Wooden Storage Box Container with Hinged Lid and Front Clasp, 9.4'' x 7.7'' x 4.3'' Large Keepsake Box, Rustic Wood Boxes for Crafts Art Hobbies and Home Decoration - Light Flaming

It’s just right for sitting on the end table. It holds things like my eye drop.

Bought these lovely wood boxes to use as a meds container and for storing other trinkets. They are really lovely, well made and I love them. I bought a couple more for a friend for same uses.

Lightweight but well put together. I'm using it as a gift box with a gift inside so it does not have to super sturdy. Clasp works well and it is the perfect size for my needs.

This is a well-made wooden box, it smells wonderful! I just got a puppy and who is of the opinion that everything needs to have teeth marks on it, so I put my various recliner side table items in the box to keep that from happening. Glad I got this! It’s a little pricey, but like I say it’s well-made, and will probably last a long long time.

Very nice storage box, well made

As expected

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.

Having read some of the reviews, I knew what I was ordering. I was very pleased because it was just the right size for my craft table. The color of the finished wood was lovely. I had to tighten the screws attached to the lid, but that was easy. Happy with my purchase!
