BEST nesting boxes?

[RainValleyFarm]

Hi all! What are you best suggestions for nesting boxes? Easiest to clean and maintain? Thinking wood will actually be the hardest? Links and pictures appreciated!!

I use a couple of old wooden cabinets, like the shorter ones that sometimes go over stoves? I put a divider in each to make 2 nests per cabinet and a piece of wood to front to hold in the nest material. They clean out easily.

When I remodeled the Little Monitor Coop I changed from a top-opening nest to a drop-down nest. I think that it's much better that way because there is no hinge in the roof to leak and it can't fall on my head when I'm getting eggs.

Old plastic milk crates.. cut out a square on the front and screw to a wall.. or set on the floor.. plus they are stackable.. and ventilated. Used to use old wooden fruit crates back in the day,, every one was a double nest.. Chicks loved em', but you can't get there from here anymore.. Sorry no pics.. my phone is attached to the wall by a curly wire.
