This item absolutely is just as I expected. Quality crafted item that looks lovely in our classroom. I love easy it is for my son to handle and it keeps all the crayons snugly in place. The best part is the way it was packaged. It was wrapped so nicely and even included a *hand written* note thanking me for my order and wishing our family well. I was sure to take a photo and share on social media, tagging the company and they reshared as well as responded with a lovely thank you message. This type of customer service and customer care goes a long way!
