Best box by far is the Plattforms uk series 5, (£299 at Fosters), well made and has the best seat by far of any box. Preston box has lots of plastic that can crack or snap, lets in water and footplate not the easiest to use. The ultimatehenglesport box again lots of plastic etc catches, dont know of any shops that are going to stock them, will be very, very hard to get spares for, go for the Plattforms uk, (6 draw shortly on the market)

Kiley 5 draw is my current box, give the draws a couple of coats of varnish, I have just had to replace the lid/seat but at over 7 years I suppose that aint too bad.
