Works great for game tokens and resources—particularly like the deeper lid making it easy to have two resource piles at each end of the table. I also have kids who are into Legos—these work really well to organize the smaller pieces and scoop them up using the curved edge. I’m sure these have saved more than a few pieces from becoming lost to the vaccuum cleaner.

Honestly, these aren't terrible. If you're already ordering from here and don't have anything like these, pick some up. The problem is that the plastic bins made by Stonemaier Games are better, even if one out of ten of the Stonemaier ones are usually bent. The odd flange around the edge and the strange way the lid closes on make these awkward to store in a box. They do come apart easier than the Stonemaier variety, but they're taller and take up more space to hold the same volume of components. Ordered a few to compare, I'll stick with Stonemaier.

The Zen Bins are perfect for gaming......and LOTS of other things around the house. They are even less bulky in the game boxes than the small containers I purchased at the office supply store. The fact that the lids double as a bits tray just make them even more useful. I love dice games and I don't have to worry about stacking the dice in a rectangle container. Just throw them in and you're good to go. In my opinion, the Zen Bins are a lot more durable than I expected because of the low price. I have other hobbies beside gaming and I use Zen Bins for other small parts as well. They're sturdy, stackable, and double as trays. What more could you ask for? Thanks go out to the designer for creating such cool item!

I received one as a free gift. It arrived cracked/dented and I could not bend it back into usable form. I threw it away. I'm glad I didn't pay for it. The storage/organization idea behind it may be OK, however the quality seems poor. They seem to be intended for dice & bits. For dice, I use dice bags or baggies. For bits, I use baggies or small storage boxes. In either case I would not replace what I use now for this storage solution.

These things are great to keep bits organized in the box and during play. Just keep in mind that these will not fit into smaller game boxes. I keep two of these in my Pandemic box to use as trays. But the bits are bagged because these bins, closed, do not fit in the box. However, boxes like Clank fit these no problem. The quality is great. Do not hesitate to get a few of these if you are only a few dollars away from reaching that 99 dollar total.

It's a great idea. Unfortunately, when closed, the lid is far too tall. Because it's twice as large as it needs to be, it really doesn't save any space for storage and organization in a game box. If they made them again with a similar price at half the height, I'd buy quite a few more. As is, it's only good as a temporary token tray while playing. I had high hopes, but would not recommend.

This thing oddly pops up meaning it takes more space to store whatever you put in than what's needed. Might as well use a bag

These are great! instead of using a baggy you can use this to store your pieces, and the real perk is that they double as TWO trays that handily store your game pieces during game play instead of having them scattered all over the table! the lid snaps onto the tray fine, but my only complaint is that when the lid is on, you cannot snap multiple trays together. they "fit" together if you stack them but they don't snap together.
