You will have to see it to evaluate it, but trust us on this one: a one metre crate is a HUGE storage solution. There are certain items breakable at length, which require that much extra care. The one metre lidded crate offers just that, plus the added benefit of safe storage. It comes with integrated lids, which ensure that nothing gets in or out without your help. As far as placement is concerned, these crates can be stacked one over the other or nested when empty. The best security option for your items!
