These boxes are a great deal for the price and when there's a 100% Rewards refund how can you possibly beat that? I bought 2 packs of 10! If you put them together with a few swipes of glue stick or a few dribbles of good old "Elmer's" white glue they're surprisingly stout as well not the usual flimsy stuff most "recycled" has come to mean. I really like having a bunch of boxes that are all the same size and shape for storage whether in the attic or closet ot mini warehouse. Just keep them dry and they will last for a long long time. For now I'm keeping a couple of them open & empty on the floor - my cats think they're just a great place to relax & play with each other through the handle holes...
Great for long-term storage. Not good if box needs to be accessed frequently - should get the sturdier ones for that. I use these at home and at work for files that only need to be accessed a few times a year.
These are great boxes but you need to be careful how much you try to pack in them. Just put some tape on the bottoms They are great to use for file storage.
I am moving to a much smaller home and need to store a lot of stuff for a few months. These Staples Economy Storage Boxes don't hold too much to where they are too heavy to carry. They stack neatly. I wrote a number on each box and used MS Word to make an inventory list of what is in each box in case I need something I don't have to go through every box but can identify easily.
I have been using these storage boxes for a long time and find them vbery easy to assemble and they are sturdy enough to stack them and not have them collapse or get weak at all. They are vbery good to use for storage of craft projects that I have started and wish to complete some day in the future. Now that I am 80 years old I think I had better get on the ball so as not to leave too many half completed projects that my children will find and wonder - WHY IN THE WORLD DID SHE START THIS PROJECT AND NOT FINISH IT AT ALL.
