Samla storageAnonymous reviewerOver the years I have bought different Samla storage boxes for different circumstances these are to store camping equipment and and the great thing is you know the quality, you know they come with lids, you can see inside them, you know you can go back for more if you’ve underestimated the number you need -brilliant!5
Does what is says on the tinAnonymous reviewerGreat value box - my bathroom has never been tidier! 5
No lid absolute conAnonymous reviewerIts a bit deceptive to show a picture of a box with a lid but then sell it without a lid, costs 3 quid extra if you want a lid. Con artists. The listing should say box transparent WITHOUT LID. OR NO LID INCLUDED. 1
Lid a separate price????Anonymous reviewerThe amount I paid for this box, that’s all it is , a clear box, is over priced, container and lid… separate prices. Over priced1

Great itemAnonymous reviewerGreat item5
SamlaAnonymous reviewerSadly as nice and stackable these are, the lids are not the best. Better to spend more if you want a sealable lid. Fairly reasonable though.1
Box snapped on first useAnonymous reviewerI have purchased several of these boxes in the past and also recently. For my recent purchase the plastic snapped and split on first use. I’m really disappointed and I feel really ripped off as these are not cheap. It looks like the quality has deteriorated as they are really flimsy now. I won’t buy again but have no idea how to return the parcel online as I can’t go to the store to do this. Shocked with the low Ikea quality on this product. 1

Easy, Clear and Presentable Storage Solutions .Anonymous reviewerThe only problem I had with these, was finding all the sizes in stock at the same time.5
Perfect size for odd house itemsAnonymous reviewerI bought these for organising my hall cupboard. Perfect size for those odd house items, batteries, light bulbs, hooks etc. I like that you can clearly see what is in the box without having open it.5
GreatAnonymous reviewerJust what we needed for storing jotters in classroom5
Fantastic Storage BoxAnonymous reviewerA great box for keeping things in a shed or loft5
Better measurements on the website would be usefulAnonymous reviewerI was looking for a box to hold 50x70cm watercolour paper. Looking on the website, this box measured 78x57 so I set off to IKEA to pick a couple up. I was very disappointed ted to find that actually, the boxes internal dimensions are at least 10 centimetres smaller both in length and width, and that I had made a wasted journey. It would be really helpful to get the smallest internal measurement as well so it’s easier to gauge whether the contents we have to store will fit in the box.2
very useful.Anonymous reviewervery useful.5

Story

Our take on plastic

Plastic is a key material for IKEA and remains so going forward. It is strong, durable, lightweight and versatile. It is a main component in a large amount of our products and has a wide variety of applications from surface materials such as paint and foil, to screws and shelf pegs. There is a lot of valid concern regarding how plastic impacts the environment and at IKEA we take this very seriously. As part of our larger circular journey and transition from virgin fossil based material, we are working hard to change all plastic in our home furnishing products to plastic made from recycled and/or renewable raw materials.

Only recycled or renewable plastic

Plastic is most commonly derived from oil and gas, which are non-renewable fossil sources. These sources do not renew themselves and will eventually be depleted. Our ambition is that by 2030, all plastic used in our products will be based on renewable or recycled materials. Renewable plastic is made from materials such as vegetable oil, corn, wheat grain and sugar cane. Recycled plastic allows us to give a second life to non-biodegradable products such as PET bottles that would otherwise end up in landfill. Using recyclable sources also lessens our dependency on oil as a raw material. Currently more than 40% of our plastic products are based on recycled and renewable materials and our aim is to reach 100%. As we add products made from recycled and renewable materials to our offer, we hope to inspire other companies to do the same.

Phasing out single-use plastic

Single-use plastic items pollute ecosystems if not disposed of responsibly. As part of our commitment to people and the planet, all single-use plastic products from the global home furnishing range were phased out in 2020. This includes items such as plates, cups and plastic straws offered in our restaurants, bistros, and cafes. These were replaced by disposables made from 100% renewable sources.

PET and PP, our most commonly used plastics

Polythylene terephthalate (PET) and Polypropylene (PP) are durable, hygienic and shatter-resistant plastics. They absorb very little water and have good chemical resistance. Both PET and PP can be reused and recycled, which reduces waste and gives the product several lives through use and reuse. PET is the most recycled plastic in the world and can be used for many different purposes such as plastic bottles and containers for packaging food and beverages as well as for personal care products, pharmaceuticals and many other consumer products. At IKEA we mainly use recycled PET in boxes, filling material for textiles and kitchen front foil. PET is approved by health-agencies as safe to use for food and beverage. IKEA uses recycled PET that is post-consumer based, which means it is based on collected and sorted PET bottles.

Clean and safe

IKEA takes product safety very seriously and all products are tested and comply with the strictest possible laws and safety standards on all IKEA markets. Customers should always feel confident that products bought at IKEA are safe and healthy to use. IKEA wants to minimize or totally refrain from the use of chemicals and substances that can be harmful to people and the environment.

Together, we can do more

Our journey towards only using recycled or renewable plastic will take some time and require new ways of doing things, but we are determined to take responsibility and find new solutions. We want to give our customers the possibility to choose products made from more sustainable materials that can be recycled again one day. Together, we can make a big difference!

Function solution

Hard to get apart?

When SAMLA boxes are stacked on top of one another a vacuum of air forms, which can make it hard to separate them. Just push or pull the long sides of the box lightly as illustrated above. This lets in a little air and makes it easy to separate the boxes.
