6. Storage Bins Made of Plastic
Ends in: Five to Ten Years
Cost on average: $5–$40*
Storage containers made of plastic might not last as long as you think. Despite their seemingly unbreakable and timeless appearance, these useful containers only last five to ten years. Plastic can deteriorate over time, especially if it is exposed to sunlight and different temperatures, which can cause cracks and brittleness.
