It's transparent so you can see what's inside. Good size but not so big it will be too heavy to carry when full.

These boxes work well for lighter storage (clothes towels etc). However it's best not to fill the entire box with paper files because they are too heavy. The tops crack easy if accidentally dropped. Or if you stack heavy items on top.

Not very sturdy and the plastic is somewhat brittle. One of the four boxes arrived broken; the lid was cracked and a piece of the box’s top edge was broken off.

These are exactly as described. None of them arrived broken like other brands I ordered. They fit letter size folders well and allowed me to store some things more efficiently for myself and my child. I have been purging a lot of things but these are the perfect size for what I wanted to keep.

The boxed are perfecy for hanging files. Each box has a "ridge" the hanging files fit on, either regular or lehal size files. Sturdy. Easy to move around. I buy them on-sale.

This can hold pendaflex folders and is decent for filing paperwork, but the plastic is easily cracked and not very durable. If you were using this to store soft clothing items it may work, but if you plan on storing anything heavy this would not be a good option.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
