Flimsy handle cut-outs
on February 27, 2013
Posted by: Paula K.
The handles have repeatedly torn away upon first use just by lifting a full box; I use this for business storage of stock usually full boxes of books of weight about 40 pounds per box. Never have had this happen before in 15 years of buying 1000's of such boxes for book storage.
Purchased a 10-pack when Staples Rewards was giving 100% back - to use to sort during my winter/spring cleaning and then to use for storing items. They are perfect. Great price even when not get 100% back hold a good deal very easy to assemble but I also like that they store flat if you don't need them at the time. Great space conserver!
These storage boxes worked out for archiving our records from the previous year. I like the size of them. they are not too big is size so I could manage carrying them with help from anyone. The boxes are easy to put together. Directions were very easy to follow. I think these boxes will hold up better than some boxes I have purchased in the past. A very good deal as far as the quantity of boxes (10 boxes) for the money. I am so glad our Staples store in Ankeny carries these. I will purchase again when needed.
These boxes are a great deal for the price and when there's a 100% Rewards refund how can you possibly beat that? I bought 2 packs of 10! If you put them together with a few swipes of glue stick or a few dribbles of good old "Elmer's" white glue they're surprisingly stout as well not the usual flimsy stuff most "recycled" has come to mean. I really like having a bunch of boxes that are all the same size and shape for storage whether in the attic or closet ot mini warehouse. Just keep them dry and they will last for a long long time. For now I'm keeping a couple of them open & empty on the floor - my cats think they're just a great place to relax & play with each other through the handle holes...
Great for long-term storage. Not good if box needs to be accessed frequently - should get the sturdier ones for that. I use these at home and at work for files that only need to be accessed a few times a year.
These are great boxes but you need to be careful how much you try to pack in them. Just put some tape on the bottoms They are great to use for file storage.
I am moving to a much smaller home and need to store a lot of stuff for a few months. These Staples Economy Storage Boxes don't hold too much to where they are too heavy to carry. They stack neatly. I wrote a number on each box and used MS Word to make an inventory list of what is in each box in case I need something I don't have to go through every box but can identify easily.
