Looks like an old jewelry box. I have a couple. I tend to like the wood ones better. Old silverware boxes are good too.
With any old box, I put in a shiny penny inside to see if the glue might tarnish the metal. If it does, it might not be so good for long term coin storage. The raw penny gives fair warning before anything in a slab might be changed.
Intercept shield holders and then in SDB, SDB not deep enough for the box. At home PCGS go in PCGS boxes since I have them and NGC and other slabs go in NGC boxes.
I like the red, double row Intercept Shield boxes. I started seeing some toning occuring on some of the coins I had in the PCGS blue boxes, plus they fill up too fast.
I keep slab collections in Eagle albums (wheaties and peace dollars) for easy viewing. Miscellaneous slabs and raw coins I keep in Intercept boxes. All of this I keep in a big, heavy, bolted-to-the-floor safe.
In the next room I keep my rotweiller, glock, and shotgun.
I use these "Team Bags" and boxes (lid not shown) from the local sports card shop. 56 slabs per box. Only about 5% of my collection is comprised of slabbed coins. My slabs are not kept in a safe deposit box. It's a reverse situation of most. My slabbed coins are my least expensive coins.
I store the coins in PCGS boxes in neat rows in the vault by the same categories in which they are listed on our website. I don't use the lids though - I like to know which boxes are full and which ones are empty at a glance.

You beat me to it.
Same here.
A safe that took me a whole day with a winch and large diameter PVC pipes to roll it in on.
You wouldn't believe how long it took to get him to sit still for this.

Sugar magnolia blossoms blooming, heads all empty and I don't care ...

Thieves -- given enough time -- will find them, guaranteed. Been there.
We could hijack this thread and tell burglary stories...complete this sentence:

Same here with two exceptions. Mines not quite that big and there ain't no one at my bank that looks like she does
