When I received this item and opened the box I was a little confused because there were no instructions included. I left it on the living room floor for a day until my spouse could figure out what to do with it. Once he figured it out and we got it together it was much larger than I thought it would be. It has six separate compartments that snap together to make one large unit or you can personalize it and make it several smaller units. This will sit nicely on a desktop or workbench or it includes wall mounting materials. Great also for a kids room, they can separate their toys (for Polly's or Lego's~). ******UPDATE: After owning this for a few months we've found it impossible to use and have since thrown it away. DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS ITEM.

First, let me say one thing. These bins arrived nestled tightly together in their shipping box, and I had a bingo of a time separating them. The trick is to pull on the plastic side of a bin and it will flex without breaking, thus allowing you to remove the nested bin. Pull diagonally up & out. It's not easy but it works, trust me.This false start didn't color my evaluation because in all honesty, the "Storability stacking, hanging interlocking plastic bins" were disappointing in their own right. Maybe it's just me, but I assumed based on the product photos that these might *slide* like drawers. They don't. So while the company's claim that the bins stay locked together is certainly accurate, I am less convinced of the usefulness of the stacked bins in practice. After all, unless you are planning to fill an entire bin with the same item (for example, a bulk load of the same size screw, or Cheerios, perhaps), you are forced to snake your hand in there and fish around, sight unseen, for what you want. In other words, there is not a lot of visibility to see what is in any of the drawers other than the top one, nor is there much space to reach in your hand to any of the drawers (again, other than the top drawer), much less pull it out with your prize. This presents a real problem for men with large hands or for anyone who uses these bins to store even moderately sharp objects, like gardening tools as the manufacturer suggests.My own solution has been to use these bins independently: one bin on my workbench to catch loose nuts and bolts, another bin on the shelving unit nearby to hold packs of batteries, and so on. I may use the remaining bins in pairs of two, if I can justify filling the bottom ones with enough of the same content. Failing that, I might put another one in the laundry room and a couple in the garage. At the very least, these should be good catch-alls for small, somewhat thematically-grouped items. This has the added benefit of being able to store more tall items (like cans of spray paint). I understand that my planned usage defeats the advertised purpose, but honestly, I don't think the manufacturer asked enough potential customers to try these. This is a Vine review, and I *am* trying it now in all fairness, but at this point the product is already on the market.The bins are very easy to slide and lock together, but decidedly less easy to separate. I would certainly not wish to attempt to do so with full bins whose contents may spill out. The manufacturer touts the stability of the bins: "They will not fall apart and collapse when placing items into the bins or removing items from the bins." This begs the question: How violent and clumsy are some people when placing items into or removing items from bins?I am reviewing the Large size, and each bin offers just under 10 inches by 10 inches square of usable storage space. There is 4-3/4 inches of height, but that measurement is deceiving, because each opening when stacked is actually less than three inches. That means any large item would need to be creatively turned in hand to remove.Good color, at least for garage workshops and laundry rooms. Good strength; the advertised hanging load capacity is 35 pounds per bin. Made in China. There are some plastic burrs from the manufacturing process which are somewhat sharp but easily sanded away.I have not attempted to hang these bins, although a pack of wall mounting hardware was included. I think I might be more inclined to purchase some separate for mounting on a pegboard.Triton graciously sent me a pack of dividers. (Somewhat surprisingly, dividers are not normally supplied with the bins.) While the dividers can be placed in any of three configurations, they are not nearly as locked into place as the bins themselves. Assuming you use these bins as intended (i.e., stacked), the dividers will be held in place adequately. However I might suggest not using a divider in the top bin because it can be easily dislodged. In any case my preferred configuration is either one divider in the middle guides or two dividers on the far outer guides, although the latter configuration would obviously deplete your supply much quicker. (The dividers come in packs of six.)Each bin is fronted by a 4" x 1-3/4" area for labeling, however no card stock was provided for this purpose. Nor were any assembly instructions of any kind included. I would hope that this is not the case for a non-Vine supplied order.In summary, this is a new product for which I believe the manufacturer is experiencing some teething problems. No instructions, no labels, no dividers included, and questionable efficiency for the stated use. When the bins are stacked, it is difficult to see, much less remove, the contents. Even the name of the product has an identity crisis; it would seem the manufacturer is still on the fence about branding. The accompanying parts list clearly identifies these as LocBins, as does Triton's own Web site. However the parts themselves self-identify only as "Storability (TM) By Triton Products"; nor does the Amazon listing mention the LocBin name at all. Even the "From the Manufacturer" Product Descriptions for the and referenced above are switched!Jason Kirkfield, Vine Review, May 18, 2011

