Bins with side access

[Gracemom]

Has anyone tried these bins? http://www.rubbermaid.com/Category/P...od_ID=RP092094
I was daydreaming yesterday about inventing a storage bin that is more functional, where you can see the contents and open the side to get the contents out. That product has already been invented! They are a bit pricey but if they work well they will be exactly what I need.

i saw these at target at christmas time. they did seem more functional, but i didn't pick any up. i guess i'd worry that the side would break somehow and the contents would spill out? i don't know, not all storage bins are super durable (i've had cracked lids before...if the side should crack that would be AWFUL) and they are really pricey!

I checked them out at Target yesterday. I would use them for my own stuff, but I don't think the pull down door is sturdy enough for kids to use without breaking. It was flimsier than I would like, especially for the price. They were $12.99 for one bin here.
