Files stick and twist and come out of the sides
This review is for the 12x12 paper crate. Others have complained about this, and I wish the company would address it. The files don't move smoothly. I think they're getting caught on the wood railing at the top, but it could be the sides. I'd hoped the weight of the cardstock would help. It didn’t. The files stick and twist and then the bottom of the files come out of the holes on the sides, which will make this difficult to use without modifications. I knew going in that the huge holes on the sides would leave my paper open for dust but figured I could add a thin sheet of plastic inside to cover those. Now, I don't think that will be possible because the files will catch on it. I'll have to do it on the outside, which will mar the appearance. My husband is a woodworker, so he is going to try some things; however, I'm disappointed I can't use this right out of the box. If he can't fix the problem, I'll have him build something similar and scrap this one.
SNS Response: One trick to get the files to slide better is to add wax to the wood runners.

Paper Crate
This is the 3rd paper crate I’ve purchased. Love them! So easy for me to see/store my card stock.
Paper Crate
I was stashing cardstock for Christmas cards under my desk against the leg and they kept falling over. I purchased the paper crate with the hanging folders. Problem solved. Now my cardstock is neatly corralled and easy to find. Also bought the rolling base to easily move it out of the way.
Perfect for 12x12 paper
I love the product. I took away one star because I got a splinter right away. I'm more careful now. But for storing 12x12 paper, it's wonderful! Easy to access & easy to put away..
SNS Response: We apologize for you receiving a splinter. We do what we can to make sure our products are sanded smooth; however, in really dry conditions (like we are experiencing in MN) the wood will dry and splinter on occasion. Again, we do apologize for this. - NE
LOVE IT!!
I'm so pleased with my new paper create for my 12 x 12 paper. I do agree with other's that the opening in the sides is a bit big and the files catch. I believe this is just due to the way the files are packaged - I took 4 sheets of 12 x 12 acetate and covered the openings. Looks like it was always there. I do think that once they have been hanging for a bit with the weight of the paper they will be fine.
I just ordered my second paper crate - first one is full of 12 x 12 Christmas paper and so need another for the rest of my DSP. I have to say I LOVE all of the products I've purchased from Stamp n Storage, just wish the shipping wasn't so expensive to come to the West Coast of Canada.
Paper Crate
Love it! I’ve tried many different paper holding options and this holds more than I expected and seems very sturdy for storing at home or taking to retreats. I’m so excited!
Paper Crate
Love, love these paper crates. I use the rolling base and the cover too. They store a lot of paper and keep it neat and protected from dust and light.
Paper crate
This crate is perfect for storing loose sheets of 12x12 paper.
paper crate
Perfect as always!
Great for paper storage for small spaces
Highly recommend if you are looking for storage when you are limited with space. I purchased 2 units with the rollers.
Terrific paper 12x12 paper storage
This is a great storage container for 12x12 paper. It came with folders to hold the papers and separate them according to colors,etc
Paper Crate
Another excellent example of the quality of workmanship you will get from Stamp-n-storage is the paper crate. Awesome workmanship that molds together well with other paper crates, holds lots of paper when placed in file folders and makes paper crafting go so much better and helps keep my work area organized. All the Stamp-n-Storage products are quality pieces of work that you will enjoy for many years as you craft.
12 x 12 Paper Crate and 12 x 12 Hanging File Folders
Love the paper crates. The only thing that would make them better is if the cutouts on the sides were a smaller. Other than that - LOVE THEM!!!
12 x 12 Paper Crate and 12 x 12 Hanging File Folders
I am loving the 12 X 12 Crate and 12 X 12 Hanging File Folders. I am in the process of organizing my paper and these products are working and look Amazing.
12 x12 crates
I am absolutely thrilled with my purchase. These crates are exactly as described and very well made. An ingenious design so the crates can be stacked on top of each other - I also purchased 2 roller wheels and didn’t realize that these are separate of which I think is an even better idea/ design as you have the option of rolling or stacking. Love these and they arrived only a few days after placing the order. Excellent product and excellent service. Thank you!!
crate paper storage
I bought the 12x12 paper crate. It is well constructed , but I wish the file folders moved easier. The folders keep getting stuck on the side holes. Other than that, the crate is great.
