STORAGE CONTAINER
A storage container including a frame surrounding an interior having primary and secondary openings, a lid assembly mounted adjacent the primary opening, and a bottom panel selectively attached to the frame adjacent the secondary opening. The container has a front panel, a back panel, and a pair of end panels. The frame interior is sized to receive the front panel, the back panel, and the end panels. The front panel, the back panel, and the pair of end panels are configured for selective attachment to the frame surrounding the secondary opening when the bottom panel is detached from the frame. The bottom panel is configured for simultaneous selective attachment to the front panel, the back panel, and the pair of end panels opposite the secondary opening when the front panel, the back panel, and the pair of end panels are attached to the frame surrounding the secondary opening.
