Brad, thanks for the response. I have seen these boxes, unfortunately I need much larger boxes. They will not be moved often, or stacked, so the durability & ability to move around is not great. -Tom

Where have any of you found large (3-4' length, 2-3' width, 2-3' height) boxes for storage ? I do not want cardboard. Do I need to make crates out of wood ? Prefer plastic, but Container Store et al do not have anything this large. These will be used to hold items approx 30-40 lbs.
