milk crate
Stackable plastic box
A milk crate is a sturdy plastic or metal container with an open grid structure, originally designed for transporting milk bottles.
The square shape, handles, and durability have made milk crates useful for storage, makeshift furniture, and carrying records: We used milk crates as bookshelves in college.
They're associated with improvised solutions and DIY culture.