Cube paper storage
I just received the 1x12 &8 1/2 cubes and rolling platform. I like how much the 12 x 12 paper cube holds. They are all great for trying to get my new craft room organized.
Paper storage with hanging folders
I love these. I had one and just ordered my second one. I use them for all of my scrap paper. I can see the color I need at a glance, it keeps the papers from getting crinkled up. Very well made.
Paper Crate
I absolutely love the 12 x 12 paper crate. I have struggled for a few years with my DSP stacked on top of each other not knowing what I had.
Thanks for such a great product.
Love it!
I love this rolling cart. It fits perfectly under my counter next to my trash can under my big cutter. I keep my Cardstock in it with the scraps underneath the top crate. Rolls great.
Paper Crate
I love it!
Wonderful!
I am so pleased with the paper crate--it is wonderful! I have all my 12 x 12 designer paper in it and can find what I want easily. Besides being so convenient and handy, it looks great too, and the roller caddy helps to move it easily. Another great product of Stamp 'n Storage!
Paper crate
LOVE THIS PRODUCT! Excellent quality, function, looks. Keeps everything handy!
12x12 crate with rolling base
The crate comes with 25 folders. It moves easily around the room, or you can set the wheels so that it doesn't move. It holds my 12x12 paper great!!
12 x 12 paper storage cart and wheeled base with hanging folders
Love it!!!! I wanted to be able to see and get at my dsp paper...this did the trick!!!
Just what I wanted
Great container for all my 12x12 paper and the fact it also came with hanging folders and plastic tabs for labeling, makes it awesome!
Crates
These are perfect for my scrape paper. They fit under my work station and roll out when I need them. They are well made, were delivered promptly and were perfect for what I bought them for
Love it!!!
Perfect for my needs.
12 x 12 paper crate
I am very pleased with my new paper crates! They hold a lot of paper. When you put them on the rolling base they are very easy to move with two of them stacked. They even roll easily on the carpet. The covers are great too, as they give you some extra working space. I wish that the two sides were closed in to keep scraps form falling out, but this problem is solved by adhering a piece of paper over the openings, or using 8.5"x11" plastic zip envelopes placed vertically in the folder to hold the scraps.
12x12 paper crates
love this crate that holds my 12x12 paper and will order more as my paper stash tends to grow, but the only downfall with it is, the folders don't move real easily, but can be dealt with.
AMAZING
I looked EVERYWHERE for some kind of way to store my 12x12 paper and still be able to easily flip through it and FINALLY found this. The quality is incredible, very sturdy, very pretty, fast shipping! Amazing company, will be a return customer!
12x12 crate
I just love my new crate which stores many of my expensive hand designed and painted papers. It is sturdy, well made and splinter free. I'm considering buying a second one and adding a wheel base so I can easily pull it to my work table.
Paper Holder
I do wish the sides were enclosed so my scraps didn't fall out
12X12 paper holder
Just what I needed to store my Designer Specialty Papers.. It is now much easier to access the paper I want to use, it's at my finger tips right beside my work table. Thank the designer for this product....it is a great asset to my craft room.
Paper storage crate 12x12
It is lighter than I expected, which is good. Well built and it looks great. It needs to be 1/8" wider, so the hanging paper holders would move easier without getting stuck. I can use it for my smaller paper (8.5x11) with no problems but the 12x12 hangs up and does not slide well. When I put my 12x12 paper in the hanging file holders, it catches on the bottom sides.
When I put the tabs on the top of the files, They seem to catch on the bottom of the crate being stacked on top. Probably something I am doing wrong... but it does.
Other than that, I love it.
