Review of Belleek Shamrock Puppy Trinket Box

Love Belleek trinket boxes and this is the first one I've seen with a puppy theme. Sleeping puppy is adorable and well depicted. Piece is finished on the both sides; each side has three shamrocks and smooth finish. Facial details are done in subtle brown tones. Well-rendered piece. Love the variety of Belleek Amazon carries.

Review of Japanese Yosegi Puzzle Box

This box is really amazing! It looks just like a piece of wood and there is not way to open it (there is no key hole or any obvious locks). But as you examin it you see that some of the parts of the box can be moved and that is the secret of the box. Moving one part at a time you can open it. Very clever mechanism!
I got my first box long time ago and am a big fan of them (I have the whole collection at home). These boxes are truely unique and even nowadays they are handmade in Japan's Hakone region (this seller, BeneGifts, has a great article about Yosegi making and history of puzzle boxes on their web-site).
It is a great gift also (I gave these boxes to some of my friends - they loved it).

Yosegi, or yosegi-zaiku, is a type of traditional Japanese mosaic woodwork which originated in Japans culturally rich Edo Period. Yosegi veneers are commonly found on the outside of Japanese secret boxes (Himitsu-Bako) or puzzle boxes, but may also be used to decorate many other items such as trays, chests, kendama, coasters, photo frames and jewelry boxes. Zougan-Zaiku Marquetry Wooden Mosaic is made by setting patterns of landscapes and characters created by natural wood colors, which are cut out from wood materials, in a main board.This process is very intricate and timely. Yosegi and Zougan Japanese puzzle box is high class puzzle box and limited.

Review of small burlwood finish wooden box

This is a very simple jewelery box, with a hinged lid. It measures approximately 4" by 6". The interior is a cream-colored felt. It's important to note that the box has a burlwood finish (actually a print of burlwood grain) not actual burlwood. Additionally, it seems to be made of a composite material, not real wood. Otherwise, it serves its purpose just fine.

Review of Honeywell 2084D 1 Hour Steel Fire Safe with Digital Lock, 1.22 Cubic Foot

What impressed me the most about my purchase was the packaging. In so many past experiences with amazon I have had outer boxes literally destroyed by the UPS delivery people. This time a pleasant suprise -the shipment came through by FedEx and was drop-shipped as opposed to having amazon simply put the manufacturer's box into their own. Whoever prepared the safe for shipment should be given an extended coffee break, for the safe came through without harm or injury. The care and attention given to the packing and material used was most evident. Well done!

Now to the item itself: I found the interior shelf to be a rather skimpy and cheap accessory. It could have and should have been made sturdier. The four clips used for it to rest upon fall out easily whenever the shelf is pulled forward - a "natural" procedure when trying to get to the item(s) placed upon it. Not a very well thought out design.

The instructions for setting up the key code are lacking in specificity. I could not locate the hole behind the door to proceed with the set up. At first I thought perhaps the wrong safe had been sent. Then it "dawned on me" to remove a plate that was screwed to the back of the door. There it was! The plate apparently was provided for heat protection for the inner workings of the comination. None of this was mentioned in the instructions. At any rate, mission accomplished!

I think this safe should have been provided with the fixture(s)necessary for bolting to the floor. The weight isn't sufficient to prevent someone from carrying it off - with difficulty, but still it could be done.


I'm not convinced that an override key isn't also a key to burglar access. Meaning if one key can do it all, why couldn't a burglar?

While I'm hardly an expert on assessing whether this safe or any other one will meet the tests, I hope that day never comes. It appears to have been manufactured well and does provide for the security we have sought.

This item meets our needs and I am pleased with the purchase.

Review of PreZerve Cambridge Jewelry Box Cherry

Please take the time to read this, so you can save yourself time and money.

I have to admit.When I found this box here on amazon, I was downright excited.I already own one of these boxes, and it's well made, effective in its anti-tarnish qualities, etc.Even though this seller was new with no ratings at the time, I didn't hesitate to order.The box arrived quickly and was well-protected against damage during transit.

However, the moment I took off the plastic wrap I knew something was wrong.The wood of the lid felt like plastic.The corners of the compartments were sharp, and the felt lining was so thin you could see the wood beneath.The wood for one of the compartments wasn't even secured in the box- it felt like cheap plywood- it wiggled and all it took was a small pull to remove it from the drawer. Furthermore, there was mold in the box, and damage to the wood of one of the drawers. When I opened the lid, I did find the PreZerve card, as well as the Flexzorb sticker on the bottom of the box that are supposed to proclaim this an "authentic" PreZerve box; I don't know where they got the cards or the stickers from, but they sold me a piece of garbage with the PreZerve label.

