Storage container

Abstract

A storage container for a refrigerator includes a first storage box and a second storage box. The first storage box includes a first bottom wall and a first peripheral wall surrounding the first bottom wall. The first bottom wall and the first peripheral wall cooperatively define a first storage space. The second storage box includes a second bottom wall and a second peripheral wall surrounding the second bottom wall. The second bottom wall and the second peripheral wall cooperatively define a second storage space. The second bottom wall is formed by an extended portion of the first peripheral wall.
