This ArtBin is half the height of the regular ones I purchased. I also have the 'cube' that holds the bins in one convenient place.  This small bin has compartments that can be adjusted to fit various notions and equipment. One feature that I really like are the snapping closures. Keeps the bin securely shut, and also the handle so you can carry it from place to place.  In addition it slides neatly into the cube for storage. Because they are translucent you can see what is inside, like threads.  The one drawback is when you want to open them you need to completely remove them from the cube, and if the lid is not shut---well you can guess.
