A collapsible box that provides access through both its top and front side. When set up, said box comprises a (i) horizontal upper section and (ii) horizontal lower section, said sections attached to each other via a pair of opposed vertical sidewalls. When said upper section is gripped by hand and lifted upwardly, said upper section will separate from said lower section and the box will open. Each of said sidewalls comprises a set of upper and lower panels, said panels attached to each other via a hinge that extends horizontally across the approximate center of said sidewall. The top of each sidewall is attached to one end of said upper section via a horizontal hinge; the bottom of each sidewall is attached to one end of said lower section via a horizontal hinge. Said lower section comprises the floor of said box. Said upper section comprises the top lid and two panels that rest horizontally underneath said top lid. As said box is being set up, said panels resting underneath said top lid can be moved into position to form the (i) back wall and (ii) front door. In a preferred embodiment, a set of track and runner structures provide a means of connecting a plurality of vertically stacked boxes, all of said connected boxes opening simultaneously when the top box is lifted upward.
