Disappointing: get the black leatherette
I have one of the black leatherette boxes, but thought this one (a nice, wooden box with an sixth drawer) would be an upgrade. Not so. This box is disappointing. It looks nice in a rustic-craftsmen kind of way, and the color does match the pictures. But there are just so many flaws! The wood is lightweight and soft, so it's going to get dented. It's not well sanded: there are gritty areas. The drawers/trays have a lot of play (it's shipped with cardboard spacers to prevent rattling) and don't slide well. The tray I tried putting a liner into was just barely big enough: I had to squeeze and coax the sides of the liner to push it in. The drawer bottoms are visible along the drawer fronts and the holes for the tiny finishing nails are visible along the sides of the top. There are significant (quarter inch?) gaps between the drawers: using anti-tarnish strips in the box would utterly pointless. Basically, if you had this where customers could see/touch/hear it, it would not contribute to an overall sense of luxury in your store or booth. If you like it for personal use, just be aware of what you're getting. Not necessarily a negative, but the handles are glued on: do not plan to replace them.

Overpriced for poor quality
I do not recommend this item. It is barely holding together, one of the handles is already becoming detached, and I haven't even used it. It will not be up to holding gemstones which is what I bought it for.
