I bought this as a present for my mom-in-law. she's a super-shopper, so it's tough to one-up her with a gift, but this jewelery box did the trick! She was so pleased that she could replace her old worn out white leather jewelry box with this beautiful wooden case that she was nearly in tears. She does so much for other people, it was nice to be able to get her something she really loved. Oh, yeah - and it was so well packed I could have thrown it out the car window to her without stopping and it wouldn't have gotten a scratch on it! Thanks for the 'perfect gift' Mele & Co.!
