Nice box Jim. The horizontal grain run works for me in this build. For my taste, the handles are a little clunky, but it is not my box so who cares? How did you connect the rails to the legs? More than once I have built a second item after completing the first one because "now I really know how to build this because that was not the way" and the recipient of the second item gets the better of the two while I keep the first (mistakey) one.

M&T leg/rail connections is indeed another step in the woodworking evolution, but still looks like a nice box to me and it will probably outlast its use. Good stuff and we are waiting on the next project.
