Perfect Temporary Storage

I needed these boxes for packing up all of my china and knick knacks in order to have the floors redone in my house. All of the furniture needed to be moved. So for the last two months everything has been stored in these boxes until such time as I can put it on display again. I like the size of the boxes because even when full I can manage to carry them up or down stairs to the storage area.
I needed a quick easy and inexpensive solution for my packing and moving headache. These inexpensive yet durable boxes made my work a lot easier. Easy to carry stack and label - why not use a banker's box?
I really enjoy these boxes. They are easy to handle very sturdy and to lift. I use these for filing family pictures crochet magazines nick knacks glass ware and cards. I am a house wife and do like to keep things organized and easy to find. I find these boxes to stack one on top of the other. I also use these like book shelves. I have many crochet magazines and books so these boxes help me keep them easy to find. Another good use these boxes are good for is yarn or crochet thread and crafts. Again I cannot say enough about these boxes. They are very good.
I have used these storage boxes for years and the lids were inserted separately with the boxes in the package. When the lids were attached to the box we had to use a knife or sissors to cut the lid from the cardboard box. Many times the lid tore off some of the box when detached. It also took much longer to set up the boxes conscidering the additional task of removing the lids.
Overall the file boxes work well are sturdy and easy to set up. Only complaint is the perferations are sometimes not well done and makes it more difficult to set up.
I just used 60 of these boxes to pack my library for a move to our new home. They are very easy to assemble (about 1.5 minutes per box after you learn the system) an are remarkably sturdy for thier size and weight. I was able to stack the boxes fully loaded with books five high without difficulty.
