As advertised these collar stays are metal.

They are pointy at one end and made of metal.

The metal does not suffer from washing.

The metal is heavy enough to keep your collar down.

The metal is pointy enough to make your collar pointy.

The box they come in is useless for storage.  Absolutely useless.  They will come jumbled up and you will never find the box useful for storage.  The box it comes in has no use.  I do not use the box for storage as it is not helpful in holding or organizing the stays by size.  There are five slots, four slots are filled with stays.  The stays are free to roam as they like.  Free-range stays.  My stays usually live on my shelf in a loose collective.  Sometimes i leave them in shirts.

I do not use the little box to store the stays as the little box is not good as a stay storage area.  The little box is less effective then my shelf at this task.  the shelf does not actively disorganize the stays and create a frustrating jumble of various sized stays which are also in a restricted area with unsecured foam dividers floating around.

Also the the foam from the lid is not attached.

So i guess i like the stays but not the little box.  Overall a good purchase.
