I brought this unit for my mother's birthday. It is absolutely gorgeous. The wood has a high gloss and looks like it should cost more than what it is priced for. I had the unit delivered to her job (she's a show-off); when she opened it she called me right away, thanking me over and over again (I could hear her co-workers in the background complimenting her). My mother is a jewelry-holic, so it was not big enough for all of her jewelry. However, she was able to fit her really nice and expensive stuff inside with room to spare (for more gifts).
