I love the look of it, but the first time I opened the top lid, it fell off. The screws are loose, so I think I’ll have to replace them with slightly bigger screws for them to catch properly. I’m worried the jewelry box is rickety, but I bought it as a Christmas gift for my daughter so I’m going to try to work with it and hope it doesn’t break. Wasn’t aware it was veneer either—maybe I didn’t read the description thoroughly enough. But it’s exactly the right look, size, and functionality I was looking for, so I’m crossing my fingers it lasts.
