I received my chest in perfect condition. I bought it to hold my beads. I decided to make it a jewelry box instead because it has different size drawers.  I have a collection of jewelry boxes of different sizes and shapes. This box seems to stand out because it's an apothecary chest for herbs and spices and sometimes medicine. It's larger than I thought and it has weight to it. I think it's well made inspite of some other reviews on similar chests. I couldn't wait to get it open.  I would recommend it even for the garage for small tools.
