I just need it to store jewelry I auction on Listia & sell on other sites. So its okay that it opens on both sides. There won't be any tiny beads to spill over mixing them w other beads. I just want to store necklaces, pendants, earrings & bracelets. I think it will be perfect bc I can see thru it somewhat. I have 2 smaller plastic storage boxes - one I keep nose studs & body jewelry in and the other I keep toe rings in. This box looks perfect for pendants & bracelets. I have one for earrings that is starting to overflow and become too small for but I don't think this box would be right for earrings as sometimes I make them as people win them so charms, like beads, could mix into next section past partition. It really is a cool storage box & I really want it!!
