I'd like to use this for beads storage. Do the lids close tightly so contents won't move around from one compartment to the next?

Marvelous for this purpose - I use it for my jewelry supplies and am very happy with it.

I think it will depend on how small the beads are and if you keep it upright. The lid closes tightly, but there is a very small gap between the top of the section dividers and the lid. I store small items like tips and small peep sights in it and they stay separated and in their compartments without any problems. I don't think you would have problems with even very small beads unless you turned it upside down.

The lid does not fit tightly no. There is no rubber gauging, or anything else that would make it at all airtight. I use mine to store candies on my desk, and while it would work just fine for cookies you expected to be consumed in a day or two, I wouldn't use it for anything beyond display purposes. (Though, throwing a piece of yeasted bread in there with your cookies will help un-stale cookies, if you don't already know that trick.)

No. Since the containers are sideways when magnetized to something, you have to lift the lid off every time.

Big beads yes. Not the super tiny ones. It's not a total tight seal. Some of my small bluegill hooks will slide in to different compartment. On top and bottom of the partitions.

Would be good for beads. It is quite a lot of storage. Compartments don't come out but size of most of them can be changed. The bottom layer (orange one) is quite deep (2") so might be hard to reach the beads or see the colors in those compartments.

It works great for beads. They dont intermingle at all. They stay in their compartment

Hi Rodney, I have this item and really like it. I have it packed away right now or I would try out the smaller pint size mason jars to let you know. It will hold normal size mason jars in the center compartments only. The compartments on the edges are to small to fit a normal mason jar. The pint size are smaller in diameter so they might fit, but this little bucket seems a bit deep to drop those pint size jars in the slots. Maybe someone else can give you a better answer.

No, Andrea, the lids are not lined. Honestly, the baskets are good for storage of things frequently used - like, as I wrote, I use them to store leashes, collars, etc. for the dogs in one basket; sweaters, coats, and rain jackets in the other - again, for the dogs, and they are all small, so there is plenty of room; in the other, I store all the dog toys, and keep the lid open so they can just grab whatever they want. I gave the last basket to my daughter, who also has very small dogs, and she keeps their toys in their basket as well. It is easy for us to just slip the lining out to be washed when needed, and a lining on the top is unneeded according to the way we use them. Hope this helped! No, Andrea, the lids are not lined.

They are quarter sized, and no they do not shut tightly. Maybe a centimeter deep, and half full

The largest container's lid closes tightly on our set, as secure as the smaller containers. I just got off my lazy butt and double-checked. So I'd say you have a legitimate complaint. BTW, we love our set. We love how it stacks together so slimly, and would heartily recommend it to others - as long as the lid to the largest container fit as well as our does.

No the lid does not fit tightly at all -and the picture shows three but when ordered you receive one.i purchased three and own four.i found if you put plastic suran wrap between jar and lid it keeps things fresh, I store my brown sugars in it that way works and there is no clumping or hardening so far and its been weeks.hope this helps until anchor hocking fixes the problem.

No, the individual boxes are very small. I got this to store small perler beads and it's almost too small for those. The locking mechanism is nice but the containers are just too small.

I would say No...I tested it with the Ronzoni brand in my cabinet. There were short enough but they were too wide. Other brands may be narrower, but I still don't believe this to be an ideal storage container.

I use it for my computer components and I store several size washers in the unit. They do not slip at all. Just when you close the lid and lock it shut, push down on the center of the lid itself make sure it is fully closed..sometimes due to the amount of the inner compartments moving in and out they maybe slightly off when lining up with the lid grooves. I will be purchasing another one soon. It's very sturdy as well

The openings are too small for the jars to slip through. That is the reason I bought them. I bought two because I can stack them when using the squat little jars. They work perfectly!

I didn't have any problem with the lids not staying on. I ran my finger and thumb around the lid's edge and onto the container and it snapped into place. Hope that's helpful.

They don't actually snap closed, but I know what you are talking about. I ordered 2 sets (4 containers, and one of the containers is defective. I tried all the lids plus some that I already had, and the one bottom would not seal with any of the tops. All 4 of the tops worked my bottoms including my older ones. I have been so busy that I haven't contacted the vendor to see if I can get a replacement. Guess I need to do that. I really love them, and already had 4 when I ordered these 4. I like that they will stack about 3 high in a small space in my fridge, and I have kept Romaine Lettuce leaves fresh for 4 weeks in one.
