Saw this somewhere, a box where the bottom layer, neatly divided for
whatever they held, latched onto another layer, also neatly divided, latched
onto another layer, also neatly divided, latched onto another layer, also
neatly divided, (you get the picture, I can stop pasting).  The latches were
like tool box latches, giving it a very old time look.  To open, just undo
four latches, lift off the layer above, until all layers are on the floor as
6" (or whatever) high boxes.  No jumble of stuff in a large box, no loss of
space due to drawer slides.  This was done with about a 16"x 20" x 6" set of
boxes.  Forget where I saw it or what was in it, but it was a few years
ago.  I've been contemplating it for a tool box, with BIG latches.
