From reading other reviews prior to making my purchase, this box is just as expected & just what I needed. There is not a clasp or velcro or anything to keep the top closed and the support for the bottom, sides, and top is simply cardboard (covered it pretty fabric). So it would not be best if you're looking to store heavy items anywhere other than a flat surface. Nor would it be best if you're using it to store heavy items but keeping the box somewhere that requires you to lift it (like a high shelf in a closet)- because the cardboard will bend. However, I'm using this box for boot storage under a bed. I have hardwood floors, so it's super easy to slide the box out, quickly access, and slide back under. It would also be great for organizing sheets in a linen closet. For purposes similar to this, I would recommend this box and would buy again.
