Here is a pic of the damaged "hinges" on the main container.

And because of the size of the containers and the box they have to rest in the box on their sides.

So after an excursion to Wally World I came back with two options.

Option #1 are just about the same size as the current containers but quite a bit sturdier.

Option #2 appears to hold about the same about as 2 of the Option #1's, but Option #2 was a hell of alot studier. I stood on Option #2 with both feet and it barely flexed! I'm 6'6" & 280lbs. The only problem with Option #2 is that it isn't air tight like Option #1 is. But I have some foam weatherstripping that is supposed prevent humidity loss that I can put around the lip of the container.

If we go with Option #1 I will get a different/bigger box because it is a tight, tight fit with both of them in there. If we go with Option #2 the current box will work fine.

Thoughts and opinons?
