Do any of you use these boxes that PCGS sells? Do you like them?

Actually, I think the OP is refering to the Cherry wood boxes PCGS sells.
The name is LEE!

If your talking about the ones that PCGS ships their hard plastic ones in after you get about 5 or more coins graded, yes. I bought a few to store my coins in so I can write on the box which contains what. I believe they cost about 50 cents each.....You can also use them to submit coins.
My E-Bay Stuff
I do use the plastic boxes. I've got three blue ones now. One is holding my Morgans and the other my gold and miscellaneous. I just got a third one, and it's holding my trade stack at the moment, though once I trade things out, it'll get repurposed into holding my raw coins and bullion rolls, for a more uniform look. Then again, I may soon lose that uniformity, as I'm planning to swap out one box for an NGC one, since their boxes hold both PCGS and NGC, and I've got a few gold coins in NGC holders.
I've seen ads showing the same wood design with the NGC logo; I wonder if the wood PCGS-labelled boxes could hold both holder types? Given that my collection is decidedly PCGS-heavy with a few NGC odd ones out, the PCGS labelling would make a little more sense. But, then again, I don't want to overthink the box. (According to business seminars, I'm supposed to think outside it, anyway.)
I'd really like to have a box of the same dimensions but without divider slats; I could fit more coins in the same amount of space that way. PCGS holders are stackable and interlock, with the notable exception of the old-style rattlers, which are slimmer and take up even less space. A box of the same size as the blue plastic PCGS carton but without dividers could hold about 24 coins instead of 20--more if some are old-style rattlers. That would allow me to postpone storage space in the vault problems for a year or two before I have to think about paring down or up-trading my collection.
