Product Description:
Perfect for the aspiring prima ballerina, this charming pearl white jewelry chest, with its gently curving front and elegant moldings, is accented with a silky, pink and white tassle. A delicate ballerina, reflected in the pink framed round mirror, pirouettes to the magical music of "Nutcracker Suite" when the chest is opened. A lift-out tray is fitted to hold rings, earrings and bracelets and the spacious well accommodates a myriad of treasures, all elegantly lined in a plush, soft pink nylon velvet. Musical key is conveniently located at the back of the chest. Cushioned feet protect furniture.

Something to Grow With By Chris Devries
BACKGROUND:
I purchased this jewelry box as a Christmas gift for my 5 year old daughter. We shopped around online and ultimately decided on this jewelry box as it wasn't paper/tin based and looked like something that our daughter could grow up with and still have in her teen years.
MY EXPERIENCE:
The build quality of this jewelry box is immediately apparent. It is weighty and solid and feels like it should last for many years. Everything was not perfect, however. The pink tassel on the front of the box fell off within the first couple of minutes and was very difficult to re-attach (had to use a heat gun to fuse it back together). Also, the removable upper tray inside the jewelry box had a very tight fit. So tight, in fact, that it creates suction inside the box when trying to remove it and is more than my daughter can manage at the moment. I am hoping that it will get better with time, otherwise I will likely have to drill some small holes in the upper tray to eliminate the suction issue.
FINAL THOUGHTS:
Overall, I am satisfied with this purchase. I do think it will last for many years and my daughter certainly enjoys it. The only thing holding it back from a five star rating is the issues with the tassel and the fit of the upper tray inside the box.Lovely quality, disappointing details By Lexington
A lovely quality jewellery box with good craftsmanship and a heavy, sturdy feel to it.
Disappointing that the lid doesn't stay open unless its held and the ballerina was a bit cheap and nasty compared to the rest of the box.Beautiful By Lois Lane
Good quality jewelry boxes at honest prices are certainly hard to find these days. But this is definitely one of them. Surprisingly and happily the box was much larger than I expected, despite having known the dimensions. It is made of real wood, and not pressed wood, giving it a lovely weight which adds to the quality of the box. The inside is lined with a lovely pink fabric beatifully fitted, there are no edges where it may one day come away from the wood. Unlike other reviewers I have had no problems with removing the inside drawer due to a vacuum created by being too tightly fitted. Nor have I had an issue with the tassle falling off. I can see however how this could happen, it is a bit delicate, so if you are careful and open the box by the wee knob and not the tassle itself, I would think there shouldn't be a problem. Upon opening, the Nutcracker Suite plays, the music is smooth and not plinky, it is quite pleasant. I suppose the only slight let down is the ballerina, she isn't quite up to the quality of the rest of the box. All n all a good solid purchase and would make any girl, indifferent of her age, happy to receive it.
