I didn't go for these. I did feel that one selling point was really not applicable; when they are not in use, they can be folded down into the lid. Well, if they are being used for storage, which is the prime use for them, to keep toys, magazines, craft items et al in, they are not going to be in use for a couple of hours, rather the items will be housed in the cube permanently. Just another needless 'feature', added to the design of the product, to add to the 'desire to buy' aspect of the item.
