a fine storage box

After some small confusion as to how to assemble the box it went together very nicely and is sturdy enough to hold almost anything within reason. The tops are also sturdy and fit well. I like that the box has sufficient designated place for labeling. All in all a well-designed product adequate for its use.
These were the perfect size to move books and papers to a new location. They are perfect since they have built in handles and lids. I was able to put just the right amount of items in and not make it too heavy to carry up stairs. I also used them to move a lot of other items as well as use as storage boxes.
For the price these storage boxes are definitely worth it. They easily hold folder files (not legal size though). They are sturdy and can support a full box of paper work. The assembly of the boxes are easy if you follow the directions. Only con would be that the perforations for detaching prior to assembling is somewhat weak and you can tear part of the box or lid if you are not careful. Also I am not sure how well they will hold up if full boxes are stacked on top of each other for a long period of time.
It came later than I expected. The local store Ames Iowa would not honor the monthly special I had to call the 800 # to get the sale price. A little more trouble than expected.
I bought these as they were a little less expensive than the brand name bankers boxes but found that I had to use scissors to finish the perforations required to detach the cover and and prepare the side panels. The boxes seem sturdy but this extra step was a bit frustrating.
Best deal ever. Got 10 boxes under $20. I organized all childhood toy instantly to clear up my boy's room. It is durable enough to hold pretty heavy toy and to stack.
