one of the lid's o-ring was not installed correctly. otherwise they worked great

The product arrived promptly, and it was easy to get the 5 buckets and lids paired up. The buckets are stackable once you close them, so storage is easy. I use a couple of them in the garage to store salt for my driveway, and so far it has been a good solution: the buckets are sturdy and the lids are water-tight even without sealing them completely. I also plan on using a couple of them to store grass seed so that I don't have to worry about rodents and other pests getting to partially opened and used plastic bags. The buckets do come with instructions on how to use a mallet to seal the buckets with the lids (after which you have to cut off a tamper-proof seal in the lid to get the lid off again).

When I went to use them, I realized one lid was missing.

When we realized just how much excess honey our backyard hives produced this year, we needed five-gallon buckets, and we needed them in a hurry. These bucket got to our place in good time to use for collecting and storing the honey, and they are exactly as advertised. Good experience with this seller.

Bought these for my nieces cheer team to store their pompoms and other cheer things in for easy transport. They also used them to sit on top while sidelined at games.

seems likely to be durable for my garden uses

Just what was need to clean up in Gross anatomy course durable and dependable product

These are great buckets. However I have since discovered much cheaper buckets at ULine, and you can order as many as you'd like, with bulk discounts. The ULine buckets are a bit taller as well, so you can actually fit 6 gallons. I use the ULine buckets for fermenters, and these buckets for dispensers. After racking, you lose a bit of volume.

Just as described.

Very good product. Set with Green Gamma lids for very effective storage
