Really unique and well designed candy box!

Love the thoughtful design! However, my box came with 1 bad bar. The clasps are flimsy and cheap, everything else is solid. I would give 5 stars if the locks were of better quality. If anyone from Mabef reads this please send me a new bar and try to use better bars in the future. I drilled 3 more holes in the palette to fit a total of 8 brushes. I also painted the palette gray and put a thin 1/16" thick sheet of acrylic on top. Mine weighs 11 pounds loaded so I bought a heavy duty tripod for…

Pros
  • Fits 9" x 12" canvas or panel
Cons
  • Cord is shorter than other models

Not sure why five stars. I'll admit the wood is nice. The box is sturdy with good brass fittings Enough for many years But it weighs 7 lbs empty It fits 2 wet 8 x 10 panels in the lid as well as a 9.5" x 11.75" panel That's a bad thing It fits not on a standard 9x12 panel. I don't want to make custom sized panels. Sorry. Generally for a couple of 8x10 panels I have to lug around a relatively heavy box. Maybe a different one if I have them in the brackets can hold without touching the pallet…

Pros
  • 16"W x 5"H x 12.5"D
Cons
  • Fragile

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…

Pros
  • Oiled, sanded beech construction
Cons
  • not durable
