Snap-N-Store Magazine File, 12.25 x 9.75 x 3.75 Inches, White (SNS01818)

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.

plain cardboard won't last. Plastic looks cheap. This option looks nice while affordable. The snaps at the bottom give it sturdiness I wasn't expecting, and snapped together smoothly.Both front and back have card holders to identity the contents; I'm not using them because I was just looking for one. But it's nice to have.

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.

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.

These are total garbage. The underside/bottom snap-together flap broke the moment I assembled the first two. By the way, these aren't the original Snap-N-Store magazine folders; it's obvious the manufacturer has changed the design to save on snaps and cut a bunch of other made-in-China corners in the process. What was once a storied brand has now gone down the drain.

This holder fills a need - it is big enough to hold a regular loose-leaf notebook. I had things in the bookcase that didn't want to stand up alone, like bound soft-cover publications with spiral bindings, and loose-leaf notebooks that wouldn't stay fully closed. I found these on Amazon and they fill the need perfectly.They're big because of the things they hold, and are sturdy when on the shelf - you really don't need book-ends to keep them upright. They assemble quickly. They do the job.

I loved how easy they were to assemble. But, I kept getting faulty ones. Ones that didn't snap right, or the snap just fell out in my hand. Or was dinged or damaged in some other way. I don't like the value for the price. They do look nice when set on the shelf, but I don't think they are worth the price.

I recently moved, so I was in need of storage products. I decided to purchase a few items from Snap-N-Store, and I have found their items to be of excellent quality. The magazine files are just as great as the CD and DVD boxes. I also received six of them for about $12 or $13, which is a pretty great deal.
