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.

    Comments about Staples® Letter/Legal File Box, Clear:

    The "archives" of printed material our company has produced over the years was getting too big and showing wear. These bins have a built-in hanging file rail, which is exactly what we needed. They stack well, and will hold up much better than conventional boxes over time. It has also saved us some storage space, since they are about 50% bigger than the boxes we had been using.

      Comments about Staples® Letter/Legal File Box, Clear:

      I store our current year's books for each child in these boxes, by subject. I use some very decorative file folders to divide each subject. The only warning here - and it's a BIG one - is that it is deep and has slippery stacking, so I would recommend getting some framed hanging file pockets to keep everything in place.
      The boxes come in different colors (all see thru)so each child has their own color. Keeps our school books organized and easy to grab and go when we take school on the road. There's even enough room for my high schoolers load of books & binders.
      Great organizational value!
      Yes, the lids don't fit too tightly, but in our case that's good, even my little one can open it on his own.
      I didn't check off "durable" only because I want to reuse them every year and we don't know, yet, if they will hold up. So far so good. I bought them 5 months ago, my kids work out of them every day and so far, no scratches, scuffs, or cracks.

            • 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.

            • 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!
