Sterilite Office Ware Stacking File Cabinets
By Kat Mitschke onDue to living in the Houston area I am always concerned about the possibility of having to evacuate my home due to a hurricane or storm.Always having used a metal file cabinet for important papers I recently realized that I could not easily pick up a file cabinet, throw it in the car and take off.So I started looking for alternate storage options and finally found just the right thing.I am talking about Sterilite Office Ware.These are stackable file boxes that are hard plastic with a lid that folds back on hinges for full access and a latch that locks down and stays shut.The lid is so designed that it creates "handles" to pick it up.The box is ready to use hanging folders - turn it one way and it is legal size or turn the other way and it is letter size.It holds a large amount of hanging folders and with the lid shut the folders stay in place.The boxes are $6.83 each - 2 boxes holds about the same as a two-drawer file cabinet which costs $25 - $30.The label on the box says it is model number 1878.You can look at other Sterilite products on their web sight.If a storm comes, grab the boxes and run.You've got all your important papers in a light, easy to carry container.

You make some very good points about having a filing cabinet that you can pick up and take out of the home.
I could not find a picture of these on their web site. I think it's similar to another brand I have 2 of that are no longer available. I'd really like to see these.
