Sturdy. These have not "brittled" to crack or warped to twist. Very handy for how i needed my files to be stored.
Update: Nov 2015
These are still perfect. Solid, sturdy. No brittle. No chips, cracks, scratches. No warping, they keep their shape. I actually bought, on Amazon, both large size and small which hold less files. I gave some to friends when my filing needs changed. I put sticker labels on them as needed and they came right off.
Love this and was exactly what I was looking for. I highly recommend it. I'm online now to buy another one!
This clear file box is sturdy and is perfect for fitting into an upright roller cart (like teachers use) or brief case. I use it for files that need to go regularly to/from home and work. The clear box is narrow and takes up minimal space (4" wide, 13.5" long), yet holds about 7-9 fully-filled file folders that are also in hanging file folders. (You don't have to use hanging file folders, which would then give you even more room.) It has two sets of handles, one set each side of the length and another set each side of the width. Lengthwise handles are typical on file boxes, but I've been surprised to discover how useful the additional widthwise handles are. In fact, on one side the widthwise handle is slightly higher, so you can actually carry the whole file box with one hand for convenience (yes, the box is that sturdy yet lightweight).
When I'm going to/from my office, I simply take the filled file box out from my roller and set it on my desk. During the day I take out/file papers/folders as needed. At the end of the day, I simply set the filled box back inside my roller and head back home. Totally convenient, organized, and simple. It also has an attractive clean look sitting out on a desk. What's not to like?!
The only negative is lack of Prime shipping, lack of tracking, arrived after delivery timeframe, and had poor packaging - all of which have nothing to do with the Product/File Box itself. The quality of the product makes up for the poor shipping.
These storage containers are perfect for a classroom teacher! They hold hanging folders, file folders, and two pocket folders very well. I am a junior high teacher, and I purchased one for each class. In it I keep a class set of pocket folders for kids to keep and turn their assignments in, and that's also where I return all of their graded work. I also keep a couple of hanging folders in each as well with any worksheets/handouts/etc that I'll need for that class. I color code each of my classes, and the clear exterior makes it easy to see what color folders are in each container. They are durable enough to withstand routine TEACHER handling and moving, though most likely would not hold up very well if students were the ones to move around (if you're a teacher, you know what I mean). Check out the "customer images" for a better picture of what they look like filled with folders.
I've used the "Deco Files" in the past, and these IRIS files are a cheaper alternative -- and they work just as well. I use them for organizing different types of files. For example, I use one for different types of printer labels, another for the different types of envelopes I use, another for specialty types of printer paper, and another for instruction manuals. I have these lined up on a shelf and it's nice to just grab a file box and quickly find what you need.
This was exactly what I was looking for -- hold pendaflex, and are narrow enough to be stored on a bookshelf (where I have mine). You maybe need to have my situation to appreciate it, but it was perfect! If you want to hold files in something other that a "milk crate" (I've got those, too), and have it look sleek and neat, these are the things to get.
Very, very happy with my purchase.

Description
IRiS clear open top small file box measuring 9.88" x 13.38" x 3.94" is ideally used to organize frequently used files with-in arms reach.
Good strong and big,like it.
I have been purchasing these for a while. I like their upright design. I have all three sizes, this order was for the large. I use them for my files, hanging ones as well. My daughter swipes them for other things, as, their upright design means small footprint. They stack, too. I wish they were still in production, so there would be a greater number of sources. Partially / opaque so labeling is not as critically required. Sturdy enough to use, even, for lugging my power tools around. And cleans easily, they are plastic! And so far, none have cracked!
I am a school teacher and bought several of these desktop file boxes to help keep me organized. 8 1/2 by 11 hanging files hang perfectly across the top of the boxes making it like your own portable filing cabinet. Another benefit is that they are see-through, so that if you are using them for something other than hanging files, it would be easy to identify the contents inside. Very strong and heavy material!
I love these! I bought 3 of the medium size for my bookshelf. I love that they can be used vertically to hold up large books or folders that could fall over. They can be used to organize certain information. Easy to pull off the shelf and have them all at your fingertips. I also use one to hold files. The medium size is almost too wide to comfortably pull off the shelf. And, when full, it's almost too heavy with one arm. It's a good workout. BIG PROBLEM: The seller (SIM SUPPLY, INC) mailed these to the wrong address - one I never provided. Not sure where they got it. I eventually received the 2 orders I placed, but they were delayed due to this issue.
They are exactly what I needed to clean up my work office and home office desktops! They are easily transportable (handles and light weight even filled) and easy to see. I bought multiples so I could use them for many tasks: one is for current projects I am working on and another is for pending files. Still another holds extra hanging files and folders so I am ready to add a new folder if necessary even though I keep a few at the back of each box. Thank you for having this wonderful product at an affordable price.
