I bought this as a Christmas gift and there were several problems. The wood had flaws, the divider wood was rough, the feet were corroded, the hinge wasn't on properly so the lid did not function correctly.
I contacted Amazon Customer service via instant messaging, and told them to look over the replacement shipment and make sure it was in good condition before they sent it. They can do this, even if they say they can't.
Insist.
The replacement box was very good. My friend likes it. It is a roomy box with interior dividers that can slide out but are better in, I think, because the box is large and the cards will slide around unless it is stuffed full.
This box is not made in the USA. I don't believe the description says it is, but the name of the company ... I had the impression it was a small business on the east coast. It may, of course, be a small business but the boxes are mass market made in some third world country. It really is not worth the price asked. If it were sold locally it would be at an outlet store or a cheapo knock-off store and would cost much less. No-one should have to send back defective items but, by the looks of some of the other reviews, my experience was not unique.
I was contacted by Mountain Woods because I left a mixed rating and they were very anxious to please.
Three stars only because the final box was in good shape and the company contacted me.

Poor quality. One divider inside is warped. When you lift the lid, it won't stay open because of the hinges. The metal latch in the front doesn't close because it's not in line with the bottom piece. Very light weight cheap wood. Not worthy of a Christmas gift. I'm sending it back unfortunately.
