The perfect boxes for our move
on February 6, 2023

I rarely, rarely write reviews, but this time a review is merited. I purchased the banker's box medium boxes, and they are just what we needed. We are in the process of moving out of our house after having lived here for half a century. Because we are in our 70s and have accumulated so much STUFF, it takes a long time to go through everything. Meanwhile, we have to live here and continue to access things we need. The banker boxes are perfect. They have convenient lift-off lids, so we can get to our stuff if needed. When we finally finish this project, we'll tape up the boxes and be out the door to our new adventure. Previously, we were taping and untaping boxes as we remembered we needed something. This has eliminated that problem and stopped the nagging. :) By the way, they are super sturdy.
I have been buying Bankers Box's for file archive/storage as the small size is a perfect fit for hanging file folders. I am in the process of organizing all sorts of things stored in the basement and purchased plastic storage shelves to keep boxes organized and off the concrete floor. I prefer Bankers Box because they are easily put together without tape (and conversely can be flattened to store for reuse afterwards), easy to carry with built-in handle holes, and removable lids are perfect for easy access of stored items. I was delighted to find these larger dimension boxes (18x15x14) because they fit two boxes per shelf and left little unused space on my shelves. These boxes are not as sturdy as other traditional heavy duty boxes when stacking on top of each other, so this must be considered if stacking heavy boxes is involved. Directions pictorial is not very clear on your first attempt but once you realize the proper steps they are easily assembled (seems counter-intuitive to tuck the bottom in first before the sides but you will understand when you turn it over, pull the sides up, and then push the bottom back down).
Pros: Comfortable Handles, Compatible with other Filing Products, Quality Construction, Space to Label, Tear Resistant Handles
Cons: Stacking Strength, lid doesn't seat very far
I would recommend this to a friend!

I purchased these boxes for an office move. They were super easy to put together, strong enough to hold files and anything else we put inside and afterwards we were able to break them down easily and take them to the next location to be used for their move. Afterwards we still had boxes in great shape and broke them down and stored them back in the original box for use in the future. Great product and would highly recommend them.

I like the way these fold up with no packing tape. I've used these for a long time, usually the small size in white. This time I got the medium in brown for storage of larger item. The only problem I had was that one box's glued side got stuck to another, & I had to use a box cutter to separate them. Out of all the boxes I've purchased, that is the Only problem I've had.

Thank you for taking the time to post your favorable review, carnivalroses though we are sorry to hear that two were stuck together! We appreciate the feedback.
I purchased Bankers boxes for my last move, and they were well worth the money. I am moving again and purchased more. What makes them better? Not having to use packing tape, durability, the easy carry handles, and separate lids. Anything that will make moving better is definitely worth it in my book.

Thank you for your continued support and fabulous reviews, Salsanators! We appreciate the valuable feedback!
I love these boxes for moving!! The boxes are strong and easy to set up. I started packing to move with boxes from a moving company, but the handles kept tearing out, and I was using way too much tape to keep the bottoms in them. So, I ordered the bankers boxes - what a difference! Strong and stackable. I highly recommend these for moving and storing.

Thank you for the high recommendation and feedback, GreatBoxes! Thank you for choosing Fellowes Bankers Box!
These boxes are a pain to separate the lid from the box itself but once everything is assembled they work great. They are definitely made for lighter items but I could see using them for mid weight things in special circumstances. Overall they are a great product.
