It is advertised as a "beautiful box", even in the instructions, what I received was a poorly
constructed box, the lid does not even sit in it correctly, and it is painted an uneven coat of
gloss black and covered in chips and dings. The "jewels" are plastic children's toy gems glued to
the top of 1 inch wood blocks, also painted black. It looks very little like the box in the ad.
The effect itself is T.A. Water's but he is not credited in the instructions.
