Thicker and Stronger

I ordered this product before because it was a nice size. This time around it was new and improved. Ver sturdy and thicker material. I will order more.

Good quality - Sturdy

This is a great portable file box. It is very sturdy. I love that it is clear too. Allows me to tape a label on the inside for quick reference. I have bought several over the past couple of years.

Convenient and Sturdy

I bought this file box to be able to separate certain types of documents from others filed in the first Iris file box I also bought at The Container Store. The box is just big enough to be useful while also being small enough to move easily and conveniently. I love the sturdy handle and the compartments for pens, paperclips, etc. I highly recommend the Iris Weathertight Portable File Box. I have three of them and just love them.

Just what I needed!

With the pretty blue hanging folders I placed inside, this translucent portable file box is better looking than the clunky black one it replaced. Filing seems less tedious! My only concern is that the folders do sometimes fall off the built-in rails - that's why I rated 4 out of 5 stars.

I am returning these

I bought two of these file boxes and must return both. the clasps on the front fall off nearly every time I open them. This happened from Day One! At first I thought it was my fault, that I wasn't opening them properly. But that is not the case. They are poorly designed and don't function well.

Like that its clear. I can see the contents.

I got the IRIS USA plastic Legal file storage box with organizer lid to use for paper storage at my home. I like that it’s clear in color and it allows me to see the contents. It is the size to hold hanging files too. It has a nice handle on top that folds down into the top to allow you to stack more boxes if desired.

Waterproof

I needed a file box for important papers so I found this box which was exactly the size I needed and I couldn't beat the price so without inspecting it, I bought it. 2 weeks after having it on a shelf in a closet, a water pipe burst and flooded that closet. Little did I know the file box is waterproof. It said it right on the sticker on the box, I just never noticed. Nothing in that box got a single drop off water, whilst most things in the closet were ruined. I'm SO glad I bought this file box.

Durable!

The file box is plastic, and about the thickness of your standard tote. The lid flips open and closed and has a plastic snap lock to keep the lid closed. I did Drop the box twice to see durability and it held up with no cracks or breakage. It fits the standard size file folders if you want to put your stuff in file folders (not included) I have been able to hold a lot of documents and even a couple photos that I don’t want anything to happen too, and it still has plenty of space for me to add even more important documents. It is lightweight and easy to hold, while being empty and it will just depend on how much you add to it how heavy it would be, for me I am able to easily pull it out of my closet anytime I need to get something out of it or add something new to it. I do recommend this box if you are looking for a lightweight, durable, standard plastic file box.

Nice durable see through box with handle

I bought this nice see through filing tote to store my boxes of Christmas Cards and letterhead in. It was hard to find a see through tote this size that was durable (especially the top) and affordable. Maybe because of the pandemic and that supply chain issues are still going on, but I couldn't find that many plastic file totes out there and what I did find had super whimpy tops. This filing tote was the exception. Two thumbs up.

Best Built with the Best Features!

I love these boxes! I purchased a total of 8 during the past 4 years. They are the best out there! I searched for a box with these features: Sturdy (durable) plastic, stackable, sturdy handle and reliable latch, not too big and not too small, not too heavy, convenient to haul from home to car to office, a place to afix a label on the front of the box, and a built-in storage space inside the lid for thumb drives, pens, paper clips, stickie notes, your I.D. or whatever you might need handy while working off-site like I do at archive libraries. This box has all that! It holds about 8-10 lbs. of letter-size files. I wish they made these in legal-size, too. Cons? Strong plastic smell initially, but I leave the lid open whenever I can the first few weeks to air that out (the files don't take-on that smell, just the box), and, occasionally, you’ll come across or receive a box (from online ordering) where the latch won’t latch; But that’s only happened once and I think it was because too much weight was placed on the box during shipping and packing and it bowed/tweaked the front of the file box just enough to cause the front to become concave and the latch mechanism couldn’t work effectively. I easily exchanged it for another! Buy these. They’re great! I hope they don’t discontinue them.
