As my title states, I picked this up originally with the intent to give it as a gift. When it arrived I opened the box to check it out.The problem is that I fell in love with it immediately and ended up keeping it for myself!This arrived quickly, packaged well in a flat, cardboard box. You do have to assemble it, but it's so easy and took just one minute. (screw the bottom tray into the post, set the small tray on top of the post and screw on the wood bubble)This is well constructed and very studry. The trays are heavy stone and the post is a thick, hard wood. It doesnt wobble, tilt or sit off kilter at all. This is heavy and solid! Nothing about this is cheep, so I'm honestly suprised at how affordable the price is! I didn't expect this to be as nice as it is to be honest, but the quality really blew me away!It is really the cutest thing that actually makes me happy when I look at it. The color is neutral but bright, so it blends in with any decor well.Size wise, this has quite a but of room for trinkets, jewelry or odds and ends that need a home. I have at least a dozen pairs of earrings (studs, small hoops, larger hoops and some small dangles) on the top tray and several bracelets, necklaces, more earrings and rings on the bottom. It doesn't seem like it would hold so much, but it does. AND...there is still room left! Things aren't on top of eachother. The double tier makes it really easy to see and grab exactly what I want/need. The 3D effect of the clouds not only looks good, but it serves a good purpose too. That lip/ledge keeps things on the tray and prevents them from rolling off/escaping.I've never been one to have a trinket tray like this before (I don't like things laying around), but this is an exception. This is really a functional piece of art and well worth every dollar!If you plan on gifting this (the box is ready to be wrapped and gift ready), get yourself one too! Once you see how great this is, you won't want to part with it!
