The lid to this tea box detached after about 2 weeks of use. The screws to keep the lid on are too short and stripped the pressed board the product is made out of. So basically after opening and closing the box 1-2x per day it is ruined and there is no way to fix it. I do NOT recommend this product. Very disappointed. Don't waste your money.

If you are buying this for the box, Don't! It is plastic feeling and poor quality. Ours had paint drips. Also, it is NOT returnable if you are not satisfied. I didn't see that printed anywhere until we checked on returning the item. I wouldn't recommend it even if it is on sale.

Received this as a gift and I was thrilled because I've been eyeing the Bentely's Finest Elegant Wooden Tea Chest for a couple years. The box is smaller than I'd expected, especially since it houses 120 tea bags, but the footprint is smaller, and that's a good thing for a small home. Each stack is 10 teabags. The tea chest is a very dark, non-wood appearing not too heavy box with solid feet and cheap looking shiny brass colored metal hardware. The interior contains red felt separators which can be removed if you want to use this for larger tea bags or something else after the tea is consumed. Since it appears that this was marketed as a presentation box for Bentley teas, I'd give it a solid 3 star at the half price cost, would have given it a 4 if it did not have the bright gold Bentley ad on the inside of the lid. If you actually use the chest to present the teas to guests, it's rather tacky in appearance. The teas are far from the best I've drunk, but I have found that they are very nice for brewing iced tea. The bags are made of bleached white paper, sealed at the edges, have a white string and small paper hang tag attached at one pressed seam. Each bag is enveloped by a brightly colored lightweight paper. There is not much tea powder residual found inside the paper, so the tea is contained well. The teas are all black with assorted flavorings or the single green tea option without additional flavoring. It's absolutely an average product.

I got one of these 5-6 years ago as a gift and have wanted to give this same thing to my sister. She has admired mine many times. I finally did, and she loves it just as much as I do.

These tea chests were half off when I ordered them. We drink a lot of tea and the chest seemed like it could be useful for storing things, so...I ordered. The chest has a big ding on one corner which mars the look of it. Otherwise it's fine and the tea is quite good. There is a good variety of flavors in the box.
