You can get them at the Container Store:

them "upside down" to make it work?  Ie: are the latches, etc in a position they
could be used upside down?

Also - if you did use them upside down, how much height could you get out of
them before things started getting too tight as the sides narrow?


Thanks for the info - it would be great if it would work out for the green 32x32
also.
