This was the perfect piece to hold my jewelry - I tend to favor quality over quantity when it comes to the jewelry I wear, and I'm able to beautifully display about 35 necklaces, bracelets and watches (as well as a few rings in the tray). My friends have all complimented this piece profusely! The stems are not as yellow as depicted in the photo - a bit of a darker gold-tone that actually looks a bit classier, and the base is nice and heavy, so no fear of it tipping over.
