Highlighted Reviews
"Sure the lid ran into issues upon impact. I put the thing directly on the ground and kept the container directly on the ground, thus it doesn't happen again. Really easy opening and closing."
"I moved the bin across the garage and it hit a crack in the floor and two of the wheels blew out the plastic slots. Also together contents caused the bin to bulge and then the lid didn’t fit right"
Bottom Line
While the IRIS container is functional and sized well, the frequent durability issues and poor customer service make it a risky purchase for some. Consider a more premium option for a longer-lasting solution.
