Very Sturdy Filing Boxes

I really enjoy these boxes. They are easy to handle very sturdy and to lift. I use these for filing family pictures crochet magazines nick knacks glass ware and cards. I am a house wife and do like to keep things organized and easy to find. I find these boxes to stack one on top of the other. I also use these like book shelves. I have many crochet magazines and books so these boxes help me keep them easy to find. Another good use these boxes are good for is yarn or crochet thread and crafts. Again I cannot say enough about these boxes. They are very good.
I have used these storage boxes for years and the lids were inserted separately with the boxes in the package. When the lids were attached to the box we had to use a knife or sissors to cut the lid from the cardboard box. Many times the lid tore off some of the box when detached. It also took much longer to set up the boxes conscidering the additional task of removing the lids.
Overall the file boxes work well are sturdy and easy to set up. Only complaint is the perferations are sometimes not well done and makes it more difficult to set up.
I just used 60 of these boxes to pack my library for a move to our new home. They are very easy to assemble (about 1.5 minutes per box after you learn the system) an are remarkably sturdy for thier size and weight. I was able to stack the boxes fully loaded with books five high without difficulty.
Great storage boxes for all my legal files and documents. Has identification lines on outside to make organization easier and simpler. These storage containers are not moved and therefor are of a good quality and sturdiness for the project I have used them for. I have also used them to store items temporarily during a move and they have been very efficient for that usage as well. The tops must be made right and do not overfill or the box will have structural instability. They are not strong enough for heavy items for the long hall. Use tape to firm up the openings if that is what you wish to use them for.
