Not as good as archival photo boxesI have several of the archival photo boxes and they are very nice, with reinforced edges. I was not as pleased with the archival legal-size box, as it arrived flat and did not have the reinforcement. When I put it together, the gray paper separated from the other layers of paper on the tabs and some of the sides. I'm sure it will protect my papers, but is not worth the price.

Did the trickSurprised how much I loved the file folders. I sorted photos and documents and was able to label one folder per family member. I was originally concerned about the contents "slumping" in the box and/or curling at the bottom, but the file folders helped prevent this.

Hidden benefitPurchased these for large family photos. I was concerned about not having a rigid four-sided storage box, but the ability to lower one of the long sides (as shown in the product photo) allows for better access to documents. In other words, our photos were such a perfect fit, without this feature, you'd have to use your fingernail to lift the photo out.

Peace of mindWhen my Grandmother passed away last year, we began to clear out the attic of her house. We found a couple of boxes of photographs from the last 150 years. My Grandfather did genealogy and photography, so you can imagine the volume. I am very glad to know these photos can be stored in a preservation box, to preserve them for future generations.

Perfect for My AlbumsI had been storing my record albums in a moving box for almost 30 years - not the best solution. The Upright Archival Storage Box is the perfect size for albums and much more attractive and space-saving.

Great storage boxesGot my storage boxes on time and they arrived in good condition. They were perfect, and I will be buying more. Using them to store taxes, investments, home/insurance documents. Helps being organized, they look good, and fit good in my safe. I will label each box. Just wish they had an area for a label.
Would recommend them to my friends.

Function over beautyWe have bought several of these for friends who have had babies and our own children. It is great that it will hold documents for the duration of their childhood to hold all of the important papers and photos that they collect and hold dear. I will admit they are not the most attractive, I wish they came in another color, even black or white would be nice, but these are the best archival boxes for their size and affordability that we could easily find.

Satisfied!I bought this to store old photos in. It is really sturdy and looks pretty nice. My only issue was that as my husband was putting it together (it does not come assembled), some of the cardboard started to tear a little. But overall, easy assembly. Would recommend!

Looks cheap and clunkyI picked these out online, but when I saw them in person, I did not like them. I'm sure for photo storage purposes, they will protect them, but aesthetically, they were different than the photo. the edges/flap were bulky and stuck out. They just looked a little cheap, so for $25 each, I felt like it wasn't a good buy. I ended up getting 2 "Marten Office Storage Boxes" for the same price as one of these, and I think they look a lot nicer/cooler.

Boxes - sturdy, but not what I expectedThese boxes arrived flat, and needed to be folded into place, like a banker's box - as such, they kind of look like an assembled banker's box -- sturdy and practical, but not good for display on an open shelf. Not that there's anything wrong with that -- it's just not what I expected. They'd be perfect for stashing important papers in a closet or other out-of-the-way place.

Would purchase againThese are sturdy, easy to assemble boxes. I had ordered one a few years ago and have filled it up with family tree photos and info, and needed to start another one. I purchased the legal size and have found it to be a great size. I am confident that this box will hold up, and would not hesitate to order another, or any of the archival products at your store. I ordered an archival photo album as well.

Great heirloom organization toolOur family has heirloom clothing articles preserved in the archival storage boxes, so it just made sense to purchase the archival document storage boxes as I sort out the important family "paper" keepsakes. These boxes are easy to put together/use and of good quality. The Container Store assists in what would otherwise be a difficult process of sorting/organizing and purging. I highly recommend the archival box line.

I use one of these to store our families memorabilia for the year, ie. concert ticket, special birthday cards, etc. I have the file folders labeled inside of the box corresponding to what type of memorabilia it is so that it's easy to transfer to permanent storage at the end of the year and keep everything organized all year long.

Superb Photo Storing BoxesLove my new silver archival folios. They are sufficiently sized to hold many precious photos of various sizes. I wish it was deeper, but no matter. I bought two and wish I had bought 3 or 4 . Superb for 8 x 10, 11 x 14 and the like. Really wish Container Store would carry archival divider sheets to go with this folio.

I thought these were good until I found betterI thought these were great boxes when I first got them. I store original illustrations in them. However, I ordered some from an art supplier, and now I can say that these are unreasonably bulky, cumbersome and a hassle to put together. I prefer now the kind with metal edges. They arrive already assembled and don't stick when I remove one from a stack.

Great storage optionI bought this to store a large family Bible inherited from Great Aunts. It worked quite well for the oversized book and protects it. The box is very sturdy which was important because this old Bible with early family records in it is an oversized very heavy book. Very good storage option for an excellent price.
Is this large enough to hold a newspaper folded in half? (Standard fold as it comes, as you would see in a newspaper box.)
Asked by: ProductQuery
Thank you for the response, @ContainerStore. I recommend clarifying the description as it currently states, "It can also be used for magazines, books, photos or folded newspapers." This could be mistakenly interpreted to indicate the box will fit newspapers as they come folded, not requiring additional folds.

Multiple large scrap / photo albums
I have inherited about 2 dozen very old albums and want to protect them. I can't afford 18 - 20$ per box. Is there any type of larger box that I can place a bunch of them in and save $$?
Asked by: SCorral
One of these boxes can hold up to 30 LPs, including the covers, so you could hold all 2 dozen of the albums in one box.
We have other boxes to hold records in as well:

How many newspaper can i fit in 1 box?
I would like to know this so I can estimate how many storage boxes I need.
Asked by: pleiades
The amount of newspapers that can be stored in our Archival Document Storage Boxes depends on the fullness (number of pages) of the newspaper being stored and the number of times it is folded. Either size box provides approximately 2-3/4" of interior storage height.
