lid does not fit over hanging filesI was told by the store that they will hold hanging files. It would appear that way since the edges were thick and double reinforced. It holds them just fine, but the lids have a flush fit to the long sides so they can't be placed over the hanging files.
The box needs to be designed better for assembly. All the sides fit too well, not taking wall thickness into account. As careful as I tried I still end up bending some panels during assembly, which weakens the integrity of the cardboard.

Classy look for piles of receipts!I have these for the past three years and buying 2019 today--my accountant insists I keep things for at least five years. Makes my storage area look great and I can find things in an instant. Would love more distinctive looks for other kinds of storage. Stripes, dots, colors any graphic would be a great help for those of us with stacked basement areas or off-site storage.

Easy to Know The Year for Tax PurposesI've been using these boxes for the last 5 years to store receipts and tax information for our home-based business and the reason I use them is they don't look like any other storage box. With the year printed on them, it's easy to find older documents in case. They don't cost much more than a office supply store storage box and the quality is good, but for ease of knowing what's inside without looking inside, that's worth getting this box.

A Godsend! Thank you!I used to get boxes like this another retailer for years until for whatever stupid reason, it discontinued them. I was so devastated, because they couldn't have been more perfect for what I wanted, and I absolutely can't stand plastic.
I bitterly resigned myself to the fact that I'd never be able to buy these corrugated boxes again, so imagine my surprise, delight and relief when I found out that they were available at the Container Store. As soon as I learned about them, I bum rushed to not one, but two locations, bought several and went home grinning like the Cheshire Cat. Now all my vintage magazines and old books are neatly stored on my shelf instead of stacked on top of each other in an unsightly mess, and I couldn't be happier.

It's a boxIt's a box. It's sturdy. It has a top. It's good.
I got the internal dividers also but they only work for 9x11 papers if you have legal size papers, the dividers don't help. Not worth the money in my opinion.

Defective and Not Best at AllI was excited to have a sturdy well-designed box to store some paper in. But when I assembled the box I discovered it was defective or just straight up badly designed! 1. The directions are inaccurate/incomplete. 2. The two side liner panels were too long to fit squarely into the corner, and therefore bent crumpled when I tried to push them to the bottom. 3 The lid had tabs on one side to hold itself together (that's what the slits in the photo are) but not on the other side! So if I want the lid to stay together I'll have to tape it. Not very slick.
I expect this is an issue with quality control and there may have been other boxes to choose from in the store that were not defective, but I could not tell because the box is sold flat.

Best box, Really!I have purchased 100's of these over the years.
It is my go to storage/ moving box.
I love that there isn't any glue to attract bugs. They break down flat after using.
You do not need to tape these boxes for them to be secure for moving. They are really strong for very high stacks. If you storage is small this is your ideal vertical box for storage. Truly the BEST box, ever!

First and best purchase of the yearI started buying the Year Box a couple of years ago. I use one to stash gifts and special ornaments and mementos I collect during the year. I no longer have to wonder where I stuck something. Its in The Box. I also use a second box to store important papers for that year. It makes everything easy peasy and if it doesn't fit in the box, I probably don't need it, so it helps me weed and minimize clutter by year end.

Great Sturdy BoxI needed something affordable to organize my small studio and found these boxes at the Container Store. I was delighted that they are white, have lids, and are easily moved. Also, I try to be "green," so the fact that they are made from 100% recycled materials was the clincher. They are great for storage, hold a good amount of weight, and look better than most storage boxes, since they have no writing on them. I highly recommend these for affordable storage or moving purposes.

Perfect File Boxes!I've been keeping file boxes by year for a long time, but after the year is up they seem to disappear into the closets and it's really hard to find the right one when it's needed. This design with the year ALL OVER it and it BIG numbers is perfect! I keep last year's and this year's in my office closet and just with they'd go back to about 2000 with these! I'd like the retro versions!

Brilliant Idea!These "dated" banker boxes are fabulous for storing annual recipts and tax info or for memorabilia. I hope you make them for every year going forward, forever! I will buy them. I would even buy years going back in time and would re-box my annual tax receipts. I love that the print is BOLD and it is VERY clear what Year's information the box contains. Brilliant product!
Also, will the lid fit over letter-sized hanging file folders?

Asked by: Lyssa225
Yes, our Best Box is one of our favorite options for books, whether you're moving them or storing them. The sturdy, triple-wall construction has amazing weight capacity and resists crushing so it can be stacked four or five high. When not is use, it folds flat for compact storage until it is needed again.

How can I best ship this box?
Hello
I would like to ship this box, then keep the box as a storage box.
What is the best way to ship the box, considering it has open handles (where a small item could slip out) and a lid.
Is wrapping it in craft paper for shipping the best option?

We recommend to check with your carrier for a list of requirements for shipped packages.
