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.

I need to brochures and other paper media organized for my airplane group. I needed something that wasn't too large or heavy and these boxes fit the bill. I bought letter size hanging file folders to fill them. They are easy to carry and hold a lot. Not the most sturdy boxes but they are sturdy enough to stack two high for my needs. The lids stay on securely and will keep my materials out of the dust and wind when we set up outside. The price was right when they were on sale. Would recommend.
