brilliant and comes with some folders

So to start with this review is by someone who has adhd I chose this as it is pink and looked super pretty. It arrived and it is super pretty. Seems very strong which is what I need as I’ll fall over it a lot as I won’t keep it anywhere sensible. When I saw it on here I was convinced it was a game changer and will go perfectly with my pastel pens to label my tabs. I have a pile of papers ready to go in however I’m now overwhelmed and need to procrastinate and have a nap. I’m going to write it on my endless list which I will forget to look at or look and be overwhelmed necessitating a nap. Will do my best to file my papers and hopefully not use it for putting‘things in’. With luck I will attack it and hyper focus and get the job done. The one drawback for me and I didn’t think of when I ordered us that it doesn’t have a catch as well as a lock. My problem being I will probably lose the keys and have to break it open or picking it up without being locked and files going everywhere. This will result in emotional trauma for me and necessitate a nap with true crime on to drown out any noises. Hope this helps a little time for a nap this review has drained me

This is easy to use and set up, supplied are some hanging slings with the tabs and paper slips, there is also a key and a spare copy of the key to work the simple lock on the front of the box. The hinges, on mine, are fine and there are not alignment issues and the hinges work without any catching, jamming or sticking closed or open. The side bars from which the slings hang are sturdy and part of the frame as opposed to separate struts soldered or attached in place. There is a rubber/plastic strap band style handle on the top which allows you to lift the box like a case or airline flight bag. The space within is probably fine for containing about 6 - 8 medium to large paper files. I am not sure how flame and heat resistant it would be, the metal is on the thin side, which makes the box/case light but also means that it could easily warp or dent if you accidentally drop it or wedge it or something like that. The lock is not sophisticated, I suspect that it is not unique to this box and keys from other similar products would probably open it. In fact, this would not be difficult to prise open with out a great deal of strength I think, breaking the lock. I would not say that it is waterproof as it has no rubber seals or anything that closes to make it airtight. The lock itself is a simple turning metal hook which moves into and out of a groove, it has opened once or twice when I have lifted it with the grip on the top and hung open, on those occasions the key was in the lock and simply the shake or motion of the box caused it to open. Things to think about if you are planning on using this as a records safe for your car if you are working from home or anything like that. As a home filing system there are the same issues with security but it is a useful single, central place for storing documents where you can find them again.

Perfect - strong and stylish , keys smooth to turn and handle strong . Very pleased with these boxes and very fast delivery

I was hesitant as there are quite a few negative reviews. However, I needed a case in a bit of a hurry so took the chance. Item arrived well packaged and on time. The case is black powder coated. The powder coat finish is good quality. The lid didn't align well to the body and needed some force to bend it into alignment. One corner of the lid was slightly bent outward, exposing the sharp corner. Covered the corner with a piece of paper to protect the powder coat and then hammered down the sharp corner. Could do with a bit of hammering all round, to be honest, particularly on the base -- where the feet have been created by stamping the metal, it looks like the surrounding metal has bent out a little. The hanging files that were included are cheap but functional. The lock is basic (in the video in the advert the lock is entirely different) and the case must be locked to carry it. The handle is just a strap; basic but functional. Overall it's OK. However, I happened to be in a high street shop a few days ago and saw a similar (but better) case for the same price (£21.99); that case had a good handle, good lock, and no sharp corners. Wish I'd seen that one earlier as much more like the quality I'd expect for this price.

Excellent for storage. Lightweight

Bleibt beim Tragen nicht geschlossen, wird nur durch den Schließhebel gehalten und somit geht es einfach auf.

Capiente, lineare, ben fatto. Corredato come da descrizione.

Il prodotto di qualità accettabile anche se però il gancio di chiusura non è perfetto. Bisogna forzare un pochettino per essere sicuri di chiuderlo al meglio.

Super achat très satisfaite

Great Product
