A beautiful touch of luxury at an affordable price
My wife has a TON of jewelry. Everywhere I turn there are earrings, rings, necklaces, etc. scattered throughout every room of the house. To make matters worse, she has about 5 jewelry boxes of various sizes, shapes, and portability. Despite all this, I still find random jewelry on the nightstand, on the bathroom counter, coffee tables, dressers, etc. This leads to questions of, Have you seen this pair of earrings? And annoyance on both our parts, when I reply with, No did you check any of the 10 places you randomly could have left it? Hence, my purchase of this jewelry standing cabinet.
In addition for me looking for a be/all and end/all jewelry storage solution for my wife, my wife has been on the look/out for a to add to the bedroom/closet area. When I was presented with the idea of this product, it seemed like a no/brainer! Allow me to tell you what I like and dislike about this product.
For starters, the presentation out of the box was top notch. In addition to coming in a box from , this cabinet also came in a teal/blue box with a handle on it. This made moving it to the desired position before assembly, essentially effortless. Open the box and you two thick pieces of custom cut Styrofoam keeping all the pieces and in place. The is also carey wrapped up in shrink/wrap to prevent shifting and breaking. Opening the cabinet part up is where you find the assembly instructions. These are placed in a wax/sealed envelope to convey the message of luxury and quality.
Assembly of this product is pretty straight forward. You have two legs, two support beams, the cabinet, and then a handful of dowels, and some bolts. You need no additional tools, glue, or materials, and it can be assembled with just the provided hex key. It can be assembled relatively easy with one person but having an extra set of hands to hold the legs steady while tightening or mounting the cabinet definitely speeds up the process. The finished product when complete is a practical, elegant, and beautiful solution. It also has a set of keys, with locking function, but not sure I have a need for that, except maybe to keep kids out?
I had a few minor quibbles with this purchase. For starters, there was some white powder on the felt when I opened the cabinet. I assume it was a busted silica pack, and it wiped up fairly easily. Secondly, there is a mesh storage bag that attaches with Velcro to the inside of the cabinet. The bag was very rolled up, so Im not sure how long it will take to unfold, nor am I sure my wife would even use it for on/the/go travel needs. My wife is crafty, so I told her she could re/purpose the area and make a place for stud earrings (or something else) if she wanted to. Lastly, the LED lighting is battery powered (6 AA batteries). Im not sure if I would have preferred no lighting, cord (not a great option), or what. However, I use rechargeable batteries, so I will see how long it takes before I have to change the batteries in it.
The small complaints aside, I was very pleased with the purchase of this cabinet. I went with Espresso colored one, opposed to the white one and it really looks premium once its all assembled. My wife has started loading it up, consolidating her jewelry collection, and using this as opposed to the random tables scattered throughout the house. Hopey, this trend continues. If you are looking for a gift for that special woman in your life, I highly recommend this piece of furniture. I dont know how we survived without it.
NOTE: Please pardon my pictures, if they are not the best quality.
