EXCELLENT BOX WITH MANY USES
on January 2, 2014

I use these boxes for everything! They are study and just the right size for everything. The handles make them easy to transport. The size and shape allow for easy stacking and storing. They store nicely when new as they are flat and don't take much room in the basement. They are easy to assemble and the lid fits perfectly. I use them to store all my tax documents my warranties and guides all my computer software electronic cords printer paper old photos and frames all my light bulbs storage of anything that I'm not using or occasionally use and on and on etc. I love to be able to write on the outside of the box so when I stack I know exactly what I have and where to get it. When I clean a room I put stuff in these boxes from the room outside while I clean. You can load them up with light or heavy items and still carry them anywhere.
easy to assemble and great size. Good area of place to show contents. Handles need to be stronger. Good for the money and for purpose. For long term storage is ok.
I've used at least 100 of these "banker's boxes" over the past decade mostly for organization and storage of books in private libraries and storage of personal records. Once assembled with their tops on they are tough enough to retain their shape stacked at least four high about the limit for handling boxes filled with books. These are also the least expensive "banker's boxes" that I'm aware of. For practical use the only thing more offered by other boxes is higher prices.
This is great for storing things that you will need to carry later - such as xmas decorations - around the house. They are small enough to be easily carried yet strong enough to be filled full.
I like the design I wish the box itself was made of a more industrial strength material if you try to stack them five high over a long period of time they will buckle even thou they say they will hold a lot of weight...they break down over several months in dry storage but they are cheaper than 10 plastic crates...
