Comments:Octagonal boxes like those shown here are somewhat time-consuming to make because of the number of units required.
 
However, the extra effort is well worthwhile because the final result is so attractive and useful.
 
Although these boxes may look rather delicate and fragile, they are actually surprising sturdy -- thanks to how the units overlap each other and the tight locks where the units connect with each other.
