Puzzle Description:

Stackable storage bin.

Thanks for your entry, but sorry I don't see it.

Jota, d'oh! This was surprisingly hard to make, too. I personally like all the puzzles I create to have at least one black and one white square in every row and column, and that was a challenge with this one. So it's taller and narrower than my model:

I'm not sure how to describe it to help you see it... there are four short legs, and at the top, places for the legs of another identical bin at the top.

Maybe there is a language barrier here. A "bin" in American English is a box-like container, usually with an open top or a lid. They are used for storage, so "storage bin" is actually redundant. I know in British English, a "bin" is the container you put garbage in—what American English calls a "trash can" or "garbage pail." The object pictured in this puzzle is for storing your stuff, not disposing of your trash.

Here are some similar objects:

I kind of see it know, but to me it looks more like a wheelbarroe with 2 front legs, I'm sorry, and I appreciate your effort to try to make me understand, may be I'm "slower" than normal at the moment. :-)

Ditto #1. I can see a sort of container with a pull down handle (like those big blue mailboxes at the post office). How funny that one of your "hardest to see" puzzles got one of your highest quality ratings. I don't get that.

Ah well. I like to "push the envelope" sometimes with my puzzles, and sometimes I push too far. Guess this was one. I can see the image clearly, but that may be because I already have the mental image of what it's supposed to be, what my goal was. This one really was surprisingly hard to create.

It's easy for me to see, but I have a stack of white plastic bins like this in my garage. Some people keep potatoes and onions and the like in them.

I like it. It was easy for me to see. Maybe it would have been more obvious if you'd drawn the inside corner of the bin in c11?

It looks like these bins:
