The boxes are in good condition. Their measurements are 25.75 "h x 20.5"w x 20.5"d. They were used for shipping exterior lights to us. I can get photos if need be. Thank you all in advance for any ideas at all. Otherwise I am cutting them up and putting the out for recycling.icon

    I tend to keep a few 2-3 for storing off season clothes.

      Thank you DFM. We did that with the first 10 boxes. We also helped our grandchildren paint and decorate some for a temporary out-door castle/playscape, adventure game. They loved it (till we had a

      heavy rain.)

    Recycle or donate to a school for them to cut up

    Thank you Cindy. If we can't come up with a better idea that is what we

    were planning on doing.

    I noticed on a local 'buy/sell' that some people have been looking for moving boxes, you could offer them there. Over the years I have used boxes for a variety of things. In the early days, they were my coffee, end tables and bedroom night stands (with a cloth placed to cover them up). I have used them to make book and nick-knack shelves Now I use the heavy boxes to build houses and play areas for my cat.
