Purchased the generic brand to save money compared to the Bankers Box brand. Some lids were missing tabs so the edges came undone. Plus the pre-perforated cuts must have been done with a rusty old butter knife. I ended up with deformed boxes. I’ll never purchase a generic brand from Staples again.
These boxes are indeed heavy duty. The weakest link is the top but even there it has a flap to lock into the handle holes for added stability. These are my go-to banker boxes now.
These boxes are just the right size for moving household items in a move. I packed them with books magazines files kitchen tools laundry and kitchen cleansers; you name it I packed it. I have been using this brand of boxes for the last 10 years and highly recommend it. The boxes age and warp over time so I would suggest a heavier quality box if you plan to use these for storage beyond 8-10 years.
I purchased these to pack items for moving a classroom. You do get the most for your money. The ONLY drawback was that about 4 of the 15 bottoms had to be reconstructed a second time because the first time they were constructed they were "off" a little (rounded edges wonky fit). Eventually they were all fine. Overall a good purchase.
