I buy these boxes all the time to store yarn. Today I needed some to store paper documents. I purchased based on the dimensions on the label, but they are not accurate. I needed a box that would hold legal folders which are 15" long. The label said 16.75" so I figured I was good. However, the bottom of the box is only 14" so my folders don't fit. The label should say 14" since that is the size of the bottom.
