This box of course isn't described as actual rosewood, but I didn't expect it to be more of a dark red (a faux rosewood) that was poorly done by the manufacturer. My main issue with it was that it absolutely would not accommodate larger men's watches, and doesn't appear to be a product that would hold up over time. The shipping was fast, however, and I will say that the vendors customer service was excellent, they suggested and larger box to accommodate my watches, and then included shipping.
