These would have been 4-5 stars if only I hadn't been shipped one with a broken latch. They are weak plastic and very flimsy. As a result I can't close the lid securely but can use padlocks or twist ties through the provided holes to do the job. I'm thinking if you ever intended to store and have your belongings moved in these, and they can't stand being in their own padded cardboard box and being shipped to you through the mail system, then these just aren't sturdy enough for the job. I'd say they are more than adequate to careful non-heavy duty usage in the home for storage purposes, but expect a possibility of breakage if shipped.
