- CRUGLA Vinyl Record Storage Boxes with Lids 7 Pack, 13 Inch Cube, Collapsible Corrugated Cardboard, Quick Fold Assembly with Pre-Applied Adhesive, Side Cut-Out Handles, Home Office Organizer, White

I am very pleased with this 7-pack of storage boxes. They are perfectly sized for 12" LP albums. Even my records with 3-mil clear plastic outer jackets fit comfortably inside with no issues. While they are great for vinyl, the size would also work well for organizing clothing or bedding. The assembly looks more intimidating than it actually is. The instructions are printed right on the outer packaging, so take a minute to study the illustrations. After you successfully assemble the first one (just take your time) the remaining ones will be quite easy to assemble. My Advice: Resist the temptation to peel the backing paper off the adhesive flaps right away. Wait until you have the box folded into its cube shape before exposing the glue. It's a little fussy to peel, but waiting ensures you get a perfect, square cube every time --- ask me how I know! The construction is impressive in terms of precision (the cuts and pre-scored folds are very accurate.) The format reminds me of the classic "Bankers Box" style used for office files. However, keep in mind the following: BEST for: Household organization, closet storage, or garage shelving. NOT for: Shipping, rough handling by movers, or DJs who need to transport gear between gigs. These aren't heavy-duty "workhorse" crates, but they are perfectly adequate for home storage. Five stars for doing exactly what I needed them to do.

These are perfect for moving records and anything else with little issues. Putting these together was pretty self explanatory even without the instructions. The cardboard is super thick and durable and there is zero concern of the bottom falling out of it. The handles are doubled up after assembly and get a bit of durability as well. Records slide in effortlessly, but they have plenty of room for other items as well. My only complaint about these boxes is the adhesive isn't the best. You will still to tape the side to keep it together. Other than that, these are really amazing boxes perfect for moving.

Things come about full circle, don't they? I remember "vinyl" back growing up in the 60s and 70s, then the technology progressed to CDs and streaming, and now we are right back to those old records. I'm glad I held on to my favorites all these years, and these storage boxes are the perfect way to protect them and keep them safe. What I like most is that they are specifically a 13-inch cube, so my LPs actually fit with a little room to breathe instead of being crammed in. They are made of a thick corrugated cardboard that feels sturdy enough to stack, especially since they come with lids to keep the dust off the vintage covers. The assembly was a breeze, too—it’s a "quick fold" design with adhesive already on the flaps, so I didn't have to mess around with rolls of packing tape. The side cut-out handles are a lifesaver when I’m moving things around in my home office. Getting seven boxes in one pack was a great value and gave me more than enough room to finally get my collection off the floor and organized. Well made, easy to put together... just another great storage and organization solution! If you have a growing record collection, I highly recommend these.

What drew me to ordering these storage boxes was the initial statement in the listing “Vinyl Record Storage Boxes”. After receiving the boxes and beginning the assembly, I decided to break down my findings of the pros & cons in hopes it will assist anyone in their decision making process. Pros: * Boxes and lids - come packed tight and securely together in one carton. Assembled product had a clean look. Cons: * Assembly - Not easy to assemble - directions (printed on shipping box outside only), 12 steps for just the box. Not clear, confusing to try following. Need step by step clearly showing the assembly and definitely provide a video. With over 30 years in office products I finally stopped and decided to figure it out myself. Can I assemble one quicker now? Yes (in 4-5 steps) but it should be like that, from the start. There’s no video, no resources to be found anywhere….even the internet. So I can only feel the frustration of someone with no knowledge of storage boxes trying to make sense of these instructions. The lids were a no brainer. * Handle Cutouts - For storing the boxes on shelves, etc the handle cutouts should be showed pushed out closed so there’s no opening for dust, dirt, critters, etc to easily enter the box. Maybe consider a simple cutout tab on the lid that covers the handle opening. * Weight Capacity - No weight capacity or rating them as medium duty, heavy duty, etc. The listing clearly says “Vinyl Record Storage Boxes with lid” with the picture showing a box full of vinyl record albums. So imagine the total weight, I’d lean toward heavy for this box. Would I trust my albums or anything valuable or important with reasonable weight being moved/carried by the cutout handles with this box…..not likely. And how about stacking them, would they support of other boxes without crushing or materials damaged? The cardboard structure for strength was questionable. Which brings me to the next. * Adhesive Strip - durability and holding power. At least the adhesive joins 2 sides of the box together and not the bottom, but it doesn’t exclude those from separating. What type of adhesive is used, will heat or cold affect it? How long term is it, has it been tested? Many concerns…..I’ve always been used to one piece boxes that fold together, making them unlikely to have this issue and being stronger. Overall, the boxes didn’t meet my expectations. From the start, the assembly instructions and lack of resources raised more questions & concerns that were left unanswered. And the intent of them as vinyl record storage boxes confirmed I can not recommend them. To conclude, if you’re looking for a smaller size box for moving or storing light weight items such as clothes, linens, etc these should work fine. But in general for the value and satisfaction, regardless of the intent of use, I’d suggest comparing other products.

