High quality, sturdy, well made. Worth every penny. Very attractive, be proud to keep any personal items inside. Can be stained, varnished or just left as is. I am pleased.

I don't usually leave reviews as most products don't exceed my expectations, but this box did. First it was very well packaged, bubble wrapped like a gift and then in a plastic wrapper, so none of the edges got nicked or dented. Then the quality of the wood, not the normal pressed sawdust wood, real wood. It was sanded smooth , with beautiful grain detail. On top of that the lid has a nice rounded edge on it, which was just a nice detail. Overall, a really, really nice product, I would definitely recommend and will buy again.

I bought a box to keep my 🍃 in and you can still smell it through the container and the box

I ordered this box to hold a family heirloom that I was giving for Christmas. It was just the right size, looks fine and will protect the gift for any years.

So my reaction to these boxes is somewhat mixed. From a distance, they're attractive. In the hand, it becomes apparent that the wood hasn't been sanded smooth and that the finish can fairly easily rub off. In fact, there isn't any type of varnish, shellac, or sealer at all; just a dye of some sort that has been applied to the wood. That wood has a raised nappe, kind of what you'd get if you sanded a pine board, wiped it down with a damp paper towel, and let it dry. (I suspect that the dye applied is water-based, so that scenario may not be too far from what actually has happened.) Typically, damp-wiping to raise the grain would be an intentional step prior to additional sanding. In the case of these boxes, it's the end state. I tried a bit of very light sanding to remove the fuzz from the wood's surface and realized that the color was coming off faster than the fuzz was. Also, the wood is very soft. You can feel it compress when you give it a pinch, kind of the way a sheet of foam board would feel. So, as something that is going to be on display or handled frequently, I think one of thes boxes may disappoint. In the photos, they look suitable for this purpose but not so much in reality. I considered spraying some shellac onto them but decided that I'd need to remove the hardware to do it properly and the whole process seemed more involved than I wanted. So, I left them a bit fuzzy and gloss-less.On the up side, they're reasonably sturdy boxes for storing smaller items. They're built well enough to hold objects fairly securely (though nothing you'd want under lock-and-key) and to afford protection from external bumps and jostles. I'll be using them to store lots of small things in a cabinet (pens, pencils, scissors, label maker, computer cables, extension cords, etc.). I won't be putting anything that's hard, heavy, and uneven on top of them, which I think would leave indentations in the boxes' surfaces. Without the boxes, the small objects would be all over the place and would hard to be find in the cabinet's larger volume. Also, this particular cabinet has glass doors, so a few of these boxes look a lot nicer (at the distance and through the glass from which they are viewed) than a lot of loose objects or containers made from cardboard or plastic. So, for my use case, they're adequate. Of course, plastic or cardboard containers of the same size would likely cost considerably less.I think potential buyers should evaluate the strengths and limitations of these boxes and judge those in reference to the intended use. In some cases, they'll provide a good storage solution. In others, They well may come up short of your expectations. I distilled these drawbacks and strengths into a 3-star rating. But depending on your use case, a 2-star or 4-star evaluation might be more accurate.

The box is just as advertised. It is sturdy, has a good latch, and if you wish, ready for decorating.

I ordered this wood box for my kid to keep knickknacks in. The lightweight wood looks great! I added a felt liner to the floor of the box to make it look a bit more high end or special.4 / 5 star!I took one star off as the wood has some blemishes and the box feels very light weight. Still seems worth the money to me. I'm not sure my kid will even notice the wood blemishes.
