How customer reviews and ratings work

Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings, help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyses reviews to verify trustworthiness.

Smaller than I had expected and fairly durable, but that depends on the products you put in it. One of the lids cracked - and takes a bit of fiddle to get the lids right. They are great for storing make-up, small products etc. I'd probably buy them again if I needed ones this size again.

1.0 out of 5 starsAbsolute Rubbish!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 7 August 2020
I've never before had such a low-quality item from any Amazon seller, and certainly won't be trying any more "Amazon Basics". I bought much stronger and sturdier storage boxes from Poundland recently. These bend and creak, the lids don't fit, and the whole impression is of something that won't last. They definitely aren't any kind of bargain. I'd send them back if I didn't need them NOW, and will be going back to Poundland ASAP.

Mrs Michelle J Rabbage
1.0 out of 5 stars Inaccurate description
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 15 February 2019
Size Name: 5 storageVerified Purchase
Bought these as I'm redesigning my craft room and wanted a variety of box sizes that would stack and see what's inside. Sizes are way out. The small one is approximately 1.5 litre not 5 litre and measures 18.5x16x8.5cm. the medium one is 33x19x10cm, the largest is 40x34x17cm (all wxdxh). I would have ordered more of the medium and large sizes but the descriptions may also be incorrect.
On The plus side I do have a use for what I have received.

1.0 out of 5 stars Convenient dimensions for a fridge but very cheap plastic and construction
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 3 June 2021
Size Name: 4 storage boxesVerified Purchase
Convenient size and dimensions for a fridge or freezer but the plastic is very cheap, like a Chinese takeaway box, and does not seal very well. Overpriced.

I would not buy from a basics line anywhere else but I was confident that items sourced through Amazon would be as described and suitable for purpose. I was right to be confident these storage boxes are great!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 4 July 2019

Not exactly thick plastic bit flimsy and I don't think worth £14 for 4..
But if you are not going to be rough with them they are clean practical containers decent enough quality but definitely not heavy-duty
