I purchased this to store small earrings.  I previously stored earrings in a vertical container (designed to hold tiny scrapbooking embellishments) and found that I wore the same earrings most of the time because I couldn't clearly see everything I had to choose from.  This tray solves that problem.  It does not come with any sort of lid/cover, and I didn't realize that before I bought it.  (Perhaps I didn't read the description well enough before purchasing.)  This product seems well made and fits snugly atop the longer Axis tray.  This is a good product for the money.
