I bought the prior incarnation for my dorm last year, and I liked the design so well I bought another when I filled that one up. I was happy to find that they still stack together very well, even though they were purchased about 18 months apart, and while my local store didn't have the color I first bought (a neat aqua green) this new box is a blue that I also like.

The semi-transparency is great for letting me see what I have in it. I use hanging files for my schoolwork, computer manuals, important docs, etc. and the Staples kind fit perfectly. The only downside is the lid; it bends very easily so don't stack anything heavy in the middle of it. It also doesn't close extremely tight, but it does the job.

When I bought the box there was a slight sale in-store, and I would recommend waiting for one of those, as it's a great deal.

          I have bought this file box over and over again. Not only do I use it for file storage, but also to store pictures and clothes. They stack nicely with the built-in track plus they are not too heavy for an older lady to handle when full.
          It is nice to make adhesive labels for the outside of the container to remind you of what you have packed away inside, especially if it is clothes. You may label by size, season, long or short sleeves, capris, jeans, etc. Also by type of item such as receipt, manual and warranty information, utilities, just to name a few. Also, they keep your stored items clean and dry. I like the straight side design.

            How can you write 400 words about a file box? It holds hanging file folders full of paper. 400 words is more than one should need to read about a plastic box.

            • Q:

              How does this hold a legal sized document in a file folder? A legal document is 14" long, this box is 13-7/8" on the outside of the box. Plus is appears to get even smaller at the bottom.

                A:

                For the Staples Letter/Legal File Box to hold legal sized documents you would need to store them sideways rather than front to back.

                This box is intended for use with wheels. I would recommend item number 850641 or item number 851577, as these items are rolling file carts. To place an order, please contact us at 1-800-333-3330.

            • Q:

              I need a file storage tub to hold letter-size hanging files. The ones in the store are too shallow--the file folders drag on the bottom of the tub when moved, detaching the hanger. Is there a deeper tub where my hanging files can be suspended above the tub bottom, actually hanging?

                A:

                Nille - Letter-size files hang across the width; legal-size files hang across the length - so you can hang one size or the other, but not both. Wait until Staples has a 1/2 price sale, then you can get one for each size file!
