They can be used for a wide variety of things - files, of course, but also books, magazines, extra office supplies, craft supplies, hobby supplies, glassware, clothing, bedding, and a thousand and one other things.
In fact, one of my collections is a Christmas Village I use for raising funds for charity and just to give people pleasure at Christmas. It takes up a whole closet in one of my spare bedrooms, but what makes it manageable is that it all gets packed away in filing boxes - houses, accessories, lights, electrical cords and all.
Because the boxes are all the same size, and usually fairly sturdy as well, it's easy to stack them in piles or rows without taking up a whole lot of extra space.
It helps to add labels to one side and one front of the boxes and then to make sure at least one of the labels is facing out when you stack them. Makes it easy to find what you are looking for.
Do you use filing boxes? If not, why not consider getting some. They can be purchased quite inexpensively at times from stationery supply stores such as Staples.
