Container system and method of assembly

A container system comprising:

• a first container comprising a first wall defining a pair of first openings therethrough;
• a second container comprising a second wall disposed adjacent to the first wall, the second wall defining a pair of second openings therethrough, wherein each second opening from the pair of second openings is aligned with a corresponding first opening from the pair of first openings;
• a pair of connecting members, wherein each connecting member from the pair of connecting members is at least partially received with the corresponding first opening from the pair of first openings and the corresponding second opening from the pair of second openings, each connecting member comprising a narrow portion extending between a first end and a second end opposing the first end, a first wide portion disposed at the first end of the narrow portion, and a second wide portion disposed at the second end of the narrow portion, wherein a width of the narrow portion of each connecting member is less than a width of each of the first wide portion and the second wide portion, wherein the width of the first wide portion of each connecting member is greater than a maximum width of the corresponding first opening, and wherein the width of the second wide portion of each connecting member is greater than a maximum width of the corresponding second opening;
• and
• a securing member disposed on the second wall and comprising a longitudinal portion extending at least partially along the second wall between opposing ends, a pair of end extensions extending from opposing ends of the longitudinal portion, and an intermediate extension extending from the longitudinal portion between the pair of end extensions, such that the intermediate extension, the pair of end extensions, and the longitudinal portion together define a pair of notches therebetween, wherein each of the pair of notches is aligned with the narrow portion of a corresponding connecting member from the pair of connecting members;
• wherein:
• the narrow portion is at least partially received within each of the corresponding first opening and the corresponding second opening;
• the first wide portion is received within the first container, the first wide portion extending across the corresponding first opening and engaging the first wall on opposing sides of the corresponding first opening;
• the second wide portion is disposed adjacent to the second wall and extends across the corresponding second opening;
• each of the pair of notches at least partially receives therein the narrow portion of the corresponding connecting member;
• each of the pair of end extensions is at least partially received between the second wide portion of the corresponding connecting member and the second wall, each of the pair of end extensions engaging the narrow portion and the second wide portion of the corresponding connecting member and the second wall;
• and
• the intermediate extension at least partially extends between the pair of connecting members and is at least partially received between the second wide portion of each connecting member and the second wall, the intermediate extension engaging the narrow portion and the second wide portion of each connecting member and the second wall, such that the pair of connecting members and the securing member secure the second container to the first container.
