Great product-does what you need it to do, December 16, 2010
This review is from: Bankers Box R-Kive Heavy-Duty Storage Boxes, Letter/Legal, White/Black, 12 Pack (00724 ) (Office Product)
I am moving at the end of the month, and I needed some solid, stackable, boxes to store 3 file cabinets worth of records. These boxes are perect!
It literally took me 20-30 seconds to put each box together, and another 20-30 seconds to put each lid together. Once assembled, I packed them to capacity with folders and files, and then stacked them 3 high (I could have actually stacked them 4 or 5 high, but I have the space, so I figured I wouldn't push it).
At the end of the day, these weren't that much more expensive than regular old packing boxes you can get at Home Depot or Lowe's, and they are much more suitable for storage of files and folders. They are shaped perfectly, so you can store letter size files if you place them in one direction, or legal size files if you place them in the other direction. I did find cheaper Banker's Boxes elesewhere, but.......they were not the max strength kind. They were the "light duty" kind, where stacking is not recommended.
Overall, if you need reliable record storage, you will like these boxes.
One thing to note....while the boxes fit letter or legal size folders perfectly, you cannot store hanging folders. They are too wide. I was fine with that, because I just threw all the empty hanging folders into a larger packing box. If you want a complete portable storage solution where you can place the hanging folder and the actual folder containing your papers, then you'll need to get one of those plastic file cabinets that can accommodate the hanging folders. I looked at those, but they are smaller, twice as expensive, and not stackable. I might use one of those if I had a few folders I needed to carry around with me on a regular basis, but for moving, or more permanet storage, I think the Banker's Boxes are more suitable.

Great Universal Storage, August 6, 2010
This review is from: Bankers Box R-Kive Heavy-Duty Storage Boxes, Letter/Legal, White/Black, 12 Pack (00724 ) (Office Product)
I use these for short-term and long-term storage. Very well constructed and reusable. One tip: I place clear packing tape over the label area. Then I use label maker labels on top of the clear tape. This way I can relabel the boxes without ripping the paper finish.

Sturdy and easy to assemble, October 18, 2008
This review is from: Bankers Box R-Kive Heavy-Duty Storage Boxes, Letter/Legal, White/Black, 12 Pack (00724 ) (Office Product)
I was looking for boxes that could be used both for moving and for storage. The Bankers Boxes proved to be very easy to assemble, it takes no more that 10 seconds with a little practice. I could fill them with heavy books "to the brim" and they hold very well. Since they are stackable, I can store a lot of things while using little space.
