My daughter bought this as a Christmas present for me in 2011, and it is perfect for my needs. It perfectly combines both function and form. I have an eclectic palette, so the small 'imperfections' in the metal & welds combined with the color variations go in step with my tastes. If you are looking for a perfect appearance or something that 'blends in', I imagine you wouldn't like this jewelry holder - but it's a wonderful (not so) little eyecatcher for those of us who prefer and/or don't mind a little bit of pizzazz. The quality is high, it doesn't wobble or wiggle and the 'nest' is an added bonus for rings and  or watches. There are only 2 drawbacks - 1)you can't really use it for studs and 2) earring wires (depending on length) can sometimes be an bit hard to put in/take out of the holes in the leaves. But that really isn't an issue if you're not in a hurry in the morning. Overall, I LOVE this earring holder. It would look nice on any dresser and complement any decor.