These storage boxes are a really practical solution, especially if you’re organizing vinyl records or anything similar in size. The 13 inch cube design fits records nicely without them feeling cramped, and the included lids are a great bonus for keeping dust out and everything looking clean. Assembly is quick and straightforward, the pre applied adhesive helps keep things simple, and once put together, the boxes feel surprisingly sturdy for corrugated cardboard. The cut out handles make them easy to move around, even when they’re full. They stack well and hold their shape, which is important if you’re storing multiple boxes. The overall look is simple and clean, so they work in a home or office setting without looking out of place. The only minor downside is that, being cardboard, they’re not ideal for very heavy loads or damp environments, and the lids feel a bit thinner compared to the box itself. That said, for typical use like records, books, or general storage, they hold up well. Overall, these are well made, convenient, and a great value for organizing and storing items neatly.

I recently purchased the 7-Pack Vinyl Record & Home Storage set, and I’m really impressed with its functionality and design. These storage boxes are perfect for organizing my vinyl records, documents, and other household items. The cube-style design is ideal for fitting record-size papers and folders, and it maximizes shelf and cabinet space without any waste. The build quality is excellent, as the boxes are made from multi-layer corrugated paperboard, which gives them a neat look and a reliable shape. Setting them up was a breeze; they ship flat and are easy to assemble with the pre-applied adhesive strips—no extra tape needed! I also appreciate the easy carry handles, which make it simple to move the boxes between rooms. The lid keeps everything covered and protected. Overall, this storage set has been a great addition to my home office and closet, helping me stay organized in style.

The instructions on how to put these together are barely useful. In addition, you have to be careful taking the folded pieces out of the box so they don't tear. The easiest thing to do is try to work it out yourself from the pictures. The tab (they call it "the pin") goes through a slot. That's obvious enough. What's not obvious is that the "pin cushion" (the part with the slot) has an adhesive strip. That strip goes between the two sides and sticks to the inner face of the outer side panel. If you can see brown when you are done, you've done it wrong. I messed up one and "fixed" it with tape. Otherwise, these are perfectly servicable once you figure out how to fold them.

These arrived in a box folded up and disassembled. I have undone enough boxes to know how to fold them. I’m not sure if there are instructions inside the box but I easily visualized how they fold up and had it put together in about one minute. Once assembled the boxes are medium duty and could handle being filled with items that’s aren’t super heavy. I’m not sure what the boxes are rated but I’d say they’d easily hold 20-30lbs. I think with a little extra reinforcement like tape or glue they’d hold more. These are the lightweight corrugated material but since the sides fold together it’s doubled up. The lids fit nicely on top and stay in place. The square shape makes them easy to stack and store while still accommodating a standard size of paper. If you’re looking for afford and compact storage options these are prefect for that. They’re a shiny white material so compared to brown cardboard these are aesthetically more pleasing to look at.
