So i bought a bunch of these because they always go on sale. I had the brand from Sams. I ended up getting very annoyed with how the lid dips down because i was constantly filling the boxes poorly and ended up getting rid of them all and going with something else.
I do think the lid design is purposeful to avoid crushing items in boxes below when stacking however I dont have issues with the other ones I went with and generally dont pack very heavy items.
Just throwing it out there incase someone was about to go all in on it. Fit your use case.

What do you mean by dip down? That they are flimsy and bend down under weight or the design of the lid is recessed into the bin and is a problem if you fill to the top?

I'm not the original commenter, but we do sometimes have an issue with the latter. You think you're all set but go to put on the lid and it doesn't snap in because it's ' just ' too full. We just ended up getting a bunch for xmas decorations and fill them more efficiently.

I dont really have a picture, however if you look at the lid notice how the entire middle dips down. My issue is that I always filled to the top of the bucket but you need to account for the fact the entire of the lid is recessed.
Its maybe not a huge deal, but i'd frequently try to account for this only to have one item that sits a little too high so the lid doesnt fit in. I find it easier to just fill boxes to the brim and have a mostly flat lid that will fit right on top. I dont pack heavy items though. These cases are definitly more sturdy than others out there.
