Review on 🗂️ Pendaflex Portable File Box in Black, 11 Inches Height x 14 Inches Width x 6.5 Inches Depth (model 41732) by Angie Johnson

Good: Glossy black plastic looks nice; not the most amazing design, but it's not ugly like many other options for this type of product. Relatively small and compact, so has a medium to small document capacity, but easily fits in various places, such as B. in my tiny apartment. Bad: Not durable! The hinge mechanism is poorly designed - a very tight mechanism. The plastic is brittle. The combination causes you to almost break the lid every time you open it. My first came with a broken hinge. I sent it back and my new one hasn't broken (yet), but I don't expect longevity. Also, the handle is on the lid, which requires you to make sure the latch is closed, but it's easy to almost, but not quite, latch so you'll need to double-check. A minor thing, but it only adds to the general feeling that you need to take care of this thing or it will break or throw your documents everywhere. Overall: not durable, not long-lasting and therefore annoying to use. For the price I expected something better, with a real hinge mechanism and stronger/less brittle plastic. I'd rather pay more and get something harder and more attractive.
