I  needed a storage system to keep my earrings.  I could never find the pair I wanted!  This really fits the bill.  Longer earrings can be a challenge, though.  The space between the tiers is 1 11/16", to give you an idea of how much room you have.  Also, pinning post styles can sometimes be a little awkward, trying to put your hand inside.  Overall, I'm glad I got this!
