at last I have an idea where most of my things are. I couldn't maintain a household without them!Most customers who provide a review only have really good things to say about the difference these wonderful containers make to easing up one of the most serious household issues we all have, and that is practical storage for our everyday and not-so-everyday items.I highly recommend these containers. They will surely help you organise your life - they even include wonderful little sheets in each container, listing the sizes available to help you plan your requirements.I have only one desire regarding these containers - it would be so great if there was an area on the outside of each container - top of the lid, each end, and each side - that would hold a label insert/frame/slot large enough for really easy contents identification. I don't like using sticky labels as they would leave sticky residue on the container that would accumulate dirt! . That would mean a design change I know, but it would sure be really, really handy!

These Really Useful boxes are, well, really useful. They are well designed and built and can carry quite significant weights without bowing. They stack reliably and safely and the clip-handle mechanism is simple and works well. Over the years, I've bought around twenty of them in various sizes. They're all still in use and look more or less brand new, despite having been less than carefully handled. That makes them excellent value!

I ordered these so that I could tidy up my various writing projects. The boxes are just larger than A4 but about the height of two reams of A4. I have lots of A4-size sheets of notes, newspaper cuttings, etc. It's great that these boxes stack up and so take up less floor space!These arrived in good time and in good condition. As my order was over £25 I also got free shipping to Ireland, so all in all great value!
