I have owned the same armoire for the last 15 years, and it was getting rather cluttered as of late. However, with purchase of my first new bedroom set, I wanted to get something that "matched", and was hoping to upsize to something that would keep things neater and more visible. Also, my middle child is facinated with my jewelry collection, and was constantly pulling things out. This is definitely a larger armoire, and I LOVE the fact that it locks. I had a few concerns when looking over my storage options when it arrived, but think that, for the most part, it will work.MIRROR/REMOVEABLE TRAY: What they don't mention - there is about a 1/2" or so of storage space UNDER the removeable tray. This works well for my neckvines and many of my pendants. The space inside the tray is nice, and it is rather deep. Deeper than all but one of the divided jewelry drawers.EARRING SCREENS: I LOVE these!! They display my earrings MUCH better. Here they can hang freely, be easily kept in pairs, and not become tangled together. The screens do accept all of my hook earrings, but not lever backs or similar types. I still must work out where I will keep these :)5 JEWELRY DRAWERS: These drawers are MUCH shallower than my old armoire, and the dividers go to the top of the drawer. Even on the deepest of the 5. With only one open, shallow drawer, I thought I would run into MAJOR problems fitting all my pendants and odd shaped items. Finding the storage space on top really helped, as did figuring out many of my pendants could fit in the ring drawer (all of my rings fit in the removeable tray) . I still wish there was another drawer, either divided into squares or long strips. I also wish the drawers had stoppers. Since they are so short, I am constantly pulling them out too far.OPEN SHELF/LARGE DRAWER: I do like the open area as I have a charm bracelet in it's own case, and a couple other boxes that can sit there. It comes in handy. I miss having three large drawers for lingerie, but I'm adjusting. SIDE DOORS: I REALLY wished these locked too!! It would help with little fingers. Or, if the magnets were stronger. They open a bit too easy for my taste. I also wish that the hooks were double instead of single. They do seem sturdy and hold my necklaces quite nicely.I am still organizing it, but plan to upload pictures.Overall, I am pleased with my purchase. [...] It was [...] easy to assemble (merely attach the legs), and was very sturdy. The finish was thorough and evenly applied. Very lovely addition to my room.
