Collapsible storage device and system having a container with a planar section and side wall pivotably joined to the base so that the container is movable between a collapsed configuration in which the container is substantially flat and an expanded configuration defining a top opening and a side opening to an interior of the container. The storage device further includes a cover frame. Locking members are provided for securing the frame to the sidewall to close the top opening of the container and to form a rigid structure. The locking members include a complimentary shaped locking tooth and slot. The storage device is further provided with a closable flap or door which provides access to the interior of the container through the side opening when the container is in the expanded configuration.

1. A storage device comprising: a container having a planar section and a side wall pivotably joined to the planar section so that the container is movable between a collapsed configuration in which the container is substantially flat, and an expanded configuration defining an opening to an interior of the container;a cover frame;a locking member for securing the cover frame to the side wall so as to close the opening of the container,whereby the locking member comprises a locking portion formed on one of the cover frame and the side wall, and a locking indent formed on one of the other of the cover frame and the side wall, the locking portion adapted for secure engagement in the locking indent,wherein the side wall further defines a side opening to the interior of the container when the container is in the expanded configuration and the cover frame is secured to the side wall, and the container further comprises a side wall stabilizing portion comprising support legs that project perpendicularly from an interior facing surface of the side wall of the container to thereby engage with and abut against the planar section of the container and extend into the interior of the container adjacent to the side opening when the container is in the expanded configuration preventing the side wall from folding into the interior of the container, wherein one or more of the planar section, side wall, or the cover frame comprises an array of protrusions, wherein one or more protrusions provided on the side wall includes at least two venting apertures. 2. The storage device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the cover frame further comprises: a downwardly projecting skirt, and one of the locking portion and the locking indent is on the skirt and the other of the locking portion and the locking indent is on the side wall of the container. 3. The storage device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the storage device further comprises a side closing means which provides access to the interior of the container through the side opening when the container is in the expanded configuration, the side closing means comprising a closable flap or door. 4. The storage device as claimed in claim 3, wherein the cover frame further comprises: a guide portion which allow the side closing portion to be inserted into the cover frame for closure of the side opening of the container. 5. The storage device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the side wall of the container is provided with a side wall connection portion. 6. The storage device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the location and orientation of the at least two venting apertures located in an upper half of the one or more protrusions allows the passage of air but prevents the direct fall of dust from entering the storage device. 7. The storage device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the cover frame further comprises: side connectors for securing the cover frame to a cover frame of an adjacent storage device. 8. The storage device as claimed in claim 7, wherein the connectors are tongue and groove connectors. 9. The storage device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the planar section of the container further comprises: connection holes for receiving protrusions extending from a cover frame of another storage device to facilitate secure stacking. 10. The storage device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the planar section of the container mounts ground engaging feet or ground engaging casters. 11. The storage device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the storage device is made from one or more of sheet material, corrugated material, extruded moulded plastics, vacuum, roto or blow molded plastics, transparent material, cardboard and hybrid materials. 12. The storage device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the storage device further comprises: a tray or drawer for inserting on the planar section of the storage device to form an aeration chamber. 13. A storage device comprising: a container having a planar section and a side wall pivotably joined to the planar section so that the container is movable between a collapsed configuration in which the container is substantially flat, and an expanded configuration defining an opening to an interior of the container;a cover frame;a locking member for securing the cover frame to the side wall so as to close the opening of the container,whereby the locking member comprises a locking portion formed on one of the cover frame and the side wall, and a locking indent formed on one of the other of the cover frame and the side wall, the locking portion adapted for secure engagement in the locking indent,wherein the side wall further defines a side opening to the interior of the container when the container is in the expanded configuration and the container further comprises a side wall stabilizing portion provided adjacent to the side opening to the interior of the container, andwherein one or more of the planar section, side wall or the cover frame comprises an array of protrusions, wherein one or more protrusions provided on the side wall include at least two venting apertures.
