good basic storage box

have been using Staples basic storage boxes for years with good sucess! great for indoor use; storage of decor items; files & paper work; irems not used too often; plus others. if you're in a humid or damp area they may not be as good in small sheds. use mine in cellar mainly. we have dampness on LI so i use a dehumidifier. boxes have stayed intact and dry for years. thank you lenny k
I have used these boxes once before but one size up.There is a little work to do when you put the box together but the instruction is on the box. I have to pack 150 to 200 work books and now that I’m in my fifty’s the smaller size works better. I like and need the handles on the sides to make it easier to pick up the boxes. If the boxes was bigger I would put more books in and would not be able to lift them. This is the basic and not the heavy duty but i find it still holds up great. I have had some boxes of books packed for years and still hold. The out side of the box on both sides has a great space for labeling space but I use peal and stick so I can change the contents.
Boxes tear when you try to separate the lids from them. The perforations were not lined up correctly that is the reason. But a positive note the boxes hold what I need them to.
For the price they are great . they are cheap. so if you aren't careful you can rip them. if you drop them when full they will probably break. But seriously what are you using them for ? To store stuff that you probably have on the computer is available on the internet that you will never look at again . So they will probably do the job. and if they rip just tape them up with packing tape
