What can I say? It's just a cardboard storage box! BUT, I think it's a very GOOD storage box.

The thing that impressed me the most about it was that I was able to stack these about seven or eight boxes high, full of heavy books, and still not crush the box on the bottom of the stack! THAT's amazing! You have to carefully line up the edges to accomplish that, but I didn't think that it would have been possible to stack more than four boxes this way.

The boxes are easy to assemble in just a few seconds and there's no waste other than the plastic belt that holds the package together.

So, yes, I would definitely recommend this product. I've given it four stars instead of five only because to merit five stars in my mind, a product has to be truly amazing. You know, for a storage box, it needs something extra, like it has to also serve coffee or shampoo your carpet for you. Or your wife has to notice how decorative it is. These boxes are highly functional and well made, but they're still not quite at five stars. But four stars is as good as a storage box can get, I think.

As I am moving, I have bought hundreds of these boxes in the last 3 months. What I am noticing in the last batch is that the places where it is supposed to be scored, so that one can push it apart, are no longer well scored, so the box tears.
Also, the parts no longer fit together as they did not 3 months ago.
Either, as my headline suggests, Staples has outsourced this to a place with no quality control or Staples itself has decided to save a few pennies at the customer's expense by not doing quality control itself.
It's a shame, because this box is a unique product, but not so useful if it is not well made.

          Using 180 of these for a move was a pain to build 180 boxes but they are very well built and worth it. They don't stay in the best shape if its for moving things but to store away files and stuff they are great. Good product, will use more in the future.

            We use these boxes for storing our closed legal files. They are terrific. Easily numbered and marked to locate the contents quickly. You can easily stack 3 or 4 boxes on top of each other without any bulging or bending of the lower boxes. I've hunted around and can't find any better product for the price.

                  I've been able to load at least 50 pounds of hardcover books into these cartons. The boxes were stacked at least 3 high and then transported over steps/concrete walkways on a collapsible dolly.

                  Dimensions •10"H x 12"W x 15"D

                  They are extremely lightweight! I am not positive about the weight of the empty box, or the 10 pack of boxes by themself, but I could pick them up with one hand and no issue.

                  The boxes hold quite alot. I used these to clean up/organize our home office, and stored books in them. I was able to lift and move the filled boxes with no issue, no tearing.

                  They are light but strong.

                  A:

                  I had this problem with one batch of boxes and took them back. The next batch was back to normal. I suspect Staples found out that their new manufacturer was not up to snuff. Also, I use a utility knife and score the perforated line before I tear them. I've found it simply tears cleaner. A slightly better perforation would be nice though.
