Review on Mabef Pochade Box 12 5 MBM 105 by Kim Sanchez

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Poor hardware and workmanship, but well thought out box.

The box design is great but the quality of the material leaves something to be desired. The wood fits pretty well and isn't bad quality, but the hardware sucks. Arrived with a broken latch. Most of the screws holding the device were not fully tightened. I've been looking for a quality candy box for a while and finally settled on Mabef because they seem to get enough praise; not the best choice. I should update this, we've been lugging it around the country for a while now and it's holding up pretty well. I had to replace the screws for all the hardware and fix one of the hinges, but everything else is holding up great. I also really like the design; when it first appeared my first thoughts weren't very good but since using it I'm very happy. I wouldn't normally fix anything new but I couldn't find another similar design so I figured it would be better to spend a few bucks and get it right and it was worth it.

Pros
  • Oiled, sanded beech construction
Cons
  • not durable
