I love this file box it's very sturdy and plenty of room for filing.
Downfall is the latches.

Great box to store papers in folders

I found this file box to be good. The latch is still working ok but some care needs to be taken when using this file box as everything is made from plastic fittings.
The one item that needs to be address is the lid when open all the way keep closing as a couple of plastic tab for the clear plastic storage area above hit on the back of the storage box not allowing the lid to stay open. Everytime thumbing through file folder the lid would keep falling closed.
I took a knife and cut some of the plastic on the rear of the box under the clear plasic tabs that hold the storage area above. Now the lid stays open, however I think Sterilite should have design mods that allows the the lid to stay open without the modification using a knife.
Perhaps allow the lid to even fall back a bit farther when all the way open would help with it's functionality.
I seem to remember that latch may have fallen off a couple of times however with a little care the latch hasn't been a problem.

Broken latch
on April 2, 2018
Posted by: mac48
I have 4 of theses file boxes and they do the job. But had problem with latches on two boxes broke with in a year after purchasing. Can't lift portable box by handle any longer. I open then quite frequently and they didn't take the open and closing well. They a very thin in the pivot area. Hope to get a response from Manufacture on my issue.

Nice product,except for the latch

We've had this box a few months, with fairly light use. By the third time we opened it, the attachment points for the latch broke. I'd ask for a new latch, but the part that broke is on the box itself.
We still use the box, we just can't pick it up from the top handle anymore. It is disappointing, but not fatal.

Great extra storage

I was able to store the files with coloring sheets and construction paper for the kids out of the way without them getting bent and torn. There was also space left for storing the leftover school supplies (notebooks, folders and pencils).

What a Great File Box!

This file box is wonderful. It is especially useful, since it can be carried anywhere. The top has space for office supplies, pens, scissors, clips etc., and it smaps shut. The rest of the file box fits letter size files and is great for anyone who needs to take their office records with them. Also great for the home because it is just the right size to fit into a small home office area. Sterilite comes up with the greatest products! Couldn't live without them.

Great Except for Latch Support

I use three of these boxes for my personal files and they travel with me north for the summer and south for the winter. I have used these boxes for years and find them very useful, however two of them have broken when the side latch breaks off because the thin plastic on the bottom of the hinge insert breaks off (not the hinge itself). This part cannot be replaced without buying a whole new container. Perhaps the engineers of this box can widen the plastic where the holes are to make it more durable. Other than that, I love these boxes as well as the many other Sterilite storage products. I use the containers at my cottage to keep the mice out of my linens and dry foods over the winter. As well, I use the larger containers for transporting things back and forth in the spring and fall.

Just what I needed!

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.
