Purchased as Christmas gift for my nieces. Added a few earrings and it was perfect.
One niece laid it more flat/horizontal as preference. she wanted less of an angle, so it was only slightly elevated. put it  in her draw.
And it worked!
Black felt is soft and earrings will stand out. I wouldn't call it that durable. but not sure  it needs to be if on one's dresser or in a drawer.
Cost to product gave it 5 stars.
