Darling accent piece for my nautical themed bedroom. Looks adorable sitting on a shelf! The description states this box is plastic, however, the one I received is wood excepting the decorations on the box. I was thrilled! I almost did not order this item because it was plastic. So glad I gambled!!! I bought this strictly for a shelf sitter, As a jewelry box, it would be ideal for rings - costume jewelry...it is not lined. I would not house other jewelry such as necklaces because they are sure to tangle. Regardless, I love this box and it adds charm to my nautical themed bedroom. Highly recommended as a decoration!
