title: Box
description:
The most abstract styling component in Chakra UI on top of which all other
Chakra UI components are built.
---
<ExampleTabs name="box-basic" />
## Usage
The `Box` component provides an easy way to write styles with ease. It provides
access to design tokens and an unmatched DX when writing responsive styles.
```jsx
import { Box } from "@chakra-ui/react"
```
```jsx
<Box />
```
## Examples
### Shorthand
Use shorthand like `bg` instead of `backgroundColor`, `m` instead of `margin`,
etc.
<ExampleTabs name="box-with-shorthand" />
### Pseudo Props
Use pseudo props like `_hover` to apply styles on hover, `_focus` to apply
styles on focus, etc.
<ExampleTabs name="box-with-pseudo-props" />
### Border
Use the `borderWidth` and `borderColor` prop to apply border styles.
> **Good to know:** Chakra applies `borderStyle: solid` globally so you don't
> have to.
<ExampleTabs name="box-with-border" />
### As Prop
Use the `as` prop to render a different component.
> Inspect the DOM to see the rendered component.
<ExampleTabs name="box-with-as-prop" />
### Shadow
Use the `boxShadow` or `shadow` prop to apply shadow styles.
<ExampleTabs name="box-with-shadow" />
### Composition
Here's an example of a property card built with layout primitives in Chakra.
<ExampleTabs name="box-property-card" />
## Props
The `Box` component supports all CSS properties as props, making it easy to
style elements.
