Bankers Box SmoothMove Prime Moving Boxes - Medium (8-Pack) | Heavy Duty Cardboard Storage Boxes for Home Office Moving & Packing Supplies | Perfect for Moving Houses, Office Relocation & Long-Term Storage

This is an invention that makes you say two things: 1) Why didn't I think of this? and 2) I will never buy any other kind of box ever again! The fact that these are TAPE-LESS is a game changer. No more annoying tape gadget, and trying to tape everything down. I also love that the lid is integrated, because otherwise, the separate lids always fall off when I use them, or I end up taping them down anyway, which defeats the purpose of the "on-again, off-again" ease of a lid. The third advantage is the handles. They fold into a box in a second, totally intuitively. They have directions on the side, but you won't need them. Just don't be afraid to tear apart the section of the box that clearly looks like it's supposed to come apart. Really, try these and be ruined for every other box forever more!The boxes arrived on time. They were easy to assemble. Worked as expected.Easy to assemble and lift. Good quality.I will order these over and over. They made lefting them easy. Strong and reliable.I have ordered new floors for my downstairs to replace my threadbare carpet and torn kitchen vinyl. Yay! Now the bad news. All ten bookcases--which are jammed--must be emptied out so the bookcases can be moved, so the floor can go beneath them. It's a lot like moving!I ordered a bunch of Banker's boxes, but they didn't seem to make a dent in our collection. A whole package of boxes later, we had only emptied one and a half bookcases. I figured I'd get down to business and get some REAL boxes. But here's the deal: a box this size may or may not stand up to a full load of books; it depends how far it's going, how well you've secured it, and whether you know anyone that can pick it up. We don't, and we can't. The box itself is well assembled, but not as heavy a quality as the extra-strength banker's box. So we are putting books in the bottom half, and tossing other, light weight items that must be moved into the top (globes, stuffed animals, wrapped dishes, etc).The good thing about these is how easily they are assembled. I'm not really mechanically gifted, but it was plain as could be, once I uncollapsed the box, that all you had to do was push straight down, and then bend the inside flap straight down to make a second, complete floor for the box. Voila. There it is. We don't need the labeling info boxes that have been provided since we aren't going anywhere, and everything is going out to the garage and then back downstairs again, but if we were moving, it would be welcome. I have moved many times, and these are a lot nicer and more uniform in size than the produce boxes I used to beg from the backs of grocery stores!When you have finished filling the box, there are two little flaps sticking out. Punch the handle spots into the sides of the box, and then bend the flaps in to make extra-secure handles. The top folds in such a way as to discourage it from falling open even if you were to leave it untaped. (However, I would still tape it shut if I were actually moving.)We also ordered some "large" boxes and heaven knows what we will put in them. They are too big for just about anything unless you have big quilts or a bunch of pillows. If I were to do it over again, I would order two packages of these, and none of the "large" boxes.Get these boxes. Easy to assemble and a great value. They should last for several movesA near perfect storage and moving box solution.We have used these for 2+ large moves both intrastate and interstate and they are great.They’re easy to build and hold an amazing amount of weight.The only downsides are:1) the blue coloring rubs off on white walls2) they can be difficult to tape shut and sealNo need for tape and super easy to put together.I bought the small, medium, and large versions of this box. Out of the three, I like medium the best. The small version is more suited for small and heavy items like books or water-like household items. The large version is for bulky and light items like clothes or cotton-based household items. Medium is the most versatile as it can be used for both bigger and heavier items. The handles are very sturdy and I really like the tape less fold out design.Oh was he almost jaleous of my broke ass leaving when he saw my stuff in those amazing boxes. Almost worth the heartache. Seriously, I love the boxes.I was hesitant at first purchasing such expensive boxes for our move. But holy are they fantastic. They cost $1-2 more than other no name brands but in grand scheme of things they’re worth every penny. I bought a pack of 8 of medium size and they’re the perfect size. Absolutely a breeze to unpack and pack without w tape. Sturdy and heavy duty, great for packing all your fragile items and just overall next boxes you can buy.Wish I bought more, as used some crap boxes for the rest. Highly recommended.Okay but not the best from that brand. If you’re looking to not use tape (good on environment), have patience and won’t overpacked your box, it will work for you.Those boxes can be a little counterintuitive to put together but will be solid which is a big plus. But since the top is only holding by the handles being folded on the side, as soon as the box is carry too many times (like for storing and move and storage), these handles won’t keep the box completely close. Also, as soon as your box is overfilled, this model won’t allow you to just push the content inside and tape the box but instead, the top part will just pop out.This brand is fantastic but the I would buy their regular model instead.I recently moved and this boxes are life savers!!! They are so easy to work with, so amazingly strong that saved me lots of work because they close themselves pretty well. The movers thought the boxes were great size to work with too (medium). I didn't throw them out after moving, instead, I flattened them (took five seconds) and store them away. When I need to store more stuff, I will be able to use them again. Very proud of my choice, lol! They are amazing!
