Easy to assemble holds its shape through very rugged handling ang large weight contents. The lid is a plus and the opened sides (to grab) are additional pluses. Use them for everything.
I have used Staples boxes for over 20 years and have introduced others to them as well. They are perfect for filing papers as well as for storing clothing or small items. The easy assembly and handle holds on the sides make them very handy to use.The white color is perfect for labeling. They are sturdy enough to be used multiple times for various purposes. They are long lasting. I am currently using approximately five hundred of them in my storage units. I stack them as high as nine boxes without any problems. They will crush however if you put too much weight on top of fairly empty boxes. Many of my five hundred boxes are very old and still holding! I would recommend them to anyone!
I use these boxes for everything! They are study and just the right size for everything. The handles make them easy to transport. The size and shape allow for easy stacking and storing. They store nicely when new as they are flat and don't take much room in the basement. They are easy to assemble and the lid fits perfectly. I use them to store all my tax documents my warranties and guides all my computer software electronic cords printer paper old photos and frames all my light bulbs storage of anything that I'm not using or occasionally use and on and on etc. I love to be able to write on the outside of the box so when I stack I know exactly what I have and where to get it. When I clean a room I put stuff in these boxes from the room outside while I clean. You can load them up with light or heavy items and still carry them anywhere.
easy to assemble and great size. Good area of place to show contents. Handles need to be stronger. Good for the money and for purpose. For long term storage is ok.
I like the design I wish the box itself was made of a more industrial strength material if you try to stack them five high over a long period of time they will buckle even thou they say they will hold a lot of weight...they break down over several months in dry storage but they are cheaper than 10 plastic crates...
I needed something to keep files upright and block light. I put the documents inside vented plastic totes for more-stable stacks and to save them from upper-floor leaks or fire sprinklers. The cardboard boxes that were glued straight fit well in the plastic totes. Those that were glued skewed on some corners couldn't sit flat in the plastic totes so I'll end up with bent corners and possibly damaged documents.
