I purchased this jewelry box as a gift for my son. The price was right (as of 12/2011), but I was a little worried that the lower price would translate into a cheap looking box.

My fears were unfounded. This is a very nice looking box. It is sturdy, made out of wood, with black faux leather stretched over it. The fake leather is nicely turned and fitted. There are no wrinkles or gaps, etc. It is elegant looking. As it's not real leather, it will not wear the same as leather, but this is a box, not shoes, and it looks great. The box has a hard base that holds the vinyl corners a little above the dresser surface, so even the bottom corners will last longer.

The box closes with a magnetic clasp. It has great white top-stitching on the cover and the clasp. The inside is covered in a pale tan synthetic moleskin - again, it is elegant. The inside is divided into eight compartments. One is covered in the faux leather instead of the tan moleskin. The description calls it a "coin slide".  There are two removable padded watch cushions in their own compartments.

I've added three customer images which may help you make up your mind. The first is a close up of the outside. The second shows the open box with the two watch cushions in place. The third shows the watch cushions taken out.

Lastly, as this may be important to some, this jewelry box is "CARB Composite Wood Compliant Phase 1 Standards".  This means that the composite wood used passes the Phase 1 standards for avoiding formaldehyde emissions.

I am very pleased with this gift. It is made by "Mele & Co, Since 1912".
