The perfect fit
I love these boxes for storage of small and medium sized objects. They are great for the office and home. Building the boxes is easy, and the boxes are extremely durable and sturdy.

Not what they used to be
These Basic Duty file boxes are considerably thinner than the old 03325 boxes I purchased a few years ago and they don’t look like the image shown. The new boxes are so thin they can’t be assembled without bending and can’t hold much weight. Not recommended. One star; two at best.

Boxes and More Boxes
We really like the size and quality of these boxes for our needs. We needed to empty out a number of cabinets and these helped us to stay more organized. What's great, is you can disassemble after usage if needed for use on another project.

If you have a lot of things you need to box up, these are the best value for the price.

Misleading Photo of File Box
The file box multipack that I ordered online was model 33250 but when picked up was given Basic Duty boxes. This happened 2 times even with more than an hour of assistance from Staples Chat.
The 33250 file boxes are much sturdier and superior to the flimsy newer Basic Duty boxes. I believe the 33250 model has been replaced by the Basic Duty flimsy boxes.

Just OK
I found the corrugated cardboard boxes to be a bit lacking. The lid corners seem to have a tendency to tear. I ended up reinforcing mine with duct tape which also helps to keep the lid corners inside their slots. Instructions/diagrams to put the boxes together were easy to understand. A suggestion to Staples/manufacturer - these may be "economy" storage boxes but plea...

file box / Bankers box 15 pk (33250)
Cleaning out a file cabinet. Using boxes for storage. Great ultility. Don't overload. The 1st box took a little while to figure out how to fold. But once I figured out the trick, the rest were easy.

Left out in the rain .. topside plastic RIPPED!
This is not good. If the package top did not have a big rip it could have worked. All product damaged. Sometimes a second bag is added to make sure things do not get damaged.
