Cheap plastic
These pill boxes are beautiful, but I was disappointed to discover that they are not metal. The shiny metallic-looking parts are made out of plastic. I prefer metal over plastic, but if I have to choose between plastic-looking plastic and metallic-looking plastic, I will always choose the plastic-looking plastic. I really hate fake metal.<br /><br />The button to open them on the front is large. I could see that getting accidentally pushed in inside a purse. Maybe that wouldn't be too big a problem, though, because they don't spring open. Pushing the button barely releases the lid, so you have to push it all the way open.<br /><br />The inside is the best part. The white plastic compartments are deep and hold a lot more than I expected. The lid almost looks like a mirror, but when you try to look in it, it's difficult to see yourself. I guess fake metal doesn't make good mirrors.<br /><br />When I close the box, I have to push the button in to get the lid closed.<br /><br />I don't trust these to last long. I expect the hinge to break first, but the sides may crack before that happens.
