I bought this for my mother as a gift.  It arrived from the shipper with difficulties as they put my name (purchaser) on the Shipping Address instead of my mom's name as stated on the order so the shipment to her apt for me was denied since I do not live there. It took 2 days and a few phone calls to Amazon and Fedex to get it straightened out.
The key/lock is flimsy and to get it to work the key has to be wiggled just right.
The wood base / bar at the bottom that connects the two side stands is thin and the screws they give you are big so DO NOT Over tighten in the littlest way as it WILL crack the wood!
It does take 2 people to put it together unless you have the unit laying down.
It's top heavy so be sure that small children are not around as it will topple over.
The inside of the case is very nice with LOTs of options for all sorts of jewelry.  My mom loved it so that is all that matters.
