Lumber storage receptacles

Wooden boxes are containers made of wood, typically rectangular with rigid sides.

The phrase is straightforwardly descriptive rather than idiomatic—any box constructed from wood qualifies: The attic was full of old wooden boxes, She packed the apples in wooden boxes for shipping.
