The extraordinary writings of Phillis Wheatley, a slave girl turned published poet In 1761, a young girl arrived in Boston on a slave ship, sold to the Wheatley family, and given the name Phillis Wheatley. Struck by Phillis' extraordinary precociousness, the Wheatleys provided her with an education that was unusual for a woman of the time and astonishing for a slave. After studying English and classical literature, geography, the Bible, and Latin, Phillis published her first poem in 1767 at the age of 14, winning much public attention and considerable fame. When Boston publishers who doubted its authenticity rejected an initial collection of her poetry, Wheatley sailed to London in 1773 and found a publisher there for Poems on Various Subjects, Religious and Moral. This volume collects both Wheatley's letters and her poetry: hymns, elegies, translations, philosophical poems, tales, and epyllions--including a poignant plea to the Earl of Dartmouth urging freedom for America and comparing the country's condition to her own. With her contemplative elegies and her use of the poetic imagination to escape an unsatisfactory world, Wheatley anticipated the Romantic Movement of the following century. The appendices to this edition include poems of Wheatley's contemporary African-American poets: Lucy Terry, Jupiter Harmon, and Francis Williams.

Lots of storage space, great mirrors, has paint scent
Color: White
You can store a lot in this! There are a lot of good things to say about this. It's cute, has tons of mirror space and room to store jewelry, seems pretty sturdy as far as the wood parts go, and could also be used as Barbie furniture for a girl with a little imagination--a perfect armoire! It's the perfect height for a Barbie doll.
So, there is space for non-dangly earrings to be placed in holes, a section under that for necklaces or bigger earrings, four small spots on top for necklaces or other chains, a larger section there, five drawers, four long necklace spots to hang them with catch sections underneath, and a space for a lot of rings. There are also eight hangers for short chains or earrings.
Quality wise, it is decent, but maybe not fantastic. Most of the wood aspects seem strong and built well, except the part that stores rings comes out completely and can be a tiny bit of a challenge to put back in a way that it fits right. The cardboard inserts are a little flimsy. I think if a child used this and pulled down on one of the necklace holders, it might not spring back into place, and then would be useless after that. The cardboard insert on the top for the stud earrings also seems like it will get misshapen pretty easily.
The biggest negative, and is one I am not sure I can get beyond, but time will tell, is the strong paint odor of it. It smells like a bedroom smells immediately after it gets painted--that kind of smell that tells you perhaps you should sleep somewhere else for a night. That smell fades, though. I hope this smell also fades because it seems too strong to give to a child, and this is advertised as for a woman or girl (which I assume is a child.)
So, size wise and usage is generally good for this. If the paint smell fades, I will be fully satisfied with it.

Holds a decent amount of jewelry!
Color: Carbonized Brown, Color: Carbonized Brown
I was quite impressed with this little jewelry box. Although it is on the smaller side, it utilizes every bit of the storage space available really well. I’d ultimately love to get a bigger armoire- as it is, this jewelry box contains what I wear most often, but I have a larger collection than this particular jewelry box can hold- my plan is to find a larger jewelry armoire that resembles what my mother had because I loved that one and then passed this one down to my daughter who loves it.
For its size, it does absolutely hold a lot. I definitely underestimated how much it would hold. I love that there are drawers and well. I would love to see the ring area hinged so that I don’t have to reposition it when I’m done grabbing my rings, I think it’s a really cool, unique way to approach that particular area. I love that every little bit at this jewelry box is designed to have utility. I hate wasting space and time and I love good organization so it’s been really nice being able to pack as much as I can in there. The top opens up to space for earrings and other miscellaneous items. There are both open and more structured components. And the space for bracelets rotates, which is really nice- I didn’t realize that it rotated and I was a little bit worried that I was gonna constantly knock things down while I was reaching through or something. There is lots of room inside both doors for necklaces, and it fits a lot more than I thought it would.
The wood stain is a really pretty kind of ashy natural stain- the sort of grey tint is really nice and it’s gorgeous. I’m not a huge fan of mirrors as far as the front goes, but I do have an artist in house who is really good at coming up with stuff for this, just a little ways to put art in your every day, so I’ll probably have her paint over. The jewelry box also doesn’t take much space up at all. While I am looking for something with a little bit larger footprint, I don’t necessarily want to waste a bunch of real estate in the meantime so I’m really pleased with how compact it is.
This is a great little jewelry box - as I mentioned it doesn’t house all of my jewelry, but that’s because my collection is mostly heirloom and I don’t want to take it out from where it is right now. If it were larger, I would probably do so but for now it just houses my everyday items and a little bit extra. I think it’s great and I’m super happy with it!
