A storage container with retractable stands has a body and two stand assemblies. The body has a front surface, a rear surface and multiple slots. The slots are formed in the front and rear surfaces. Each stand assembly has multiple props. Each prop is mounted pivotally in a corresponding slot. The props are pivoted to stand on the ground to stand the storage container off the ground for increased convenience. When the props are held in the slots, the props are completely received in the slots to avoid additional storage volume.
