Thanks, Savraj - I did the box design along with the structural design group at Corrugated Container Corp ( http://www.cccbox.com/ ). Usually manufacturers' design services are not that great, but these guys know their stuff.
I got my Twine yesterday and I, too, am majorly impressed with the design and "solidness" feel of the box. It almost feels like the box is made of wood.
Hard to believe we get so excited over a cardboard box, but I have to admit kudos is deserved for it. It's on par with the box my NEST thermostat came in, and "i" products too. Except this one has no plastic, so it's a little more friendly.

I had a hard time recycling it this morning.
Next time we'll make it repurposable for something else so you won't have to throw it away.
