I wanted something simple, and with a wood/organic feel. This box does that. It is able to hold all of my jewelry, and I appreciate how it slides out. The lining is protective for jewelry. It is quite large & heavy, and takes up a lot of counter space, so if you don’t need all of that room to store jewelry, I’d consider getting the smaller stowit. One design quality that I don’t like, is that the metal on the side does not lie flat when the box is closed. There’s a small gap at the top, and then the metal comes down and in at an angle. I thought it was a manufacturing flaw until I looked at the stowit pictured on the packaging, and saw the same gap. If Umbra wanted to figure out a solution & create a Stowit 2.0, I think that’d be great...but I’m happy enough with what I paid for. If you have quality watches, I’d suggest a separate storing solution (to display them properly on their cushions facing up).
