Amateur hour! The cinder blocks are all aligned and could more easily tip over; stagger those joints! The top will scratch your phone; put a piece of wood, cardboard, or an old shirt on top to protect it. Also, throw away that phone box, that shit ain't collectable.

Maybe I'll need that phone box in the future

I will admit that I store old phones in the original box.

Same with some old computer parts.

I used to do that.

Now I use a box cutter and cut out any bar codes or serial numbers off most of the boxes and put them in the motherboard box with the rest of manuals and accessories. It was hard at first but it's been good.

Great for shipping RMA, you know it will fit and get there in the condition it left in.

I've repurposed a few of those boxes, though my most recent iPhone box couldn't be repurposed, so that one I threw out.
