I am a 5th grade teacher. I often prepare worksheets and other handouts in advance of the days I teach my lesson. I use this storage box, along with hanging file folders of 4 different colors (1 color for each week of the month). I have the files labeled Mon Tue Wed Thu Fri. I store the worksheets I need in the file folders for the week they are needed. It is extremely handy and portable. I can carry it to and from school as needed.
I have 2 of the Sterilite Portable file boxes. They are very useful for temporary or permanent storage of your files. The first 1 we bought was used to keep track of our monthly bills and receipts. Later as our paperwork grew we switched to using the file box for only the current month and then moved the contents to Banker Boxes for 7 year storage. I bought a 2nd boxes for current projects and activities: maps and vacation literature, home projects ideas, and other items we are working on. The only problem we have experienced is the locking latch on the front breaking the tabs that hold it in place, but they still work.
This is a great product. The only problem I have is that the latch snapped off. It would be great if the company had a link to replacement parts for their products. I do recommend if it is heavy, not to pick it up by the handle. That is how my latch broke.
This portable organizer allowed me to get all of my files ready and organized for the beginning of the school year. It came in very handy in helping me store important documents that I wanted to be able to locate after summer break! Awesome product =)
I work partly from home and partly from my office. I have three of these. They are wonderful products to keep all of your files and information with you in an organized and easily moveable manner. The best part is that I even put way too much stuff in one and broke the hinged fastener. I contacted Sterlite and then sent me one free! I just had to snap it on and it worked perfectly. It also has a place for makers/pens/whiteout/paperclips and anything else you can think of in the lid. This is a great product and I have been using it for years. I highly recommend!!
I use this product in my classroom -- it is just the right size to keep the worksheets I use with my direct instruction reading program where I can get to them as I need them. I love it.
