Magnets Work Fine Once Appropriate Pressure Applied
Several readers have complained about having difficulty with the magnetic closure, but here is what I did and it worked like a champ. Assemble the box. Bend the crease between the top of the box and the magnetic flap sharply to form 90 degrees. With the box formed and the lid closed, place the side with the magnetic flap down on a solid surface. Press firmly (but not hard enough to break it, of course) for 10-15 seconds on the opposite side of the box, pushing it "toward" the side with the magnetic flap. After I did that with each box, they each closed easily and tightly with an audible click each time as the magnets connected. I opened and closed each one repeatedly, and not once did any of the flaps fail to perform properly. These little boxes are nice and sturdy, and are great for small gifts. The glossy white surface is easy to wipe clean, and also easy to decorate and personalize. At the current price of $12.99 for five boxes, I think this is a good value.
