They are the best in Moves

These were useful while readying for yard sale before moving and then the actual move. The standardized box kept everything neat and ready for relocation
If you are planning to store items in these boxes which will be accessed more than once in awhile you may want a heavier model. But for storing items that will be accessed only now and then these are perfect. They don't cost much and they are reasonably sturdy so you can stack them.
I use them to store closed files. The boxes remain sturdy for a long time- never had one fall apart. They stack easily and are easily carried with the hand holds. I would like the option of also having a little bigger storage box for somewhat larger items.
The boxes were great BEFORE they attached the lids to the boxes. You now have to cut the box lid off of the box before you assemble either piece which wouldn't be a big concern but the perforated edge isn't perforated enough so even though you take scissors exacto knife etc you still risk a chance of tearing the lid or the box but normally the lid will tear. I finally got the hang of it but tore at least two or three of the lids while attempting to separate these. Very disappointing because I didn't have any extra lids to put in place of what was torn.
These boxes are very sturdy and I love how the ends have the perfect place to label what is in them. They are also the perfect size to put letter and legal files in. They stack very nicely and are compact enough to put into small places. I have also used them for packing when I moved. They were still in such great conditon after I used them that I passed them on to my sister-in-law who was also moving and they held up very well for both of us! I have used them for various things. I really love how they are so very versatile.
