Highly Recommend
Color: Pure White, Size: 4 layer
This jewelry box hold so much and looks so nice sitting out. My jewelry was exposed on hangers and trays before, so I am very happy to have it hidden and organized. I was hesitant to buy a jewelry box online but this one made me so glad that I did. I have not had any issues with it.

Sturdy and Functional
Color: White, Size: 3 layer
Sturdy and well-made. The drawers glide easily. Some other reviewers complained that the handles are hard to pull open, but I did not have that problem at all. I actually bought it to store my hair barrettes so that they stay nice. With the different compartments shapes, I was able to find places for thin, long barrettes, large bow barrettes, and long headbands. It is just perfect.
