Review on ๐ŸŒฟ MyGift Terrarium Keepsake Display: Elegant Black Stain for Stylish Showcasing by Robby Fingaw

Revainrating 4 out of 5

smaller than advertised, wood not waterproof

I measure only 5.5 inches wide by 5 inches high (smaller still when it sinks almost 1/4 inch into the base). The internal dimensions are even smaller, I had to cut almost an inch off a 5.5 inch item to fit. Otherwise it looks great, withstood being banged around in my car for a while, totally unprotected. I would also recommend sanding lightly on the outside edges of the wood with 200+ grade sandpaper as the wood has a very rough/unfinished texture right away. I would buy it again but now that I know how much smaller the actual measurements are than the advertised 6 inches I will definitely be buying a shorter gem to fit in. Update: I actually completed my snow globe project, and without any (easy and cheap) modifications, this is the wrong snow globe article. The base is not protected from water at all. and now, after about 28 hours has passed, the base turns into a "U" with a crack running through it. in the middle and I don't know why no water comes out. It's been a learning curve for me, I feel like it deserves 3 stars instead of 4 but I don't want to penalize the product too much for buying the wrong item and not realizing it until it's too late to get it to repair.
