Abstract: A collapsible storage container has a rectangular support base with a horizontal floor and upwardly projecting skirting walls, each wall being a different height above the floor, a pair of end wall panels, a pair of side wall panels, and a lid panel. Each of the wall panels is pivotably supported for inward folding movement about a horizontal axis with the horizontal axes of the wall panels being spaced at different distances from the floor, cooresponding to the height of the associated skirting wall. The panels can be folded approximately flat, one on top of the other in overlying relationship. A spring loaded latching mechanism locks adjacent panels together near their upper adjacent corners.
