Fiberboard file boxes: durability, functionality and style
Okay, let me just admit right up front this isn’t the cheapest file box you can buy. You’re paying partly for durability compared to cardboard file boxes and partly for looks. But if you don’t have a closet to stuff away your cardboard file boxes, they can look ugly and depressing in the room where they’re sitting. This Cargo file box in Red Spice can actually improve the room instead of bringing it down. And it comes in Bluestone, Sage Green, Nutmeg Brown and Slate Gray, if red’s not your thing.
In my experience, another advantage to a file box like this is smell. You can smell cardboard when you walk into a room; I’ve never noticed that with fiberboard, which is what this box is made of. And the lid is especially designed to accommodate those hooks from hanging files.
