For $17.38 I would get a generic at Office Depot or Wallyworld. Not nearly as tough, but that is a lot of bucks for one crate...

They look good, but the don't stack worth beans and have no strength. Fully loaded with paper, they tend to have snapping and popping.

Don't know about the stacking, but I had a generic in one of the side compartments of our RV for years, filled with qts of oil, bottles of brake, power steering, etc type fluids, and other vehicle maint type stuff, and it never broke. Not as good as the real thing for sure, but it did the job 'til I found another real one to replace it...

It seems to my fuzzy mind that I saw milk crates in several sizes for sale at "Bed, Bath, and Beyond". I didn't look at the prices (I have no need for any now) but it MIGHT be worth looking at.
