If you have multiple bins without lids, do they stack or does one sit inside of the other?

They sit inside of each other, however about 1 1/2 or 2 inches does remain exposed of each tote when stacked

No, you have to stack them on top of each other so it does take up a bit more cupboard space.

Yes they will stack but you lose about 1/2 of the space as they sit down inside each other. I doubt you could stack too many as they would topple.

Yes the containers stack. The handle folds down into the lid so that the top is flat.

I have the three bins. I love it, but they are rather deep actually. You could store a lot, so it depends on your needs. We store toys in them.

The containers are stackable ONLY WHEN EMPTY. See my review posted today. The company told me directly the containers are not designed to be stacked when full. I found out the hard way - when I stacked them, the ones on the bottom bulged and cracked.

No - in our case it fits into a holder and rolls out when we pull it out - put trash or recyclables into it and close it. So it works fine for us without a lid.

The containers nest if the covers are more or less setting on top of their respective containers (they don't need to be snapped on) and the containers would nest if the lids are stored separately.

The bins are different sizes. I found that they are deep enough to fit toys etc., there are some that are long and shallow.I was still able to store toys (cars)...I'm sorry I can't be more specific but I'm not home to measure each bin. I can say that the unit is great! It goes well with the rest of our furniture and it's well made.

No, they won't nest. They will sort of stack, but I keep mine in use enough that it hasn't really been an issue.

Yes, they stack with lids on. I store them that way in cabinet, frig, and freezer. I have oodles of them (over 25), and use them daily. I put them in the micro, from the freezer, with the lid ajar.

If you mean by "next" to put them inside each other with the lids on, then no. But you can stack them inside each other with the lids off-- have to put the lids in a separate space. They are somewhat fragile bowls so they need to be handled with care.

Hi Barbara I tried to send you a picture thru this link but could not. If you want to see a picture of my stack email me at donnameece@aol.com. But the lids are pretty sturdy. If your boxes will be completely full you will have no problem stacking them as long as they are against something sturdy like wall or back of cabinet. Enjoy!

The lids stack when empty. They do not stack when in use e.g. When on top of the bottom bowl part. They are not level enough or designed to stay stacked on on each other well. They do have some flex.

You can probably stack them, but be sure to put lighter items in top unit. Better idea, if you have to space is to put back-to-back or side by side to create a work space or shelf on top. Love all of my Sterilite items. Easy to put together and sturdy. Helped me organize my garage!

There are grooves in the containers so that they do stack. Just keep in mind that the containers will be fairly heavy once the 12 individual boxes are filled with photos. I don't know how much weight you would want to put on the larger box. I think stacking one on top of the other would be OK, more than that might be a problem.
