Storage File Box
Good Product and Quality - Again, the price on-line was less than what I was charged in the store. Not sure why - Store Personnel would not match the on-line price. New London CT store - this is unclean with personnel that do not care about the customer. I will only order on-line.

Absolute Garbage
DON’T BUY! The first delivery arrived broken and to Staples credit the replacement came quickly but the second time they were also broken even though the box was in good shape. The plastic is super thin and doesn’t come close to the quality of similar ones bought from Staples previously.

Versatile tote
These totes are great for more than just files. Great size - not too heavy when filled with stuff. Stackable and seal keeps the mice out.

Broken on Arrival
They're exactly what I was looking for- BUT they arrived damaged. Two boxes and one lid all had cracks and chunks missing. Not happy.

Hanging files boxes are great
These hanging file boxes are perfect for storing some of my old but important files. I love them and they are made of sturdy plastic. I love that they have a lid too.

Also Great as a File Archive Box
This is the industry standard in water-resistant hanging file boxes. It will not support the weight of a human but is more than adequate for preserving paper files. We have been using this particular product, from Staples, for over a decade.

Very useful hanging file box
This box is the right size for holding hanging folders with documents in them. It fits in my shelves and can be stored with other boxes when filled. The price and quality are good.

Functional box, but the lid is not very secure
This file box does the job for storing documents, but the lid tends to pop off when the box is lifted, which makes it less practical for moving or stacking. It’s fine for shelf storage, just don’t rely on the lid to stay put.

Very brittle! Don't buy
I'm very disappointed with this model (ST57623). One box cracked when removing from package. Two shattered when I tripped over them the first day. I thought these would be like the 4 boxes I purchased from Staples several years ago (don't know that model #) which have never been damaged after being transported/stacked many times over the years. Hopefully I can get a...
