The box is to have a square box but it should have a different, shorter, 
depth than the length of sides of the back.  I don't know how to do that 
with PolyhedronData["Cube"].  Where, how do I scale the dimensions -- 
without directly editing the individual vertices in the constituent 
polygons resulting from Most[Normal[PolyhedronData["Cube"]][[1, 1]]].
