Great Storage
on January 15, 2015

Cannot beat this product for small business storage needs. Boxes are sturdy and stackable. In addition they are reusable after the files stored are no longer needed and have been shredded. They can easily be used as small moving boxes that are much easier to lift and carry.
I have been buying these boxes for years now. The original ones I bought are still in good shape and I often use and reuse the boxes many times over. They are inexpensive simple to unfold and "assemble" and are very sturdy. Even when I have purchased them at full price I have felt like I've gotten a bargain given the consistent quality. Yes this is only a cardboard box but it is a workhorse. One of the best features is the sturdy handles - even after multiple times lifting and carrying the boxes the handles stay strong (I have only had one or two rip on me and that was b/c I was trying to carry the box with one hand when it was heavy enough to be picked up with both hands. I am a fan of this item and will buy more in the future.
I have been ordering these boxes to archive my year end files for the last 3 years. These boxes are easy to put together and hold all of the files nicely. These boxes stack together well and I have stacked them 7 high with no problems. The boxes are sturdy enough to stand up to my storage needs. I will continue to order them in the future and would recommend to anyone that is looking to purchase that they are a good buy. The only note I will make is if you move your storage boxes around a lot or if you store abnormally heavy items in them you will need to get the stronger boxes. I find that for basic file storage they are perfect.
We have used these boxes for many years. They are great for storage indoors. They can be used for legal or letter sized folders to hold documents for over five years. We have destroyed documents after that time and even reused the boxes because they have still been in good shape.
