I purchased the Basic Duty File Box for light use. It is an OK product for its intended use. However for heavier papers and files these boxes are too flimsy and would not stack as well as a heavy duty box. Plan ahead for your needs!
The perforations are not sharp and deep enough making it difficult to remove the lid and separate sides without tearing the cardboard. I have not purchased these fir a few years so I don’t know if I received a bad lot or if the quality has generally gone down.
The boxes are pricey for basically light duty. They are good basic boxes though. Found some Banker Boxes later at Costco which was heavier and what I needed them for. Would recommand if only using them for light stuff. No if using them for heavier stuff.
These basic boxes work well to store items you don't need to access everyday (e.g. tax records) and the large rectangular area on the sides are great for labeling its contents. I would not use these boxes to keep objects I need to access frequently because I'm not sure how well they would hold up under that much handling but I know they work well for my taxes because I've used (and reused) them for years.
I wouldn't get any other boxes from other sources outside of Staples because Staples is cheaper and the boxes hold up longer. I still have things in Staple boxes for the last 15 years.
