This product is really beautiful.  It reminds me of one that I had as a child, only mine was a cheaper made jewelry box with some kind of pink princess design on the side.  The boxes with designs are very cute, but imagine them with some marker on, or as they age and the design stuck on the side starts to peel off.  This product is made to last.  There is no reason why my 6yo won't be able to proudly display this on her dresser when she's 30.  It's worth the extra money.
