This declared as books boxes packing boxes were extremely valuable for my move. Apart from a few hardware store boxes for major household appliances I have performed the complete action with it. They are very stable and resilient; even when fully loaded is cracked by me, not a single broken or. At the same time they are very compact, which can be advantageous, but also a disadvantage. I had, however, decided to do it, prefer to use more boxes that are then taken to ensure also for mere mortals, than larger, which are then no longer makes sense to move. The decision I have not regretted. In addition, these boxes are very cheap. At the hardware store, you pay for quality significantly worse cartons much more.
