Great concept, but lid needs improvement.

This week I bought several of these file boxes to transfer my office files to our new home. I especially like that the 18.5 x 14 x 11 inch dimensions can handle either letter or legal sized files and are also designed to accommodate standard as well as or hanging files. The see-through plastic is very convenient, too. Unfortunately the lid is made from a particularly brittle type of plastic and breaks extremely easily. When I picked up the black lid to close the box, it slipped from my hand and shattered into several pieces. I don't know if the clear box is also prone to shatter as easily since I didn't drop one and don't intend to test it, but I will handle them very carefully in future to avoid future breakage.

Lids are Brittle, and break easily

Lids are brittle, broke within a day of getting it home. Bumped into something and cracked into multiple pieces. The main box is better, but without a lid, it's not much use.

This is the best product for storing papers. I fit letter size and with gentle folding so as not to crease I even store legal and tabloid size. and they stack nicely without falling into each other. very strong. water rppof, bug proof. it's just the best paper storage box on the market!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Giving These a Try

I was looking for this type of hanging file box to store my graduate school course notes in. After shopping the usual office supply stores and finding their selection costing more than I wanted to invest in the project, I came across the Sterilite model 1868 for a reasonable price. The quality wasn't the same as ones costing 2-3 times as much, but these are not designed for the abuse that offices give their files. So, I purchased four and packed them up. They are full and pretty heavy. Stacked three high in the closet. As others have noted, the lids are pretty flimsy, so we will see how they manage the weight over time. I may be pushing the limit on what this box and lid are designed to handle. Probably two high would be better, but don't have the space. I am hoping that being indoors in a climate controlled closet, they will last a few years. I am hoping not to find cracks and breaks.

Good product could be great

I bought these at a local store and they came with clear lids. I loved the fact that the clear box and lid allowed me to see which files were in which box at a glance. Now I can only find black lids and miss being able to evaluate the contents at a glance. Is there any possible way to order these with clear lids?

Organize papers

I love this file box. We call it the "fire box" in our home because if there were a fire, we know what to run and retreive first. The only thing that I would want more than this is the ability to have this be a drawer. Other than that, this file box stacks very well with the Sterilite family file boxes and it keeps hanging folders inside. There are grooves to have hanging folders stay put even through transportation elsewhere.
