What do you think of this for a grow box??

Well I have been thinking how I am going to grow my plants and I realized in my cupboard there is an old toy chest I have had for years. I thought if I were to put it on it's side it would be a good little contained box for my plants.

You think this would work? I want to keep it small as I can really.

I am going to paint it white or get some reflective stuff to put inside, then drill some holes for the wires etc and hopefully it should fit in the plants if I keep them small enough.
