Related to my search for wife's jewelry box, I found this:
http://www.jewelbasket.com/jbjjjbc167.html
It looks good and is the perfect size - large enough for all of wife's crap, and fits into the lowered section of her antique dressing table.

I e-mailed the store with a couple of questions and they promptly replied. Yes, it's made from solid wood. It's made by a company called Jere Wright Global. And it's imported from Thailand.

So anyone heard of this company, or is anyone familiar with their quality? Would I be better off to buy an American Reed and Barton product? The imported box is really made from mahogany; most of the Reed and Barton boxes are made from poplar and stained to appear like more expensive woods. But I don't have any grudges against poplar and it is real wood after all.

This sure would be easier if physical stores I could visit actually sold wood products instead of cardboard. :mad:

Oh well. Guess if I don't like the thing I can return it.

Bob if i may, see if you can find one that's a music box I think it would go over really well:) it doe's not have to be the main box but a smaller one for the nightstand.
 
I considered a music box, but we share a bedroom and she's usually is first to rise. The last thing I want to hear every morning...

:D

Russell Pool Woodworking makes some of the finest solid wood jewelry boxes on the planet. Be prepared, they are not cheap. They do have a lifetime warranty and have the most precise joinery I've seen.

I want no such thing until after sunrise and breakfast. :D

JB, Thanks for the comment. That's exactly the type of info I was looking for. I did see those Russell Poole boxes while internet searching and they are beautiful. Seemed like I was out of time for a custom-made box though.

I ordered the imported solid mahogany box, and if it's not up to par I'll return it and order something else.

Thanks,
Bob
 
Bob,

I always enjoy helping other folks spend their money :)

Wives tend to love jewelry boxes, as it encourages them to buy more jewelry. A vicious cycle.

Best,
JB