When I contacted them about the quality, authenticity and problems with the box, this is what cinched the deal: The woman answered by saying that my money had already been refunded, and for me to DISCARD THE BOX.As in, discard the evidence of what we did.

I did not take the refund as "hush money" or as a request to keep quiet about what had happened.I can not speak as to the authenticity or quality of any of the other eight products this seller currently sells, but STAY AWAY from this box.I wouldn't want this to happen to anyone else.

Review of Honeywell 2040 0.14-Cubic-Foot Fire and Water Media Chest, Light Gray

I've got a good sized RAID at home and I'm rotating two 1TB drives for backups, but I needed someplace safe to store the unused drive. I could have brought it to work and stored it in the datacenter, but that presents a few problems - 1) it's not on hand when needed 2) other people have access to it 3) hauling it around allows for more opportunities to drop or otherwise mishandle the drive. A cheap lock box would have solved #2, but I didn't want to deal with #1 and #3.

I selected the Honeywell 2040 safe because it's rated UL-125, which means it will maintain an internal temperature of 52C for at least one hour. Anything higher and the drive platters will likely crystalize, destroying the drive and rendering the data inaccessible. Most hard drives have allowable storage temperatures from -40C to 70C, flash is often -20C to 70/80C, and CDs and DVDs are -40 to 70C. A UL-150 should maintain an internal temperature of 66C, but it's not recommended for magnetic media, only microfilm/fiche or other photographic film.

Sentry Safe has a large selection and most of what I looked at were noted as being suitable for various computer storage media like CDs and DVDs, even some that have a USB port so you could use the device while it was IN the safe, but only two models (1710, 6720) were actually appropriate for computer media. I liked their prices and selection, but was annoyed with the somewhat deceptive and vague information on their website. Don't believe me? Download the 1710 manual and look for the UL ratings and their notation on suitable safes for storing "computer and audio/visual media". Most of their safes are UL-350, which is 177C and primarily for paper documents, certainly well beyond the maximum storage temperature of hard drives, flash, and CD/DVD media.

The Honeywell safe is big and heavy (awkward to carry), and the price is definitely up there. I'd rather not have spent $170 on a safe, but it'll be well worth it if the safe is ever tested (hope not) and my data survives.

These wooden jewelry boxes are made by the very same craftsmen who are acclaimed for making intricate design wooden blocks for printing Indian sarees. Carving wooden blocks for the handblock printers art is a special skill. Many artisans who provide these blocks to printers have become highly skilled in the art of carving and also using brass with wood to fashion blocks to print finer lines and motifs. A small town not far from Delhi, called Pilkhua, follows a proud and dynamic tradition of using local wood to carve anything from small blocks and door knobs, lampshades and tabletop accessories to huge murals and doorways, if commissioned to do so. Not only do they carve the wood into intricate floral and geometric patterns but also chisel the fine patterns which are then inlaid with brass wire. As a variation they also inlay the wood with white metal and bone chips.

These wooden jewelry boxes are made by the very same craftsmen who are acclaimed for making intricate design wooden blocks for printing Indian sarees. Carving wooden blocks for the handblock printers art is a special skill. Many artisans who provide these blocks to printers have become highly skilled in the art of carving and also using brass with wood to fashion blocks to print finer lines and motifs. A small town not far from Delhi, called Pilkhua, follows a proud and dynamic tradition of using local wood to carve anything from small blocks and door knobs, lampshades and tabletop accessories to huge murals and doorways, if commissioned to do so. Not only do they carve the wood into intricate floral and geometric patterns but also chisel the fine patterns which are then inlaid with brass wire. As a variation they also inlay the wood with white metal and bone chips.

Review of Cloisonne Pill Boxes - Medium, Set of 4

Wow - and I thought only e-bay had the reputation of some sellers raping their customers blind !I own the two pill boxes pictured on the left ... and they ONLY cost me approximately 4.99 (at Wal Mart or Walgreens - forget which).
And to buy these 4, they want FORTY dollars PLUS 7.50 for shipping ?!?!?!?!
Check out your local Wal Mart, Walgreens, Drug Mart, etc.etc. FIRST !!Especially around Christmas time - they stock a lot more for the holiday season.
ps: This is my first negative review (I feel that strongly about it).Plus, with over 400 items bought on e-bay - I have ONLY left 2 negatives & one neutral .... so, as you can see, it takes a lot to provoke me into a "negative comment".
