Great Buy

I buy these often. I use them for all kinds of things not just for storing records. I buy them for work and for home. They are great for storing books and things around the house as well as the office. The size is good for heavy items. Not too large not too small. They hold up well to heavy items. Great for light weight items as well. Easy to assemble very sturdy. I strongly recommend. They are a much better buy than the name brand. they come in a convenient 10 pack at a very reasonable price.
I bought these boxes when I was moving last year. They held up very well. Had to buy more this year to store more stuff. I would suggest taping the corners if you are going to store heavy papers and books. It is very good for storing medium weight items.
We have storage of our files for 17 years and these boxes have always been reliable strong holds the weight and looks professional when stacked up. easy to assemble too.
As an engineering firm we are required to keep our old plans and project folders for at least ten years. This means we have a tremendous amount of paperwork that must be stored in an un-airconditioned warehouse so it is imperative that our storage boxes hold up to brutal conditions. The Staple brand boxes are excellent. We can stack them 4-5 high and they with-stand the heavy load with no problems. They are also very easy to put together and light-weight while also being very sturdy.
This is a good deal for the price. They come in packs of 10 and a case has 40 inside which makes it heavy. I wish this box was as sturdy as the bankers boxes at Costco. The lid is a tad bit shorter and the bottom turns out to be thinner but at $5.00 less per 10 units it's a fair compromise. The flat lid is a bit harder to detach than expected so make sure you have a box cutter handy or you may wind up ripping the top up instead of off. For general packing it will do. You may want to tape the handles down to keep them out of the way.
