I got this for a 9yr old girl on a Christmas Angel Tree, so I don't know her reaction to it. For myself I loved the appearance of it, but I was disappointed in the storage space.  The drawers are very tiny--only a couple of inches deep. I wish I had seen the larger one-compartment box.

It is a slick-paper wrapped sturdy cardboard box, and seemed to be well made for what it is, but it wouldn't stand up to much abuse. I especially liked the butterfly, and music.

I had two music jewelery boxes as a child and I still have them and treasure them to this day--I'm 56. I was wanting to give something that would provide this child with a similar experience but I'm not sure this box is substantial enough to provide this over the long term. Still I really liked it, and for the right child in the right circumstances it would be a treasure.
