When it comes to spring cleaning (or just organizing your home in general), containers will be your best friend. They’ll keep everything consolidated and tidy while storing in your attic, basement or storage unit and will make a massive difference between a heap of mismatched cardboard boxes and sleek plastic bins.
When it comes to storage containers there are two types to choose from: the ones that are designed to be beautiful and organizational (usually smaller and being showed off in your pantry or bathroom) and the ones that are meant for durability and functionality (likely larger with a lid and stored away in your attic or garage).
While we have an entire edit filled with fridge organizers to achieve a Kardashian-style fridge, this isn’t that type of article. Ahead find a variety of tubes to store your extra bedding, seasonal clothing, extra tech items, Christmas decorations — or really anything and everything you may need them for.
With size, capacity, material, and price in mind, we rounded up the 10 best storage containers, based on Amazon reviews.

For the large, heavy-duty container with handles that you need to stand the test of time, rain and grime — go for this Rubbermaid Brute 20 gallon pick. They stack well and are ideal for attics, basements and garages where abuse may be more apparent since they’re made with high-density polyethylene (HDPE), a sturdier and more temperature-resistant plastic than other options on the market.
