Review (3/5): Not bad, but not great either
I bought this because I needed something to store my lipsticks in. I do like that each row has its own level, making it easier for me to see where each lipstick is, at a glance. Because it has a square (rather than rounded) base, this box sits on my desk and is flush against the wall, making organization easier (personal preference).
I'm just a little disappointed that the plastic seems to be quite thin and brittle, because the reviews I read indicated that the plastic is sturdy. I think for the price I could have easily went elsewhere to get a makeup organizer that is made up of a more substantial plastic. I'm reminded of the material that is used for CD and cassette cases when I hold this item in my hand. My case had a few hairline cracks near the bottom edge corners; maybe this is due to shipping? (It came packaged with a thin layer of cardstock wrapped around it)
This is also due to preference, but looking at how angular this box is (compared to other cosmetic organizers that have rounded edges) I thought I would like it, but when I look closely I see that the edges look to be unfinished, and they scrape the lipstick cases if they happen to touch the edge as I remove/replace them into the little slots. I fixed this by putting tiny amounts of liquid cement (for acrylic) on the edges so that they smoothed over, but I wish I didn't have to do this extra step.
Overall I will still use this product because it suits its purpose, but in the future I will be more wary of product details.