LOVE IT
Although the whole set up (crate + rolling base + cover) was pricey, it's absolutely worth it! I loved it so much that I purchased a second one the day my first one arrived. It holds A LOT of paper. Other reviews stated it could be a smidge wider (1/8") and I agree this would help the file folders stay/hang straight and keep them from wanting to turn. This has NOT been an issue for me. Once I have the files folders in place they stay in place. Others said small scraps may fall out of the sides, I haven't had this problem but most of my paper are whole or half sheets. Even if they did pop out occasionally I would slip a thin cardboard insert on the sides as recommend by another reviewer. Would totally recommend this to anyone who is on the fence thinking about them. I purchased the covers so that I could store another small item on top of them. I ordered the base for each as well as I'm storing them both under a table side by side and this allows me to move them around freely and easily. Well made product that lets me maximize my craft space.
12 x 12 paper crate storage cube
I had been searching for a while for a solution for my 12x 12 designer paper, and this unit has met all my expectations.
Huge surprise hit!
I am shocked at how much I love this guy! I bought it to use as fast storage for scrapbook photos and memorabilia plus a bit of a hand desk overflow, to keep nearby when my craft desk got overcrowded. This product is SO lightweight and maneuverable, fitting easily under the desk when not in use, holding more than expected, and being very well constructed. Of all the products I ordered recently, I debated most about this, and I am so very glad I got it. Way more useful than I had even imagined it would be!
Great Crate!
This is the third paper crate I have purchased- I love that they are compact and stackable. I have all three of them on the wheeled base. I can easily move them around as needed, and slide them into the closet when I am done crafting to open up more floor space in my small craft room.
review
Perfect size. Sturdy and strong!
12x12 paper crate
This is my third crate I really like everything about them the size is perfect for my DSP, it comes with the hanging files, I can actually find what I want instead of digging through the “collection “ , I have sorted my DSP and use it so much more, when you add the rolling base moving the crates around under the tables is perfect!
Paper Crates
I now have 4 paper crates 3 12x 12 and 1 8 1/2 x 11. They are very well made and well worth buying. I have taken all my papers out of plastic boxes and filed them in these great paper crates. Awesome. Im so glad I decided to purchase the first set.. Now all I have to do is roll the crates over and scrap. Love them!
Paper Holder
Really enjoyed putting my papers away in the shelves. spacious and great way to divide my colors for ease of use.
love the paper crate!!
I recently got two paper crates for my 12x12 scrapbook paper and loved it so much that I sent for anther crate soon after! The crate is very well made and the filing system is wonderful. What I like: the crate can sit on a table which is very convenient because I am finding it harder to bend as I get olde. I like having the paper at arms' reach. .I keep the paper very organized in the file folders and can easily flip through the files to find what I am looking for- It shows great customer service that Stamp and Storage thoughtfully includes 12x12 file folders and tabs, realizing that the file folders would otherwise be hard to find! They think of the customers' needs. (Thank you!) What I also love about the vertical file system is that having the paper in file folders keeps it dust-free and nice looking. I received a call from Stamp and Storage regarding my shipment choice. They were very friendly and caring.
8 1/2 x 11 paper crates
Just bought 2 to store my card stock. My old system was a big time waster & I could never tell which colors I needed to order. Happy now.
Paper crates
I was thrilled with my paper crates and the fact that they come with the hanging file folder was a huge plus!! Quality can’t be beat with their products!
Paper Crates
I recently purchased two 12x12 paper crates and absolutely love them! Once I reorganize my craft room, I'll be purchasing a third one. Thank you for making such wonderful products!!
12 X 12 Rolling Crates
I love them for the most part. They are a little tight I would love for the file folders to move more smoothly, maybe a metal guide, and it would be wonderful it they were just a smidge wider, 1/8" would probably do it.
Best paper organizer ever!!!
Have tried all kinds of things over the years and these are sturdy and compact so they take up less room and because they stack I can take them with me to weekend crops!!
Paper Crates 12x12
Okay I seriously LOVE these paper crates. I now have 8 on 4 of the rolling bases. I really don't know how many hanging folders I have in each but, I now have all my PRINTED 12x12 paper in them. They are low enough to fit double stacked UNDER my craft table. I have organized them by categories in alphabetical order, I also have found some Library Cabinet Label Brackets, that I will be screwing on, so that I can put a changing Paper Label in each one, for easy reference when I need to find something. The only thing I have found is a lot of times my paper sticks out from the edges of the folder, and gets caught on the cutouts on the sides of the crates. I have SOLVED this issue, by cutting Light weight WHITE Cardboard in 8.5 inches by 12 to 13 inches. Oone piece goes on each side So the Files and Paper stay inside the cutout sides. Will try to take a picture and post. Not sure if I can do that in a Review. FOR MY MONEY these Crates are the BEST investment that I have made for Paper Storage. I can grab just one crate to take for a crop, and have what I need for a particular project. THANKS STAMP N STORAGE for a GREAT PRODUCT.