Not unless the hanger plate was made of metal AND instead of Moly bolts, I used Toggle bolts and set the bolts inside the metal wall studs. Because rating the hanging capacity of THREE of these units (not-lightweight by themselves) at 35 pounds is not realistic. Not unless you were putting tissue paper, or very lightweight items into those trays.When these first arrived in their carton, they were stacked for storage and were sliding, one atop the other. I had a VERY hard time taking them apart. Another reviewer here said you could pull them out - I was able to -- but ONLY after I used a flat-blade screwdriver as a wedge under the trays' first pair of detents - only then was I able to slide each tray out and then snap them together. Once they are snapped together, they ARE a very sturdy unit.Someone mentioned dividers -- no dividers came with my trays -- even if there were, I could only use a divider on the top tray, because reaching into the bottom 2 trays with dividers and trying to retrieve something at the back of the tray, especially with a big hand, would be a real challenge. Anyway, I can jerry-rig a divider if I needed one, or order them from the Triton website.The tray is also good for use in corrosive enviroments, says Triton. So..... is that why they have such a slick surface? The slickness of the tray's surface makes it very hard to get a good grip on it -- if not held hard enough it will slip right out of your hands.I'm using mine as a 3-tray set (2 sets) -- to sit on my art table, and hold tubes of acrylic paints. This setup works just fine -- I can see what I have and the generous sized label holders (no label cards were provided) will make it easy to identify the contents of each tray.These trays would be great for tools and/or fasteners or for color coded items, or stationery, or small parts -- the possibilities are endless. But keep in mind that dividers would make the contents of these inner trays much harder to get to.I ALSO wonder if there are some plastic parts that, once put into these trays would (like some lures in a plastic tacklebox) "melt" into the tray's plastic...Anyone know????

Sturdy, holds a lot of weight when installed properly. More than I hoped for.

First the positive:These plastic bins are great for screws, nails, etc.They are large enough to hold a lot and the opening is wide enough to reach your hand in. The top bin is almost like a shelf, so it is especially easy to get to things.Mine are in yellow, which is a good contrast for dark items.They are really tough and well made.The wall hanger is great: It took me about 2 minutes to hang one of them. (In fact, it took me longer to find my level...)The top bin clips onto the hanger firmly and securely, but then is easy to remove. The other bins hang below it without any need for support or attachment to the wall.The bins can be used separately, in pairs, or in larger quantities. I have mine hanging from the wall in threes.They are easy to take down and move to another area if you need to and the hanger is flat on the wall so it wouldn't get in the way while you have the bins somewhere else.They are easy to slide together and hard to slide apart, which is what you want in this kind of configuration.Then the negative:If you put dividers in, your hand-reach opening has been reduced a lot.They are kind of pricey for plastic bins (If you get them, though, they will last essentially forever.)For me, they are fine in the workshop. However, they are just the wrong size and shape for my office. The same front lip that keeps things in place is just the wrong size for paper, so 8.5X11 paper would be bent. If you put in pens, etc., the bins are too large for a few, but the dividers would get in the way of reaching for stuff. A crafter might be able to use them, depending the tools and parts that they are using.While they hold a lot of things in the workshop well (screws, nails, small tools), there is a limit to the size and shape you can put it. It means that there are a lot of tools, etc., that will still have to find another home. Boxes of screws or nails would be handier on a shelf.There may be times that I will take the bins elsewhere to work with, but not often, since they are so large and will hold so many different items. Taking one bin at a time would be a bit of a hassle if they are filled, since they are attached well to each other. (Which is Good news/Bad news.)
