Economy storage boxes

These boxes are excellent. They are easy to assemble they are sturdy and when you fill them they are easy to carry because they have built in handles I have purchased many to use in a variety of ways for files for storing costumes and for packing for trips.
I have been using these boxes for years and they are excellent. They hold up well and maintain their shape even with repeated moves. Even the tops maintain their shape and stay on when the boxes are filled to capacity. The size of the box holds a sufficient amount of file material to be adequate for most purposes but is not so large that even when full to capacity is not still readily movable. These boxes also stack well and the area allowed for labeling is adequate to include several references and cross-references making location of stored material simpler.
Staples calls these "Economy" storage boxes. They "economized" all right -- they neglected to glue down an edge of the box which is supposed to be fixed. Of the boxes in the 10 pack that I purchased the first 5 were okay. The last 5 were defective. If you're going to buy these make sure you have a roll of strong tape on hand so that you can fix the problem -- and hope that the tape will make the box sturdy enough for your needs.
I love these boxes. I can fill them with my yarn stash label what's in them with snips to show the yarn and stack them to the ceiling. Very sturdy for this purpose. They went on sale for $1 a box and I bought 20. Wish I had gotten more.
