Hi there, Sandy here.
today I have for you a slightly different Friday Findings.
I was contacted by SongMics, a company that makes some really nice jewelry boxes and furniture
and they asked me to review some of their products.
So over the coming weeks I will be talking to you about some of the things that they've
sent me.
If you make even a fraction of the jewelry that I make, you're going to need a place
to store it.
And so these products are really nice and kind of useful and they come in a lot of different
configurations.
And today I'm going to talk about what I call their stacked trays.
So when SongMics asked me if I wanted to choose some of their products to take a look at,
I was sort of intrigued by this one because it's not your typical jewelry box.
It kind of looks like it from here, but then after that, oh look.
It's a big box of stacked trays.
In fact, that's what they call it.
They call it their Stackable Jewelry Box and I thought it was an interesting concept because
how many times do you actually pull the whole drawer right out of a jewelry box, put it
on your lap and then dig through it?
So here's the top down view and the way this works is you have a set of four trays that
all stack together and you can stack them in any configuration of course, but this one
with the lid wants to go on the top.
And I like that they snap together nicely.
I'll flip this over and you can see there's a bit of a groove here that fits into the
next one.
So I'm always fiddling with things that are stacked and making them neat.
So I like that these snap right together nicely.
You have drawers, trays that are different thicknesses.
So this one on the bottom here is the thickest and then it looks like this is the narrowest.
This ones a little deeper and this one is just a little bit deeper than that.
So let's look at them all.
This is the deepest one and here's a tip for you.
These little things that says, "do not eat, throw away" I put them up in my attic where
I have boxes of off season clothing and such just to keep them from getting mildew-y.
It keeps them dry.
But this is a nice deep tray with about a little over 2" to where the bottom of the
next box is going to fit in and three divisions.
I'm always kind of a fan of less built in divisions.
It gives you more flexibility and I don't know if that was supposed to come out.
I don't think it was.
Maybe it was.
That's kind of nice although it leaves the cardboard on the inside and I'm pretty sure
these are just cardboard, but it leaves it exposed.
But you can pop these out if you have bigger things.
Like I have a bunch of bangle bracelets that are thicker that might go in here.
And this one is nice for small things, although I have to say these trays are almost too small.
Oh, here's something.
Oh, that's big enough, but even that.
It's a little small to put things in.
So if you have big fingers you may find it difficult to get things out, especially if
they go rolling in the corners.
But it certainly does provide 25 trays for sorting little things.
And just to tell you, let's see, these are about 1 3/4 x 1 1/4.
So they're pretty small, but nice for small earrings or rings.
Speaking of rings, I played with this one a little bit and you can see your conventional
rings are fine.
They fit in here great and even some of your bigger bulky rings will fit in here, but some,
like this one, my fairy garden ring is definitely not.
So if you're into the really crazy huge rings, even this one is too deep, as is my spinner
ring.
Just a little too thick for the next tray to sit on top and definitely this one.
But my fairy garden ring can go here in the long slit and if you have a bunch of conventional
rings this is a very nice place to put them.
I don't have a lot of rings, but the ones I have are out of control because of all the
crazy shapes and sizes.
So these will have to go somewhere else, which is a shame.
Now I wonder, oh see now maybe I can put my rings here, my big chunky ones.
I do kind of like that these do come out although they leave a rather unattractive view of the
cardboard like I said on the side.
I do like that they will come out.
That's kind of nice.
Then these narrow ones, again a little narrow if you have big fingers.
My fingers are I think average size and it takes a little bit of fumbling and pulling
to get things out, but a nice tray for storing a variety of things.
Nice to have all my rings in one spot.
Finally the one with the lid.
It has a magnetic catch, a pretty strong magnetic catch.
So I would travel with this actually.
This would be nice to put in a suitcase and bring some of your favorite jewelry with you.
Yep, these all pop out too the same way and it doesn't appear that it was supposed to
be glued.
They're actually meant to come out and this is a nice kind of versatile tray that you
can throw like I said a few things.
Maybe the jewelry you wear most often.
And what I like about it, it's just a nice sleek neat profile.
It looks tidy all closed up.
So I think I'm going to get a lot of use out of this product, the stackable jewelry tray.
I think it would make a really nice gift for somebody.
It's faux leather, but the finish, aside from the edges where you see cardboard if you remove
the dividers looks nice.
I like the bright colors and I like that all the trays are actually a different color.
That kind of helps me when I'm looking for things to know the rings are in the blue drawer.
So I hope you enjoyed this video and that it's maybe given you some ideas for how you
can better store your jewelry or as a gift for somebody.
