I HAVE 9 OF THESE SET UP AND THEY ARE AN EXCELLENT WAY OF STORING FILING BOXES. THE ONLY DRAW BACK IS THAT THEY TAKE ABOUT 2-3 HOURS TO ASSEMBLE (THEY GET EASIER TO SET UP THE MORE YOU BUILD, AFTER BULIDING 9 OF THEM, I CAN ASSEMBLE ONE IN JUST UNDER AN HOUR). THIS IS THE BEST WAY TO ORGANISE AND STORE ALL YOUR CARDBOARD FILING BOXES. I DO RECOMMEND YOU PURCHASE THE "Fold-A-Tote 9-Gallon Storage Bins" TO STORE YOUR BOXES IN. THEY ARE MADE UP OF DURABLE VINYL WITH CARRYING HANDLES AND HELP KEEP OUT CRITTERS AND INSECTS, ESPECIALLY IF YOU STORE THEM IN A GARAGE OR OTHER STORAGE FACILITY.

I was disappointed in the product but assembled it anyway to see if it worked better than it looked. I was quite careful assembling it but found it to be too wobbly to consider using. The product must be secured to a wall to keep it from tipping over and this significantly limits its usefulness. Returned this product and purchased a 5 shelf stainless steel shelving unit with wheels for less money at a warehouse store. Staples really blew it on this product. The product is cheap and has significant limitations (e.g., lengthy assembly time, need to secure to wall to keep from tipping over, cheap materials, etc.) [...]
Comments about Albern Enterprises 18-File Box Storage System:
I have always stored holiday and household items in file boxes, but could never get them organized in my storage locker. This is perfect!! I have tripled my useable space. I live in a very small apt, and this is exactly what I needed. I can't lift heavy bins, but now that I have things in small file boxes I can always get to what I want! Happy, Happy, Joy, Joy!!! 5 Stars at $50, I paid [$]
Comments about Albern Enterprises 18-File Box Storage System:
This storage unit DEFINATELY needs to be anchored to the wall. Great consept. We had boxes, boxes everywhere. Now they are neatly organized and easy to get to. It is a great solution to being able to retrieve boxes without lifting others to get to the one you want. Prevents boxes from getting crushed. Thinking about getting one for use in my garage.
Comments about Albern Enterprises 18-File Box Storage System:
I wanted to try the "order online and then go to the store to pick it up" option. Horrible experience. The product was shippped (I guess), my credit card was charged, but Staples never informed me to come and pick up the product. The first I knew about it was an email asking me to rate this purchase.
After researching the product you are unable to just the Leave the top off. The product is made PVC and all holes are already drilled to place item togehter.

Q:
Can you put this system on wheels so you can roll it to move if needed?
Asked on 6/12/2010 by Anonymous from Jacksonville, NC
No - it must be fastened to a wall as it could tip over when one of the top boxes are removed. With all the weight it holds it would not be sturdy enough to roll around. If it was bolted to 1/2" plywood and you made a base it may be sturdy enough but I wouldn't chance it.
