I have several buckets, and as they are all different shapes and sizes, they are impossible to stack taking up so much space.  This is why I love the URSMART Upgrade Collapsible Bucket Pail Watertight No Leakage Fabric With a Zippered Storage Bag(11L 3Gallon Blue).

As you can see in the photos, it fully collapses, and goes into it’s round zippered storage bag.  Once you remove it, just pull it up, and I smooth the sides out.  It has a metal carrying handle.

Of course I had to try it immediately with water in it.  No leakage whatsoever.  The size is when open to 9.25″ tall and folds to less than 2″.

If you live in an apartment, or small condo, this would be just perfect.  Also for anything outdoors.  In the garden, boating, camping, and anywhere you need to hold, or carry water.

To close it you just have to turn the top, and it sits in place.

The quality of this bucket is excellent.  There are no sharp areas, and it just slips back into the cover.  I can’t believe that the Amazon Prime price is only $7.99. 

I did receive mine at a discounted price, and would willingly pay the retail price for it.  It is that well made.
