Great "liftable" storage boxes

I have used these boxes for moving several times and just love them especially for very heavy items like books. They are neat and well made and very easy to assemble and disassemble so you can store them (both boxes and lids) all flat until next time you need them. Great product...great price.
I use the product at year-end to hold all my files for the year. The great thing about this product - Ican write on the outside of the box so I can find a file I may need later. I do not have anything bad to say about this product.
I will no longer buy this product. I have purchased these storage boxes in the past and they were great! However a change in construction has taken place and now the box top needs to be cut from the body of the box. The lid use to be it's own separate piece of cardboard and was sandwiched nicely between the flat box. Now you need a razor knife to cut it from the side of the flat box. This is not smooth and the box top is jagged.
I use this box to store books reports and documents - in short: paper. The box gets pretty heavy when full - so I am investing in a strapping kit to secure it. Don't get tempted to get the next larger size - legal size. That box is far too flimsy to hold its fill of paper - and it gets too heavy to handle with ease.
I intended to use the product to store files and books but found that its construction is not sturdy enough for the resulting weight. It would be better if it were not as long - then it would hold less paper but would be easier to handle and move and it would be sturdier and provide longer term use. Instead I now use it to store materials lighter than paper/books and it does fine for such purposes.
