Hives and Honey Annette Standing Jewelry Armoire, Locking Jewelry Cabinet, 7 Drawers, Necklace Hooks, Mirror, Secure Storage, Dual-Sided Doors, Handcrafted Antique Finish, Elegant Organizer, Walnut

When I started shopping for a jewelry armoire, I wanted a more contemporary design. But what I found was either out of my budget, had horrible/no pictures of the inside, was too small or had less than stellar reviews (far less!). So while the look of this particular armoire was not really what I was going for, it ticked all of the other boxes for me. #1: It is a pretty good size. I was able to consolidate several jewelry boxes into this and clean up my dresser considerably. I have quite a lot of jewelry so I wasn't able to fit all of it but it does hold a lot. #2: It is reasonably priced for the size and quality. It is a sturdy piece of furniture even though it is comprised of mostly MDF--it has a solid feel and looks beautiful. #3: I love the key. It is stupid I know. It only locks the top part but it's cute--to me it is more of a decorative detail than a true anti-theft device. (It does not like to stay in the keyhole though.). #4: It arrived well packaged and (mostly?) damage free. It had a scratch/scrape on the back side but it was VERY minor and I can't be sure that I didn't do it myself when I was trying to get it out of the box and upstairs to my bedroom. But whether I caused it or it arrived that way makes no difference to me. It is not noticeable as it is on the back in the particle board and doesn't interfere with it's function or appearance. My one gripe is that the listing photos show a pocket at the bottom of each of the doors to catch long necklaces and keep them from getting shut in the door or tangled. That was actually one of the features I wanted in an armoire since I have a lot of long necklaces but sadly it was absent on mine. Overall this armoire was one of several I was considering and this one was the least like my design preferences but I chose it because I felt it would be the most functional within my budget and not be total junk. I feel like I made a good decision. It looks more expensive than it was. Plus it is really pretty. I actually think it looks great in my bedroom and is close in color to my dresser.

Beautiful. Wood color is rich and correct. Arrived packaged well, no damage. Inside is large, nice lining too. Highly recomend.

I purchased this item in walnut. It's very pretty, and sturdier than the cheaper one I had bought years earlier from a department store (with particle board drawer slides which have broken off). Just a note that the key and lock are difficult to use; key has to be inserted the exact right way. I don't plan on using that feature, so I consider the key more decorative. Also, the draws have a slight forward curve to them. This adds to the style but if you plan to mostly store your jewelry in boxes, you might want to shop for a Hives and Honey armoire that is just straight across the front.

So far, so good; it's a Christmas present so I haven't seen it, but my husband has inspected some of it and found it w/o a ding, scratch or any imperfection - he thought it was really nice looking and a great deal. The main parts of the armoire that you see are wood with a wood veneer and the sides and backs of drawers are fiberboard, all lined with a creamy beige velour, so he said he was very satisfied. It's large and will hold a lot of jewelry! Oh, and the packing was excellent, padded on top, wrapped, and large pieces of styrofoam protecting the sides and the bottom was also sitting on styrofoam and then in a large box which was left by our front door/porch which was fine, because with tracking, I was looking for it. It is heavy, 50 lbs., so it would be good to have two to carry; esp. if going upstairs. Hurry up Christmas! 8 ) Said he didn't see a tasseled key for locking the upper area, so I guess I'll look for that on Christmas.

This armoire came in good shape and in a very short time....but....the style was not what I expected from the photos...the center section top drawer is raised higher than the sides and creates a noticeable gap on the sides...especially as viewed from the side ( enlarge the photos on the web site to see this) which in the location I placed the armoire makes it very obvious since I can see the side of the furniture piece at all times. In addition...with the way the top is attached with the hinge...there is also a noticeable gap as it lays across the top jewelry section. If you were to place this item where you mostly saw it from the front it might not be as noticeable. As it is....I am not happy with it at all but don't want the hassle of shipping it back. If I had known, I would have bought something like the "Landry" model armoire instead. The finish was nice as was the hardware and it was well packed. The top with the inset mirror came unattached and although there were guide holes for the five screws it did take a bit of juggling to attach it. Good quality item...just wish I had been aware how wide the gap on the side would be.

Why did you pick this product vs others?: Quality, well made
