5 Star Archive Boxes with Lids and Handles (10 Pack), 321x392x291mm Red/White Storage Box Strong Cardboard Storage Solution

I have just taken delivery of a pack of ten of these boxes, and I have to say, I am very pleased with them. I have been sorting out some of my books, and I wanted a neat and cost effective way of storing them (and packaging some to go to a boot fair). These boxes fit the bill admirably. They are a good size, easy to assemble and seem very strong. I've packed 35 paperbacks in one, and could get in a few more, but didn't want to make it too heavy for me to lift easily; and have fitted a dozen very thick hardbacks in another. Again, I could get more hardbacks in but was watching the weight! They are also quite attractive and will help keep books clean and neat when I store them away. Altogether a good buy - recommended.

It’s amazing how strong these boxes are. They’re really easy & fast to assemble (from flat pack), they’re light and don’t feel as robust as 5 star boxes of the past (I’ve had the early ones for 21yrs) . But they are - provided you fill them equally & lift them uniformly & never kneel or sit on them! A really cheap way of organising storage.

Boxes easy to assemble, and the fact that instructions were printed on each one was really useful. A good size for documents and books, sturdy and easy to carry. My one comment would be that they can't be stacked more than two high as they do buckle at the corners and the lids quite quickly. Other than that, no complaints at all - perfect for house move.

These are business-grade, reusable boxes which can be folded up and stored as needed and redeployed several times. They are strong enough to hold over twenty-five pounds of books each,yet easy to carry. Each box has instructions for the clever orgami-like construction printed on the bottom; they are pretty much idiot-proof even for one as challenged by such as I. If you are moving house or office and need solid boxes for removal and storage, these are well worth the investment. The delivery response was very businesslike; on one occasion I had these at s/r w/in 36 hours. We used over fifty of these recently to move a professional academic library and had zero failures.

Speedy delivery and good value.

Good VFM. Used to empty bookshelves of our fiction, then given to local library. Then reused as storage boxes placed in loft. Right size to handle and not too heavy when filled with individually heavy items - like books. It's surprising how easy it is to fill 15 boxes. Good quality, sturdy, packed flat and very very quick and easy, intuitive assembly (nothing like following Ikea instructions at all!). Great way to de-clutter your home of smaller items.

I love these boxes, once you make one up you think omg this is confusing, but after you work one out you realise it's easy to do. Strong boxes perfect for moving house. Holds a good amount of weight, I filled one with 5 full lever arch folders the large size. No packing tape required. A good price, I can't find like for like any cheaper online. Great delivery. Ordered another 2 packs. Thanks. Does what it's supposed to.

Reasonable quality but not very strong. I used mine for old paperwork and files and stacked one on top of another in my loft, the bottom one crumpled under the weight.

Déception à la réception vu que je m'attendais à du papier listing, mais retourner le même jour au final, il semblerai que ces boites de rangements soit pratique et grande pour bien classer et faire de la place.

Ich hatte mir schon überlegt, ob ich überhaupt 2 Sterne geben sollte, denn die Boxen halten nicht was sie versprechen. Schon der Zusammenbau war fummelig. Zunächst orientierte ich mich an der Beschreibung und bin schon daran gescheitert. Als bekennender Ikea-Fan sollte das Zusammfalten einer solchen Box für mich theoretisch kein Problem darstellen. Nach meinem missglückten Versuch mich an der Beschreibung zu orientieren, half mein logischer Verstand. Beschreibung also ignorieren, dann funktioniert es ;) Als ich dann die Ordner hochkannt hineinstellte, war ich schon enttäuscht, denn der Deckel passt dann nicht richtig oben drauf. Er schwebt ein wenig darüber. Abhilfe hätte geschaffen, wenn die Kartons nur 2 cm höher wären. Wenn man dann 5 volle Ordner hineinstellt und den Karton transportiert hat, fängt sich der Karton ordentlich an den Außenseiten an zu wölben. Da der Deckel ja nicht richtig aufliegt, bringt die Oberseite natürlich keine Stabilität rein. Man müsste nun schon mit Klebeband hantieren, damit der Karton weniger instabil wird. Für mein Archiv dürfte es gerade so ausreichen, aber zufrieden ist was anderes. Künftig werde ich mich nach Kunststoff-Versionen umsehen.
