Some people say they are good some say they arent. I dont use them myself.
One hypothesis with hide boxes is that when beardies feel threatened they will run and hide in them. this includes when you put your hands in the tank for feeding or handleing. They grow acutomed to this and become more skittish. When infact you want them to stay out in the open and get used to being held. I have not tried this myself but it does make a little sense. If you want to provide an area for your beardie to feel secure, try plastic or silk plants. They are still out in the open but at the same time feel secure in them.
just a couple thoughts on this, but im sure there are quitea few people out there that use hide boxes with no problems.
peace,
nate
