Abstract: A container which may be repeatedly disassembled and reassemblied. The container is formed by several panels, each having portions of their edges notched to two different depths to form projecting, intermediate, and recessed steps which alternate with each other. The intermediate steps of each edge interfit with the projecting steps on the edge of an adjacent panel with the recessed steps of the two interfitting edges adjacent each other. The recessed steps receive a spring metal clip which extends from one panel to another. The clips have inwardly projecting tabs at each end which are inserted into a retaining groove on each panel adjacent the recessed steps. The clip overlies panel indentations which allow a pry bar to be positioned beneath the clip for removal of the clips from the grooves.
