StorePAK Eco Archive 20 Pack / Storage Cardboard Boxes & Lids - Easy to Assemble, Home Storage, Office & Moving House ,33 Litres - H26 x W34 x D43cm, Brown

perfect storage boxes for keeping your belongings safe - easy to assemble - but do need extra strengthening at the base of the box (I used duck tape) other than that they are great

Don’t use for anything heavy, but easy to assemble and great for lightweight items

I am very pleased with the set of boxes. At first I struggled with the fitting together of the box but eventually I solved it. And these boxes are much stronger than some of the others. The size is practical. Suitable for books and wrapped framed photos. Good having the handles cut. Easily made lid which fits

I am not particularly impressed by these archive storage boxes as, even with copious amounts of parcel tape, they are not very strong. When filled with books or papers the hand holes often tear when they are picked up. They have little structural strength when stacked and that is probably because, like all archive boxes, the two part (base and lid) construction adversely affects rigidity. A better solution for me is to replace them with similar sized moving boxes, and that is what I have done.

I purchased these boxes to store A4 papers (printed pdfs) and magazines so ideally I needed a base that was 30x42 cm, the size of two magazines flat alongside one another, or roughly A3. These boxes were claimed to be " H26 x W34 x D43cm, offering you an internal capacity of up to 33 litres" so I figured they would be ideal. When they arrived and I put them together I found two magazines could not lie alongside one another in the base, the box was not wide enough. The internal dimensions were 32.5x40 cm and the external dimensions were not much more at 33x40.5 cm, so what happened to the 34x43 cm claim? The cardboard is very thin so the handles threaten to tear when you pick the box up using them even when it is only part full, but you don't want to be using the handles anyway, you need to carry the box supporting its base, because I didn't and everything dropped out of the bottom (yes I did put it together properly, the instructions are very simple). In all honesty these are not very durable boxes and I doubt you could use them multiple times. On the underside of the box "PLEASE NOTE THIS BOX IS SUITABLE FOR EVENLY DISTRIBUTED CONTENTS UP TO 10 KILOGRAMS IF NOT WE RECOMMEND USING SEALING TAPE" Does that mean if the box is not suitable for 10 kg they recommend using sealing tape, because it isn't, I had much less weight in the one that fell apart. And using sealing tape sort of makes them one-use items, they are hard to dismantle and flat pack for storage for another occasion if you have had to tape them together in the first place. I am now shopping for more durable boxes that really are A3 size inside.

Used for moving house, generally good, two handles broke but possibly boxes were overloaded.

It is only when you have opened the 20-pack that you find a recommended weight limit of 10 kg and having to tape the joints if heavier. No mention of this in the sales blurb and is a huge drawback with storing books and files in particular. And not at all helpful for re-using the box. Oversold; flimsy construction; unsuitable for many storage needs, and a waste of valuable time in returning them and waiting for a stronger product to arrive.

Delivery on time with full care of packing. Product with out demage. Very helpful wih sorting and organising any kind of stuff. Thank you