Paper crates
I have three of these crates and I love them. Best invention for storing 12 x 12 paper. They hold a lot of paper.. I don’t stack them because I keep them stored under a desk - I just ordered an extra wheel base. The wheels also lock into place if you don’t want them rolling around
paper crate
It seems so hard to store 12 x 12 paper in a way you can get at it. This crate is a reasonable solution. It is easy to move the crates around even when they have a lot of paper in them. I have 2 of mine on a shelf slightly below waist height and this is perfect. It is easy to open the folders and look at the contents. It is a relief to have this after my previous storage methods and I'm glad I bought the crates. I wish they sold cloth covers to go over the top to keep the dust out. There are two things that aren't perfect about this crate. It is slightly hard to slide the folders along the wooden rails. I think this will get easier with time and it isn't a bad defect. The "holes" on the sides of the crate are too large so if you're not careful, the folders don't sit down in snuggly and if there are scraps, they may poke out the side. But basically, I'm glad I have these, I'd buy them again, and it is a lot better than anything else I know of.
Paper Crate (12x12) &Rolling Base
Okay I have my 2 crates out of their shipping boxes, with no damage. They are currently stacked one on the other, and on the rolling base. I can not believe how light weight they are, but so strong. I have put the 50 hanging folders in the crates (25 in each) and am starting to sort my papers, and add the labeling for the hanging folders. Will give an update on these after Christmas, which will give me a month to use them and see if there are any issues. Right now I can't see anything that would be a problem.
Beautiful
This paper crate is beautifully crafted! I love the look and feel of the product and all its practical uses. Highly recommended.
8.5 x 8.5 paper crate
I purchased 2 of these crates. There are as well built and beautiful as all of the products at Stamp-n-Storage. I like that they're notched to stack well. They are indeed lightweight. The disadvantage is that once they are filled they are heavy and lifting one off of the other is a strain. I sort of expected this, but I needed something to get more organized and Stamp-n-Storage is always reliable.
crate and rollers
This storage crate is awesome !! And once put on the rollers it moves so easily. I was not sure it would and I have health issues which make me weak BUT I can move it !!! Love this and highly recommend.
Paper crate
Opened my stamp-n-storage crates and was delighted. They were just as advertised. Light weight and color. The hanging files came with and I also received the rolling base. Looking forward to organizing papers.
Paper Crate
Just got in from my vacation and found my new Paper Crate waiting! Opened the box and NO ASSEMBLY REQURED! AWESOME! Amazing that it is so lightweight yet sturdy! Can't wait to fill it!
12X12 Paper Crates
I was so excited to receive my 12X12 paper crates. I saw a Facebook Video months before they were in production, so that made it even more exciting to receive. The crates are smooth and durable but yet lightweight. The folders were perfectly with the crates as well. These will be easy to take on Scrapbook Crops!
12x12 Paper Crate
I love the new 12x12 paper crate so much and couldn't believe how much paper it holds. I love it so much that I ordered another one plus the rolling base for the paper crate. Thank you Stamp n' Storage for what you do best!!!
Paper crate
Love the paper crate and sturdy folders. I was surprised and delighted how well made the crate is and how the folders fit in the crate so well. I even had a few folders left empty but it is great to become organized. I love all my products from Stampnstorage.
Perfect for my needs
When the Paper Crate arrivedI couldn't wait to see it. The Crate is so nicely made and finished. It is light weight and fits perfectly into the cubby of my desk. The fact that I could get a 12" X 12" crate did it for me. I also got the
hanging files that are very sturdy and now my card stock and matching designer paper are all organized. Thank you for what you do so well.
