Is this good for storing a boxspring in an attic for a few years?

I can't say for sure; I'm certain that that purpose is not "on the list". But, I would think that it would do the job.... at

Absolutely...of course i just bought mine..but the material is good quality. It cant be left in standing water, but it will retard moisture. It should all the dust out etc. I think it will be fine in several years.

I'm sure that "storing a box springs for a few years" is not one of the uses that had been envisioned. However, the cover is designed to keep out very little bugs, so I don't see why you couldn't use it as a storage container. It is not air tight, so I would have some slight concern about mold & mildew (it is quite humid where we live); there are desiccants available to absorb moisture inside such a covering. In that case, I would also wrap it in plastic.

yes it would do well in that enviroment, but the top side of it is made of a soft fabric with plastic like material underneath so if you do store it in an attic i'd cover with with something else to protect it from dust, if you never plan on taking the cover off if used on a bed in the furture .

I think it would highly depend on your climate. Due to the fact that the majority of this storage bench is made of MDF (Medium density fiberboard) It would eventually swell and decompose in climates with a lot of humidity. Personally I do not recommend this as an outdoor item unless you live in a VERY dry area and keep it out of the elements where it cannot get wet, ie a covered porch area & even then it would certainly shorten the lifespan of said storage bench.

I keep mine in a cabinet. As long as it's dark and dry you should be good. They won't last for extended amounts of years but at least 1 yr they are definitely good. Hope that helps :)

yes. In fact I would recommend putting in on a boxspring. We put my daughters on a piece of plywood but it's too low to the ground.

The rack could be taken apart apart and stored in the original box but it would be more trouble than I would be willing to take. You would also have to open the box more carefully than I did so you would have the original box intact.

We use it for yard rakes, shovels, hoes, with long handles. I suppose if you stored items in boxes theywould have to be the right width and lengths, stacked on top of each other, it would hold quite a few.Hope this has been helpful. We love ours used for our needs.

probably yes. if it is just for transporting then i would say yes. if you used them to store heavy stuff and the box got damp, it might not hold up. i have them full of files, just like the picture, and they are absolutely strong enough for that use. i wouldn't hesitate putting books in these strong boxes. good luck! -s

I use mine for storing my 40 ft. extension ladder in the garage. I am not sure if it would be appropriate for a cargo box.

Considering the "box" is plastic it will not be very rugged to be begin with. I doubt your needs will be met.

I don't see why not? Its made of plastic, so it can get wet, however its not sealed, so weather would get in through the doors. I think as long as you are storing items that can survive getting wet and the extremes of weather, it should be fine. Otherwise, I'd get one of those bench/box things.

If you're storing whole boxes of comics on a rack, then it should be fine. I wouldn't necessarily use the rack to store single issues on their own as the liners are thin and a bit flimsy.

I have stored boxes of cigars in coolers before and have found that they are easy to humidify. I would think this will work well.

That's where I've been using one of mine. I have a dry basement, so I guess it depends. So far, no problems, in fact it solves a lot of problems for storing woolens over the summer. There's a piece of cedar that repels moths.

If you are trying to fit it into the box for storage I would not because it bends and deforms the edges. I put store mine in a Rubbermaid tube approximately 10 gal I think. This way if there is a little bit of water in it, it will not damage the tub can withstand water.

Yes it can be stored in an attic. I have it in my closet! It has a Velcro thing that holds it closed!!

The rack can definitely be taken apart and stored, but you'll need to find another box. The one it came in is too flimsy. I just tied the pieces together with wire and stored it as-is in ten my attic. I did keep the base put together

It is really easy to tear down and put back together, it will be fairly bulky to store but if you have the room it should work.
