They work fine, I have used them in the past for exactly what you are referring to.

im about to use two of them from hobby lobby  . one of the big wood ones for an acoustic and the heart shaped card board for a uke for my daughter . Every box or tin i pass i pick up and tap . lol im sure i look crazy . even worse i usualy say oh i bet this will sound great ! haha ive noticed quite a few stares and confused looks . sad thing is all they have to do is ask and ill show them how to build one . info is free . you just have to be brave enough to ask a big tattooed guy standing in a craft store why he is tapping on heart shaped boxes lol .

There is one made from an aftermarket box.  It plays well and the box opens.

There is a full view of it.

Watch for ill fitting boxes.  Also, the tops are poplar ply and are a pain to get a good finish on.  If you stain, seal first.
