I'm sorry, can i change my nomination? Because if it is "Furniture Grade" Deck Storage instead of "Brick Box", I would nominate "The Attack" by Creative Brain Vessel. Uusi Redux box is still great, but i would say "The Attack" wins it for me.

Because of the change of category, we kinda have to give you an option to change your mind.  But just once!  And yes, that's a pretty cool-looking box.

I would like to second this.

Thought i just share for those who missed it.

Creative Brain Vessel created a 1 Deck, 2 Deck & 3 Deck box namely, "Squid", "Whale", and "The Attack" respectively. I thought i nominate "The Attack" since it looks great and is able to showcase his whole range of decks in the Seven Seas series.

Perhaps you could tell us more about the box that's been nominated?  I can't think of a better way to promote it and make it sound more interesting.  :))

Sure thing.  Box tops were Originally Hand Sculpted by Myself Douglas Koozer. Cast, then Walnut Stained in Resin, inset into lid.
Boxes are hand-fabricated from 3/8" thick Walnut with a Maple strip and Walnut Veneer.
There is a slight Cove milled in the Maple Strip around the Top.
The TOP is Maple Plywood set flush with the top of the Maple strip and then a WALNUT Veneer Applied
The Interior Dividers for the Decks and Dice Sets are made from Walnut.
The Bottoms are made from Pine / Poplar and have a 1-1/2" diameter holes to hold the associated Coins.
There are slots on the side of each hole to help with lifting the Coins.
The area under the coins is Leather embossed with the BRAINVESSEL LOGO / TRADEMARK
The Two parts of the Box fit together with a stepped seal.
All edges have been slightly eased and the Finish is two coats of High Gloss wipe on TUNG OIL (which can be reapplied by the customers needed).
