Utility for storage of documents
on July 10, 2014

These are easy to construct and fairly durable for moving paper work from on location to another. We use them both in the office and at our document storage location with minimal issues such as tearing or confusion on constructing the boxes from our employees.
I used these boxes for a organizational project. They fit perfectly in the Ikea unit. I painted the front section and they are durable. I have used these same boxes for work. Easy to assemble.
I purchased these boxes for an office move. The price was substantially below comparable boxes by other brands. The boxes are quite easy to assemble and appear to be as sturdy as the more expensive boxes that were offered for sale. I returned to purchase more of these boxes but was disappointed to find that there were no more in stock. I had to purchase a smaller number of boxes at a higher price. This second set of boxes was exactly the same in design and quality but much more expensive. I would definitely purchase the first set of boxes again if I needed them.
I bought these to sort and store a large collection of Life Magazines from the 40s and50s my grandmother saved for my dad. They've been in flimsy boxes for over 40 years and I hope to be able to finally organize them to see exactly what I have. The boxes seem strong and will be more than able to handle the magazines. There is plenty of room to label the boxes so I know what is in the boxes. If anyone has any better suggestions for an economical way to store and organize old Life Magazines I'd love to hear from you.
At our law office we recently overhauled how we stored our closed files (approximately 2 000 files). These boxes are perfect for our legal sized files. They can also store letter sized files - depending on which way you turn the box. The boxes come in the pack of 10 and are not assembled. It takes about 30-60 seconds to assemble the box and lid. The pictures and instructions on each box are very simple and easy to follow. They are very sturdy and reliable so long as you do not overstuff them. The handles make the boxes easy to carry for both myself (small hands) and my buddy who carries them (very large hands). The size limits the contents so you are not making the boxes too heavy to easily carry. I have went through about 40 boxes now and they are all consistent. None have tore fallen apart or were mis-cut and not able to put together. Will be buying more I'm sure.
I bought these boxes to store items in my bedroom while I completed wall repair and painting. I found they were easy to assemble and stored much more than I had expected: books photo albums decorative items cosmetics and more. The boxes were very sturdy reinforced by the securely-fitting lids. I stacked them four-to-five at a time and despite standing in this position for nearly a month they never buckled or cracked despite the heavy contents. The boxes were thick enough to withstand paint drips and still protect the contents from paint damage.
I have been purchasing these boxes for years to store and move items in my classroom. As an Elementary Education teacher I have had to move classrooms and grade levels. This means organizing and storing lots of materials. What I like most about these boxes is that they are sturdy and strong. They can be filled to the brim with boxes with no problem. They require no tape. Best of all I can lift and move them all by myself with the handle spaces. They are just the right size to never be too heavy. While they are designed to store files (which they do perfect-the lid will even go on with hanging files) they are also great for decoration paper and book storage. They stack up nicely too. Being all the same size creates a very organized storage space. I would recommend them again and again. Worth the money to buy instead of using a bunch of junkie non-matched taped up boxes!
