No matter how pretty the tissue companies make their boxes, they still look like cardboard boxes. Tissue boxes made for the bathroom don't look good enough to put in my office, either. So this box, that looks like two books stacked together, fit the bill. It doesn't hold the tissue box inside, but that's not a problem. It holds the tissues and that's what counts. The price seemed a little steep but I'm not returning it because it does what it's intended to do. If I had it to do over, I'd buy it again. It just sits on my desk and looks pretty, offering me tissues when I need them.
