Square, Round, or in a Set: Which Plastic Storage Containers Are Worth Buying and Which Are Not

Containers made of plastic can be used to store needlework supplies, underwear, socks and other clothing, shoes, various household items and other necessary things.

However, not all of them are equally well suited for the task in question.

For example, the shape of the containers is important. It is believed that square and rectangular ones are better than round and oval ones.

Why? The answer is simple: the racks and shelves in the cabinets where you will place those containers have right angles, which means that they will be pushed close to the corners and walls.

If you choose rounded shapes, a few, even if only a few, centimeters of useful space will be lost.

Moreover, such unused spaces quickly become covered with dust – do you need it?

The containers from the set are not the best choice either. Remember: the best choice is items that can be placed on top of each other (like a pyramid) or close to each other (like a train) without gaps.

Since the set is presented in containers of different sizes, difficulties will inevitably arise when assembling them.
