These are a staple at home and in the office. We use them to move files and other objects when we are re-organizing the space; We use them to store old records that have to be kept for tax or other legal reasons. They are easy to label and stack well easy to put together. I have been known to leave home late in the evening to get a new set of these when I have carelessly run out. We have also used them hold presents for the many people in our family labelling them in the attic with each person's name and through the year as we see something perfect for one or another person in the box it goes. No last minute scurrying and no losing track of the gifts.
Very easy to assemble and very sturdy product for the price. We use it to organize things in our basement. It neatly stacks up too. It is made of recycled material so is more environment friendly that other non recycled products. I was contemplating to buy Plastic boxes end up buying this as this has much less weight than plastic boxes and also cost much less. Each box could be easily labeled. Boxes are easy to handle and content can be easily retrieved without damaging it. I love this product and recommend this to anyone trying to organize this at an economical cost.
These boxes were on sale and represent a good value for organizing household items not just files. They are made of light-weight corrugated so are not well-suited for heavy duty use. The perforations to separate the lid and different sections of the box require additional cutting otherwise you risk bending the corrugated and weakening it if you just try to tear the sections.
Two years ago I needed to move my ailing mother from South Carolina to New Mexico. In order to get the house ready for sale I used cartons to pack my mother's housewares books papers sewing items tax and medical records clothing etc. These cartons were easy to load and stack onto a U Haul without adding too much weight to the truck total. They were sturdy enough that I was able to stack them up to 5 tall without them buckling. When I saw the sale on these I knew that they would be perfect for keeping confidential school records over the summer.
