Review: EXACTLY WHAT WAS NEEDED - I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'D DO WITHOUT THESE BOXES. THEY COME IN SUCH A VARIETY OF SIZES AND MEASUREMENTS AND ARE ABLE TO ACCOMMODATE A GREAT RANGE OF CONTENTS INCLUDING THOSE WHICH ARE HEAVY. THEY ARE WELL MADE AND THE LOCKING CLIPS AND LIDS ARE STURDY. EACH BOX CONTAINS A ONE-PAGE, TWO-SIDED CATALOGUE OF AVAILABLE BOXES AND THEIR SIZES WHICH MAKES ORDERING OR RE-ORDERING SIMPLE.
Review: Tough, versatile, well-designed storage boxes - I've got a lot of these boxes in various sizes; well-made in a thick, tough plastic (I think they should survive many years of use and abuse) well-designed and reasonably priced. I particularly like the design of the handles which secure the lid to the box; they clip on to the lid to hold it firmly in place and are robust enough to tote a full box around by. That's good design!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Tough, versatile, well-designed storage boxes
*by K***R on 23 June 2025*

I've got a lot of these boxes in various sizes; well-made in a thick, tough plastic (I think they should survive many years of use and abuse) well-designed and reasonably priced. I particularly like the design of the handles which secure the lid to the box; they clip on to the lid to hold it firmly in place and are robust enough to tote a full box around by. That's good design!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It's worth the price
*by R***Y on 12 May 2025*

Great storage capacity and very sturdy. The lid shuts pretty tight and carrying it around is good. Stacks on each other perfectly. It's definitely a slightly bit pricier than other plastic boxes, but you're paying for good quality and longevity with these boxes.
