3 Litre Clear

These are first rate storage; strong, well made and available in a diverse range of sizes for different uses. I have purchased them in a number of sizes to date, and just ordered some more: 0.3 and 0.7L - small boxes which are ideal for in draw storage, or use in multiples for DIY storage (screws, washers etc). 1.7L - a new size (as at Jun 13), which is great for larger in draw storage, first aid kits, small sewing kits etc. 3L - designed for CDs in their cases. I bought these to store discs in paper wrappers which are unfortunately not a great fit, but CDs in cases fit perfectly in one direction, and DVDs in cases fit perfectly the other way. 9L - These are ideal for pairs of mens shoes (which are stored upright but toe to heel), for A4 size magazines, papers or just some of life's 'bits 'n bobs' such as numerous chargers, spare AV cables etc etc. I think these are the most practical multi purpose size I have purchased. 35L - great for book storage and 18 typical hardbook books fit in one box which makes for moderately heavy, but still manageable, storage. As at July 2013 Ryman are offering a 2 for £20 on their own site. 64L - These are ideal for clothes storage; anything much heavier would probably be unmanageable if you filled the box. I did purchase these from the High Street though as there is currently (Jul 2013) a 2 for £20 offer at Staples. It is worth noting that some sizes come in 'standard' and 'extra strong' which are a couple of pounds more expensive each and are only available in white rather than clear. The standard ones seem plenty strong enough, but it might be worth considering the extra strong if you wanted to carry tools around in a work van for example. As mentioned above, it can be worth checking prices between suppliers on these, and some are often better than others or specialise, for example Ryman are great for the very small sizes. There is only one negative - because the boxes are straightsided they do not stack inside one another when empty, so they do take up more space than some other storage options when not in use. Thoroughly recommended.

Additional Internal measurements are included in this review. Having spent over £8-00 just last week on two card index boxes - one broke a hinge next day and the other both hinges yesterday something had to give. I needed somewhere to store and search through my Marion Nelson pattern cards. These cards were just under 6" wide but just over 4" high. The cards themselves fitted the index boxes but the slightly larger dividers I made broke the camels back and this is how the first hinge broke. I accidentally tapped the other with my foot, it fell over (it was on the floor already) and the lid swung open and both the hinges on that one snapped, I could see most of the lower price card index boxes were going to be the same so decided to look for other storages. I have used these boxes before they are fabulous for in the garage or storeroom.. Back to my cards. The Really Useful boxes that were wide enough for my cards were not tall enough so I decided that I might have to cut my cards to fit. I had a look and by careful checking each card I could see cut a little card off either end. I know they give internal measurements of these boxes but I needed more information so I risked buying 4 thinking they would always come in for something else if they did not suit my purpose this time. All four sides of the box actually slope inwards towards the base so the bottom of the box is narrow in both directions than at the top. Also there is headroom on the inside of the lid which might make a different to someone's problem. First of all the box base INTERNALLY The handle end is 14.5cm wide at the bottom + 3mm wider at the top. thus 14.8cm. wide at the top. Luckily my cards had blank areas at one or other side so despite trimming I have not lost any information. The height internally of the base is 11.5cm but I stood a long thin card up in the box and kept trying the lid and trimming the card till the card stood inside with the lid fastened but fell loose when I tilted the box. 3cm. more My cards have 2cm clearance to the rim of the box more than enough room for dividers with tall tabs, plus there is the 3cm. inside the lid. I put the cut cards in the box and fastened the lid on and shook it and they all stayed in place - I knew from the measurements they would. So if you put something in the box that is 14.5cm high it will actually peep over the rim of the base but the lid will fit on and fasten just. Length of the box Internally - the length at the bottom of the box is 19.5cm. and at the top internally is 20,3cm. The box size is absolutely ideal for cds or dvds but if it had been 8 or 9mm wider. it would have been a grand card index box for 6" x 4" cards. Luckily my cards don't have information right to the edges and there was sufficient blank space to trim off. I am well pleased with these four boxes. I could have bought four in a set off ebay delivery free but wait 6 days. Or buy them in 2 sets of two low price and high delivery cost. Through Amazon 4 for £15-96 and as I have PRIME these particular items are free delivery AND they were delivered next day (today)by Amazon Logistics. Today is Sunday.

Great box. As the name says it’s really useful. This one I use to keep my jewellery making pliers in

Used to store console games (DVD size). Perfect size and fit. Easily stackable. (sturdy and don't tip over) strong base and top, good locking handles. A-Z organized which we personally labbled each box. Keeps items protected and dust free. Easy to transport.

Have a lot of the really useful boxes, they are sturdy and stack well. We needed another one of these large ones for the additional Christmas decorations that we tend to accumulate each year.

I've got a number of these Really Useful Storage boxes, and I am very happy with them. I've got some boxes from other brands and these are by far the best. They are sturdy and seal really well, and the way that they stack is very stable as well. I am progressively buying more and more to store items in the attic or under the bed and these are perfect for that. What I find very important is that I am confident in putting a fair bit of weight in them without them breaking, either the bottom/sides or the handles when I pick them up. This is an issue I've had with other boxes, which are flimsier. The Really Useful boxes are very strong and solid.

Very good item have still got them

These boxes are excellent and are useful for virtually every storage situation. I bought this one to hold some wargaming terrain items that I am currently working on. It is ideal for this. The price for this sturdy little box was good and the delivery was very quick.
