Snap-N-Store Magazine File, 12.25 x 9.75 x 3.75 Inches, Back To School Supplies for College Students, Black and White Scroll (SNS01837)

Sometimes when shopping on Amazon, you never quite know the quality of what you are going to get. Rest assured, these are absolutely fantastic. Where have these been all my life? I will be buying more.

These are pretty sturdy but snapping the bottom was a bit difficult.

First, I stopped by IKEA because they have some similar boxes and I wanted a bunch to organize all my stuff on an open shelf, so it would look nice. Well the ones at IKEA were junk- just thin cardboard and the displays were falling apart. Then I looked at the organization stores but everything decent looking is really expensive.So I decided to take a chance and order a bunch of different snap-n-store boxes and I'm so glad I did! These are nice and sturdy and will hold up WAY better than the IKEA boxes. They're really well-made considering how affordable they are. Plus, I like that they're made of 50 percent recycled materials. I am pleased as punch!I see there are other people who aren't as happy. I think you need to have realistic expectations. These are not industrial-level containers. If you're expecting a $25 box for $5, you will be disappointed. If you're expecting a $5 box, you'll be very satisfied. I priced a lot of storage boxes. I didn't want to spend hundreds of dollars on storage boxes. But I wanted something sturdy enough to hold up to light handling and these fit the bill perfectly.They are not made of just cardboad, as some people described. They are fiberboard with a plastic coating, so you'll be able to wipe them with a damp cloth while cleaning. The plastic gives them more durability.That being said, these boxes are not completely rigid so if you're going to store really heavy stuff (files, photo albums) and you want to move them around, you might want to with one of the more expensive (less cool looking) file boxes made of thick rigid plastic or metal.

Taller than expected, but sturdy construction with a clean look. Just what I wanted.

I have gone through a lot of magazine file boxes in my day and these are my favorites so far -- the perfect combination of durability and good design combined with reasonable price. I use them to store papers, documents, and pamphlets used for my research and they are great for this task, as the large size helps you store bulky items that don't always fit in standard file boxes. They are actually large enough that they can hold standard 8.5x11 papers either upright or on their side -- in other words, the front-to-back length is over 11 inches. Assembly is very easy. They arrive folded flat. You simply open them up, bend the bottom flaps down, and snap them together. Thereafter, they stand on their own and stay together. The durability is outstanding. I have used other file boxes that resemble cheap cardboard. These have a very sturdy feel and have so far withheld a lot of abuse. They have nice metal label holders on both front and back, and a nice round hole to pull them off the shelf when they are full. Overall, I would say these are the perfect file boxes for bankers, teachers, or anyone who needs to store bulk files on the shelf in a tidy way. Very pleased.

The snaps are very heavy duty. But to the point that you can't easily get them together. They were offset so I had to hold it on a very awkward angle to put them together. Since the snaps do not sit on the bottom, you can't just hold the unit on a table and push down with something. Also the "Heavy-duty fiberboard with leather-like water-resistant PVC laminate" is crap. The fiberboard is basically just 3 sheets of paper glued together and the PVC laminate is the only structural item. I would highly suggest you look at a solid PVC to hold items. See the pictures. Overall, it looks like a really nice item, just poorly executed.

Pros: bigger than a lot of these products so can handle extra and oversize items. Removable labels good for organization. Nice look, very professional. Fairly sturdy construction (for non-wood or other hard materials) and can be collapsed for easy storage.Cons: a little tricky getting label out, you might need something a little sharp, like the end of a paperclip. Large size does not fit on some bookshelves, so check your sizes before ordering. Because they are collapsible, are not quite as sturdy as a solid construction (depending on the material).Overall: I like these and have bought them more than once. Would buy again.

I wanted some sturdy and stylish magazine files and found these and gave them a try. The bottom panel is in two pieces and has one metal snap in the middle to keep them together. After putting my books and magazines in them, I found the bottom can collapse but I don't move these around a lot so that doesn't matter much to me. When I do have to move them, I keep one hand on the snap. Overall I'm pleased with them but I would probably pass on them if you have to move them around a lot. They are cardboard after all.

Llegaron muy rápido. Son bonitas a la vista y prácticas para doblar y desdoblar en caso de no usarse. De modo que se pueden guardar o usar. Tienen un espacio para poner etiqueta de qué contiene, y se ven bonitas.

Es ideal para lo que la necesitaba, organizar pero a la vez no desentonar con el ambiente, trabajo en el area de diseño y mi revistero es el mas bonito de toda la oficina.Super recomendada.

Es bastante amplia (la versión JUMBO), así que pude guardar todos los papeles que requería organizar y hasta me sobró espacio.Ahora no se que poner ahí.Me encantó.

Excelente archivero. La verdad me sorprendió la calidad de los materiales, y el precio fue realmente muy bajo. El envío fue a tiempo.

Muy resistente es como cartón.. el color es lindo igual al d la imagen..
