HDX Defender Tote Earns Top Honors in Home Organization

The Home Depot's HDX home storage products have earned another accolade with the announcement that their 27-Gallon Defender Tote has received a 2026 Organization Award from Apartment Therapy. This honor recognizes the heavy-duty storage tote as one of the year's leading home organization solutions.

The HDX 27-Gallon Defender Tote, designed and manufactured by Kreate exclusively for The Home Depot, combines heavy-duty protection with practical, long-term organization. It features waterproof and dustproof protection with integrated gaskets, heavy-duty latches to protect contents from moisture, dust, and dirt, a clear bin and lid for easy identification of stored items, and a stackable, modular design within the HDX Defender collection.

This award is part of Apartment Therapy's annual Organization Awards, which highlight 40 products across five categories. Winners are selected following hundreds of hours of product testing and review by the publication's editorial team.
