I got these to store the small cards for the Eldritch Horror game. They fit 45 unsleeved cards comfortably. Card dimensions 1 5/8 X 2 1/2 IN (41 X 63 MM). The boxes also slide together at the top and sides and have grooves on the tops and bottoms so they turn into a nice single unit that fits into the original game box.
12 of these boxes fit all of the small cards from the first five Eldritch Horror expansions (Forsaken Lore, Mountains of Madness, Strange Remnants, Under the Pyramids and Signs of Carcosa) except the artifacts. I'll probably order another set of the connect-a-box as the newer expansions come out.
These small boxes from Cottage Mills are the best containers for storing small and tiny parts. The latch is secure, they are sturdy and they can be joined together to keep similar items grouped. There are many sizes to choose from. And maybe best of all they are manufactured by a small company in the US.
These boxes are super great! I have ordered them 3 times now. They are small hinge top containers that fit together thereby taking up less room. They come in three sizes, (for details look at the description on the page), that easily fit together with little but strong tabs on the sides. I uav some to organize my nails, screws, bolts onset other little tool things; some to organize my beads abs small metal findings and stampings, and some more to organize my sewing stuff. Needed something to organize your pills? Your ointment for travel? Spices? Endless uses.
These are great containers for holding very small items, such as beads or possibly rings. The interlocking design is quite clever and allows the boxes to be configured in many different ways.
But... they compartments are quite small. I got them to hold board game tokens, etc., but quite honestly, other than the large ones they are just too small. The small one is tiny and the medium one, while large enough to hold tokens, won't hold very many.
The large ones are more useful (but still too small for cards unless the cards are much smaller than a standard playing card).
Hope this helps anyone deciding what kinds of things can be stored inside.
I purchased these with the intent to better store the components in my various board games instead of relying on the tiny ziploc bags they come with by default.
By and large they do do the job, but are a little on the small side depending on the game. For example, a Large box will fit all the wooden components for a single player in Catan, but 2 are needed for a player in Scythe. Ultimately though, even if multiple boxes are used, it makes the box far more organized and easier to set up and put away.
If there were any improvements I'd like to see, it'd be the release of an Extra Large size, with the same length and width of a large, but twice the height.

I actually ordered this to use as a big pill organizer for my mom. It is bigger than pill organizer so it does a great job. My only complain is that it is little hard to open and shut. I like the fact that you can connect these boxes.
I bought a package of assorted sizes to use for organizing, storing, and carrying some of my small knitting notions, primarily stitch markers. These containers are perfect for this purpose. The small ones are just the right size for tucking into a notions bag, project bag, or tote bag, and the lids fasten securely so that there's little chance of spillage. The boxes connect together and stack, so I can fit quite a few of them into a small space in the drawer next to my knitting chair. Just be aware that these containers are small. The measurements are given, so I knew they would be the perfect size for my purposes, but it appears that some purchasers bought them without paying attention to the measurements and were disappointed that the containers were small.
The small ones are too small for my needs (board game bits), but the medium and large are good. The interlocking pieces are a fun idea, but I don’t think it is necessarily better than other storage boxes. One downside is that when they are back to back (which they must be if you want it wider) you can’t open both covers wide at the same time.
Good product. Picture is somewhat misleading. These boxes although very well made are tiny more useful for beads or other tiny objects. They snap together and have closed lids, this makes them unique in their own way.
Convenient storage. I love that it comes apart and clicks together.
