Good reasonably sturdy storgage for a load of cards stored in portrait fashion. This enables you to move around a huge collection all at once.

I'd also get some BCW card dividers (packs of 10 to mark where different types of cards begin & end) + some BCW Monster pad dividers - which when placed next to cards prevent them moving about when you don't fill up a whole row - kind of expandable foam stuff. You don't want to completely fill a row otherwise you can't get your fingers in - so just remove a pad to get at your cards. Takes sleeved & unsleeved cards.

The boxes arrive flatpack in 3 pieces and although once you have made up one box its obvious - initial assembly can be tricky.

Fold everything on the creases basically and you won't go far wrong. Instructions sent from BCW below (although they make it sound a bit more complicated than it is). Flare out the ends of the dividers and put the flared ends under the box side tabs - is the only thing you would probably need advice on:

I actuly bought two of these, as my first one filled up. it holds 5 rows of cards. each row can contain a large number of cards I'd guess somewere between 1,000- 2,000 cards.Anyway it took me 1 year to fill it. My only gripe is the lack of assembly instructions. I used a web site that had a pdf file with instructions to assemble both of my boxes. once assembled thought they are invaluable. these boxes are huge hence the "monster" title. it comes flatend and takes about 10 minutes to assemble with online instrutctions.I would still buy over other lesser quality boxes.

As a Magic player with an ever-growing collection, I had no real idea how many cards I had until I put this box together and started filling it up. Previously, I was using left over Fat Pack hard boxes and a single big plastic card sorter box that held maybe 1,000 cards max, on their sides. Now I've got EVERYTHING sorted into this one big box; lands in one slot, colored cards taking up about 2 slots, colorless cards taking up half a third slot, and the rest of the space used up by deck boxes and as-of-yet unsorted cards. Note that some of those deck boxes are in fact empty and acting as spacers so the cards don't all fall over. I absolutely love this box; sorting in new cards and searching through my collection during deck building has never been so easy for me.

I do have a few small quibbles, though. For one, when full, this thing is HEAVY, but that's to be expected. Second, as others have said, you have to put it together yourself, but anyone with a little common sense and a look at the finished product image here online should be able to fold the pieces and slot them together in about 5 minutes. Lastly, mine shipped in a massive and largely empty (as in wasted space) cardboard box, easily 5 times bigger than the resulting assembled card box. Looked like a flatscreen TV or something could've fit in it, Styrofoam and all. It seemed like overkill, but my cat had fun playing in it before I threw it out.
