This item is a work of art. The color is a bit lighter that pictured, however it is still beautiful.

My Wife Loved it

It is sturdy, yet delicate looking. I used it to store a birthday gift. It is a beautiful find.

Quality and Appearance Not as Expected

dmcnado from San Diego, CA, Oct 4, 2007

The quality and appearance of this box were not as expected and the box did not look anything like the online photo. Color is very washed out and light, not vibrant like the online pic. Nothing to write home about and very little value for the price. Quality of the workmanship is sub-par. Wood is thick, but carving is not fine.
