This product looks great and has convenient handles to access from any direction, - and even a plastic pocket in front for labeling contents. I would recommend it for long-term storage. It has two drawbacks, for which reasons I will not be buying again. First, it attracts lint and hair like crazy. Especially if you get the black one and keep it under the bed, (and have a pet) it could get pretty shabby looking pretty quickly. Second, the lid has a lip which may be a plus since it keeps out dust and helps it to keep its form. However, it requires that you go from back to front with your finger to smooth it out and get it to fit properly over the edge. If you over stuff it, this may be difficult to do. Also, not really stackable. I suppose you can, but will not hold up in a tidy-looking fashion since the sides are stiffened but not very strong. This may seem like nit-picking, but, if you are looking for something to use and access often, quickly and conveniently, depending on your patience level, this could get pretty annoying pretty quickly. Not for everyone.
