Adjustable storage bin

Abstract

Adjustable storage bins include a bin portion, at least one long wall, and at least one short wall. The adjustable storage bins can include a plurality of long walls and a plurality of short walls. The long and short walls are each removably connected within the adjustable storage bin. At least one short wall or at least one long wall, or both, can be telescoping walls. Telescoping walls have a length that can be adjusted, such as by being increased or decreased. Accordingly, the long walls and short walls can be arranged and rearranged within the interior of the adjustable storage bins to provide interior compartments having a variety of alternative sizes and shapes.
