I run a small business and I'm on the road alot and I'm always buying material and getting gas and this helped me keep everything together as far as recite
The compartment on the top that holds pens paperclips sticky note pads and other small office supplies falls completely open spilling everything in it when you try to access the folders and you let the top rest against the back while get files out.
This file box is excellent for both daily use and storage. Each year I store the box for tax receipt storage and then begin a new one for the current year in order to catagorize the keeping of household receipts. I use the larger boxes for my company receipts.
