[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve used these in my classroom for a variety of reasons. My favorite being classroom “mailboxes” In file folders.
I bought 3 of these for my disabled husband. He wanted to organize his vinyl record album collection. If these were actually 17 1/4 x 14 1/4 they would have been perfect. Unfortunately your measurements are wrong. At its widest point it measures 16 5/8 x 13 7/8. Too small for albums. Very disappointing
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi there! We are sorry to hear to hear the inconvenience of the File Crate not meeting your storage needs. The outside dimensions measure: 17 1/4" L x 14 1/4" W x 10 3/4" H, and the interior dimensions at the bottom measure: 15" L x 12" W x 10 1/4" H. These dimensions listed on our website and labels are the measurements taken from the widest points of the products, typically the lid or top, and include and protrusions. Inside dimensions are smaller as the product tapers downward. This is the universal method for measuring housewares. Product quality and customer service are very important to us-please reach out to us at Consumer-Team@sterilite.com for further assistance.
I have 2 of the black and they are the best ever for my files. I discovered the 4 small holes in the bottom that fit 4 small wheels from one of my other Sterilite product's. I can easily roll the crate under my table and roll it out when I need a file.
This product has very sharp edges on it. I cut my finger on it when picking it up, took layers of skin off my finger, bleeding, painful for a week, still having to keep the injured sire covered.

Hi Lori, we are sorry to hear about the File Crates having sharp edges. Please contact custsrvc@sterilite.com for further assistance.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These crates are great for storage! I have also used them to create crate seat and additional shelving for my classroom and they are perfect!
I purchased these when my child went off to college which came in handy for just about everything like books, stationary supplies, bath and beauty products, small towels and washcloths. They are extremely sturdy and have held up well.
These crates are the best invention. I use them for everything, from storing my never ending to do of grading, to current student work and student materials. I highly recommend these to anyone that needs simple organization.
