Amazon Basics Moving Boxes with Handles and Lids, 19 x 14.5 x 15.5 in, Brown, 10-Pack, Medium

Okay, let’s talk about moving boxes, because if you're anything like me—a mature business owner who has no time for chaos—then you know how critical it is to have the right tools when you’re tackling a move. And these are an absolute game-changer. Seriously, if these boxes could talk, they'd be like the personal assistant you’ve always dreamed of—reliable, sturdy, and never going to leave you hanging.First of all, let's talk about size. At 19 x 14.5 x 15.5 inches, these boxes are the perfect "just right" for packing up everything from books (which are always way heavier than I remember) to office supplies, kitchen gadgets, and all that random stuff that just accumulates when you’ve been running a business for, oh, about 20 years. They're big enough to fit a decent amount but not so large that you’re straining your back just trying to lift them. Thank you, sweet box gods.Now, let’s get into the lids. These bad boys actually stay on. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been burned by boxes that have lids that just flop off when I try to carry them. But no, not with these. The lids are sturdy and secure, which means no accidental spills of important things (like your favorite coffee mug or the paperwork you really should’ve shredded a year ago).And the handles—yes, the handles! They’re a game-changer. Seriously, whoever designed these clearly understood that moving isn’t just about throwing stuff in a box and hoping for the best. These handles make carrying the boxes feel almost effortless, which is saying a lot for a business owner who’s been carrying the weight of a company—and, let’s be real, life—on her shoulders for far too long.Plus, these boxes hold up really well. I’ve used them for several moves now, and they've never given me any trouble. No ripped corners, no flimsy sides—they’re sturdy and can take a beating (trust me, I’m not exactly known for my gentle handling of things).The price is another win. As someone who’s always looking to keep costs in check (while still ensuring I don’t end up with cardboard that disintegrates at the first sign of rain), these boxes offer incredible value. They get the job done without breaking the bank.So, whether you’re moving your office, storing inventory, or just trying to finally get your garage under control (we’ve all been there), these Amazon Basics Medium Moving Boxes are the reliable, no-nonsense solution you need.In short: 10/10 would recommend—because no one has time for cheap, flimsy boxes that don't make life easier. I’m already planning to buy more for my next big move (because let's face it, moving is inevitable, like taxes and Zoom calls).

I recently just had a huge move from coast to coast and I bought two orders of these boxes. I love how easy they are to label assembling was a little annoying at first, but I got the hang of it. It did do the job but after a long move, the boxes did bend and kind of fall apart. If you’re doing a short distance move, this is probably a better Item to buy.

It may take a minute to figure out how to assemble these but it is really about 15 seconds per full box and lid. And then you have a huge and really sturdy box that will hold more than you think!I have two sets and used all 20. I have moved more times than you would ever believe and that includes two countries and these are the very best boxes...no, helped made of cardboard, I have ever used in my life!I have stacked the heaviest on top and absolutely no flattening below. Have stacked them crookedly and have no issues. I have done many things to these boxes and they have held up to every test. And tests they were! You obviously know stacking loaded cardboard boxes is an art that must be carefully and intelligently done, right? I thought so! Whew!For moving, storage, fortresses for rats, well...the toothless ones because they would just chomp away, now wouldn't they!?! They will hold so much so well it is terrific.Clothing, electronics, wigs, art, art supplies, crafts, shoes, food, garden gnomes, forest pixies -- open handles are helpful -- anything you think can and should go in a box for a short time or forever, will be happy and safe in these. Well, garden gnomes and forest pixes can talk, as cap paintings with mouths, but there rest, well, just trust the boxes.They came in mint condition, both sets of 10, and I could not be happier! Well, if there were money and jewels in them I might be.

The lid design for these boxes is good for packing items that you might have to take out again and use. It might also be great for a short-distance move where you good could go back and forth with a few boxes.However, for cross-country moves, there are some disadvantages to these. The handle/lid area isn't much more durable than your average moving box, and can absolutely crumple from not being totally full while being stacked. I've had a few of the handles tear apart in more fully loaded boxes. (This can happen to a conventional box too, but I paid much less for those.)All in all, these boxes can be convenient in some cases, but I'd rather scavenge boxes from the recycling center for most of the packing.

Strong boxes

Tip- if you are moving buy these boxes. They are larger than bankers boxes but smaller than the moving boxes sold at stores. The size is just right to hold alot of stuff but not so big that the box becomes too heavy to carry. The cardboard is thick and tough. And the handles make it easy on the hands to carry around.

These were the best for our move! They are sturdy, easy to put together and the perfect size to carry. Plus, you don't need tape!

I am using these for organizing my closet and they're just what I wanted. Easy to assemble, easy to label, sturdy, stackable. Don't hesitate. They are making my life much easier.
