I like to put sleeves on my top loaders, and these boxes fit them perfectly, wall to wall/top to bottom, exact with the sleeves. So without sleeves there is less than 1/8" of play from side to side. Textured exterior, not smooth, gives it a nice look and feel, and is well constructed. Other boxes I have tried have lids with tight fits that create a vacuum seal as put the lid on, then you have to pull a lot as you hold the bottom to open it up, which can be a good and bad thing. This box does not fit as tight, so you can grab the top easily and pull it off without holding the bottom. Just be sure to pick the box up by the bottom and not the top, as the lid will just slide off as you try to lift the box. I prefer it this way. I ordered several sizes and they are perfect.
