Boxes and lids are easy to assemble and break down again if you are using to move files only. Lots of space on either end to record contents of each box. Handle grips provided makes movement of boxes easy and efficient. If storage is your end goal stackability is superb. The ten pack is the most economic way to go and the fact that they are 65% post- consumer product makes the recycler in me very happy!
Was not disappointed in choosing this product. They are easy to store until needed easy to assemble (be gentle and patient with the perferated sides) and sturdy. Very helpful when getting organized moving or in need of a sturdy box. The price was resonable and quality of the paste board is good. The handle openings are created when you complete assembly and they make the lifting transporting and relocation of these boxes convenient. The clean sides make them suitable to be out in the open with some Staples ad/references minimal. This product would be purchased again.
These boxes are a reasonable size to pack dishes and other household goods for when you are remodeling and need to clear out the contents of a room. The boxes are small enough that when filled with files I can still lift them. When filled with hardback books they are still lift-able but a struggle for me. The boxes can serve as a filing cabinet when you run out of file drawers. I use them to hold music and music books that are too numerous for my bookshelves and family history documents. Because the boxes have lids they can be stacked to save floor space.
Several boxes from one pack had cardboard construction flaws (surface paper not completely glued to the corregation). Box sides are sometimes cut a bit short so handholds may not match through all side layers. Box covers could use redesign -- they are not heavy duty enough to withstand much weight or prolonged use and the overlap with the box sides is a bit too shallow. Separating the box pieces from each other and freeing flaps can cause box damage. In spite of it all they generally get the job done.
The package of boxes.was easy to carry and store. At first I did not really believe there were lids also but there they were. I didn't think they would be so easy to assemble but the instructions were clear and it took only a couple of minutes for each box and lid. They hold a lot of files and are easy to carry even when full and easy to stack. Easy option to label boxes consistently too. I am planning to use them for moving and storing files. The price was reasonable for the 10- pack and seem quite sturdy.
