    Mislabelled. Says storage 'boxes' but actually links to a crappy 'shelf on wheels' with no back.

    Pine storage boxes are here:

    We bought these years ago for our youngest, and although they do the job quite well when they have the plastic storage boxes in, they are a pain in the backside to clean.

    It's not 'smooth' wood, it like natural wood and once dirty, a cloth won't clean it very well. Imagine trying to wipe down timber with a cloth .. it's the same thing.

    Not a bad price to store in a shed or garage though

    It is mislaballed. It says a box and it is not a box. A box being a container typically constructed with four sides perpendicular to a base

    I'm with you on this - they are not boxes in the OP. They are basically shelving units on wheels. No good for storage unless you buy the additional trays to go in them.

    This kind of thing from Argos are generally poor quality anyway and not worth the money IMO.

    if it is mislabelled then it is the fault of Argos and not OP. They have simply quoted what Argos are quoting. Having said that i was also expecting something similar to a tea chest lol

    I have 2 of the 3X2 stacked one on top of the other with those plastic storage crates in & it does a brilliant job.
    If you want clean easy storage buy Expedit units from Ikea with the Dronga storage boxes (cheapest option). I have both & both do equally the same job just depends on your budget.

    No one said anything about who's fault it was but OP could have made it clear.
