Really Useful Box Plastic Storage 35 Litre Clear with 10 x A4 Suspension Files

I like the robust, stackable design and clear plastic, which allows me to see the contents and chose the smaller, 24 Litre, foolscap suspension model because I wanted boxes that I could easily stash away in the corner of a room or under a table and which I could also carry to a convenient location when using them or to a car for transport, for example.The box came with 10 Really Useful Box foolscap size suspension files, which are good quality although you may want more than this. When they are empty, there is actually room for 30 of these files in the 24 Litre box so, depending on what you want to put in them, let’s say 20 working files. However, before you order more, you might like to consider the slimmer ELBA Verticfile Ultimates, which are excellent quality and pack a maximum of 44, empty files in the space available. I also ordered a box of filertek Dry Erase Hanging File Tabs, which work perfectly and are a huge improvement over those fiddly conventional tabs that are prone to falling off.This last point helps if you want to make the most of the system because the stability of the hanging files is impressive. The files can only be dislodged when they are not lying perpendicularly between the runners and this only happens when there is enough free space to allow them to lie skew. The solution is to keep the box is relatively full or to use something else to fill the available space in which case the files are even secure when the box is upside down!

I have a number of different sized boxes from the "Reallly Useful" brand - I find the quality to be excellent, and unlike some similar brands that \I have tried, the lid clips grip firmly with the Really Useful boxes.I found the description listed for this item on Amazon very slightly confusing for a few moments, It says "Perfect for filing A4 paper - designed for foolscap suspension files "This is simply a box for foolscap sized suspension files, and as A4 papers are slightly smaller than foolscap , they will of course fit.It seems to me from some of the questions and answers, and some reviews that people are somewhat confused.The box came as advertised with 10 foolscap suspension files (the A4 sized box does not - although Really Useful do make both sizes of suspension files). There were no index tabs included, but they were not listed in the description so I had not expected to find those - I had already ordered them separately, together with some additional suspension files.I am not sure what else to say. All the Really Useful boxes I have are strong, not at all flimsy, they stack well, the plastic does not appear brittle, and they have been perfect for my needs.Note that they are not air-tight (and not meant to be), if storing things in a garage for example, contents could become damp if you do not wrap them.They are simply the best brand I have found for this style of box.NOTE TO POTENTIAL NEW BUYERS: Be sure that you know what you are actually buying - it is clear from some questions and reviews that some people are not clear.This box is designed to hold "Foolscap" sized suspension files.There are other boxes that will hold "A4" size suspension files (slightly wider but shorter than foolscap). A4 documents will usually fit into either size of suspension file.An A4 document is : 210 mm x 297 mm (8.3 in x 11.7 in); A Foolscap document is : 203 mm x 330 mm ( 8.0 in x 13.0 in).The box for Foolscap suspension files is 24L and the box for A4 suspension files is 19L and this Foolscap box is around 2 inches longer than the A4 box.

Why would anyone stick permanent barcode labels on a product!!! Trying to remove the amazon barcode label on the top lid is proving impossible!!! This label is made of permanent adhesive and I have used hot soapy water and a sponge to try and remove it yet it’s still sticky and now scratched the plastic because of this damn label! 🤬After 40 minutes and after using acetone nail polish remover plus lemon juice both of which did not remove the sticky residue I have given up. These boxes are to be used for catering and to have a sticky area on the lid is not great. Terrible idea to stick delivery / barcode labels directly on the product!

The 35 litre Really Useful Box filing box (RUB) takes A4 suspension files in one direction or Foolscap suspension files in the other direction. This means that there's an integral "lip" for suspension file "hooks" to glide along on ALL FOUR interior sides - that's clever thoughtful design.I bought three in three separate orders, "Style Name: 35 Litre + 10 Suspension Files | Customer Package Type: Standard Packaging". But beware: all 10 Suspension Files that were supplied were A4 only, luckily I already owned the Foolscap ones that I needed. (I recommend Esselte suspension files for a wide range of colours and sizes plus Esselte sell extra-wide [9cm] file label tags - buy on Amazon UK). You can buy matching orange Really Useful Box suspension files in Foolscap size on Amazon UK; you can also buy more A4 Really Useful Box suspension files separately on Amazon UK without having to buy another RUB. The Suspension Files do NOT come with file label tags.Each RUB arrived in a sturdy box, inside an Amazon box (you know how sturdy those are). The inner box is sturdy enough and without markings that it'd make a good storage box on its own. However, one RUB arrived with its lid damaged - a piece had broken off in transit.

Great size box for storing tins of beans and soups. You can fit 30 tins in this box with little waisted space. Put 4 bags of gluten free past on top of the tins and the box in full.Review Update - the plastic is brittle and the bottom corners break really easily. If you want to buy a box that lasts a couple of months go for it, if like me you want something to last years, look for something else. I have used these boxes for years, but recent purchases have been of poor quality and they are made from a poor quality plastic. I contacted Really Useful Product to ask why do the boxes break so easily and they said they are having problems getting raw materials and they will get whatever they can to make the boxes. They also told me the plastic is not the same clear colour anymore and its more like a dirty yellow colour. Athough times are difficult for manufacturers I don't want to buy a box that lasts just a few months, maybe the company should stop manufacturing its products until it can secure suitable raw materials. Do Not Buy From This Company If You Want A Durable Product.
