File madnessI purchased these file boxes to store paperwork that we all need to keep but don't necessarily need to access every single day. They are working out really well. I like that the same size box accommodates letter or pesky legal size file folders. I also like the translucent quality which allows me to insert a slip of paper with labels identifying the contents. They are securely stackable which is a bonus in earthquake territory for those inevitable little "bumps" we get from time to time.

Well designed and sturdy - love them!Very pleased with these boxes! I thought at first they were a bit pricey, but they are so worth it. They are really well constructed and they seal very effectively. They hold a lot but even fully loaded, they are still not too heavy to be carried. These are perfect for important files and keepsakes which should be protected from water, pests, and other hazards. We have to leave some of our things in a storage unit for a couple of months, and I feel very confident that these boxes will protect those things we've put inside them. I've returned twice already to buy more!

Saved the kids' artworkI cannot say enough great things about this. It saved my kids' grade school art work from being ruined by spraying water. The papers were in the basement in these boxes and the pipe burst above them in the kitchen. Precious papers that cannot get wet. I keep photos in them too. Haven't tested it in standing water for a long period of time though.

Great Product Against Moisture & VerminI always purchase these products when they go on sale and have at least 25 of them in various sizes. This size I purchased for our pantry. Apparently, the mice that somehow get in can gnaw through the 1/2 gallon size of Soft Soap. What a mess to clean up. Now these items are in these containers.
We have so many things that we must store them under the covered deck steps where there is moisture an mice. I have used them for the last 10 years and they are great. The items I place in them, including PC DVD blanks, parts and accessories are as fresh as when they were packed. My husband also has all his books stored in them until we have our office finished. I highly recommend these priducts.

More Than File Storage!These are useful for many applications. These are a few of the things I have used them for: photos, photo albums, small mementos, sheet music. Our house is over 100 years old with very limited storage. We have a climate controlled storage unit and these seal up tightly, are water and rodent tight. They are quite sturdy and stack nicely. The thing I like the best is their size. I have a bad back and even when one of these is full, I can still pick it up and carry it around. I have purchased these both in store and on-line. If you order the case of six, that is how they are shipped. Mine were received in perfect condition from UPS.

Best file storage box I have foundI needed safe and secure storage for the contents of my file cabinet during a relocation and subsequent storage and found these boxes - I especially like the fact that they keep out moisture as well as pests. After trying them out at home I just bought more of them on the last day of the office sale!

Great box for organizing papersI bought a couple of them to store all of my loose papers, and they are great! The size is great for standard notebooks, printouts, and books. I like how they are weathertight so I can feel comfortable putting them in the garage. The lids snap close well, and I hope they will last. They stack well too.

So Far So GoodI've loaded up the containers and put them in my "conditioned" storage unit. I purchased more thinking I could be store moisture sensitive items in my garage which has a lot of moisture living in Florida.
Not having to wrap the container in a plastic bag and hope it would not break or tear and therefore allow moisture to enter was a great relief. the 4 snap locking devices appear to be good at keeping the top down and the moisture out.
Time will tell if they have in fact kept the moisture out.

fantastic solutionLimited space in office area requires garage storage for documents, I have an excellent 5-drawer lateral file there. Unfortunately mice found a way into the garage and the file cabinet and proceeded to soil many files and chew on some. These boxes fit two to a drawer and allow me to return to storage in the garage instead of tripping over boxes in my living area. They are a joy.
Be sure to check dimensions. File drawers vary.

2nd Purchase of this File BoxA few years back I bought 8 of these, I recently came back to get 3 more. These stack well, fit file folders in both directions, and are fairly sturdy. Although the handles don't always fit perfectly, but I found if twist the tops a little it helps to get them snug. Overall, a very good product.

It does not. But the bin itself has a lip you can carry it by. They are very strong and sturdy.

What file folders go with these boxes?
Asked by: Ashguildner
They will hold regular files on the short side and legal on the long side. There are grooves on all 4 sides to hold the hanging file "ears". The folders you get from title companies when you have a real estate transaction fit very nicely the long way. Hope this helps!

What are the bottom dimensions? Are they 14" x 18" as stated?
I'm concerned those may be the dimensions for the widest part on top. And I need a container with an 18 inch bottom length to lay things flat that are 17.5 long. Thanks!
Asked by: LGinPA
inside dimensions are 14 3/4 x 11 3/4. I think 14x18 refers to the overall size with the lid on.

Will this fit 14x14 papers?
Asked by: CS8791
I don't think so ... not laying flat.
inside dimensions - 11 3/4 x 14 3/4 base with a vertical height of 9 1/2 to the hanging ledge and 10 1/4 to the inside top of the box. (not sure how much if any the lid impacts the box when on ...)

Will these boxes protect from clothes moths?
I have a lot of wool yarn and want to store it properly. Clothes moths are very tiny.
Asked by: Misty22
They seem very air tight so I would think so. There are other Weathertight boxes available at The Container Store now in many sizes/shapes that might work better than a file box with a track at the top.

How much weight will the bottom box support? (E.g. if 5 or 6 boxes are stacked on top of each other)
Asked by: frankshankly
I'm not a student of mechanics or physics, but it seems like all the weight isn't resting on the bottom box. If you have files and they are "hanging", I think that changes the weight distribution. These are very sturdy and I think the smaller size makes them able to hold more. I have had the old Rubbermaid totes that were at the bottom of the stack, crack. Hope this helps.
