This is a sweet thing to have, and holds the bags nicely. I like that I can choose how many compartments to have. My only couple of criticisms would be based on my choice of tea, perhaps, but the bags fit so perfectly into the slots that they can lie flat and are then almost impossible to get out, so they need to be stacked sideways and plentiful. If they're stacked upright the lid doesn't quite close shut. The little chain to hold the lid from falling back is also a nice idea but it sometimes twists which makes it too short, and takes up a chunk of that particular slot. It's a nice box, and I'll keep it, but I wouldn't give it as a present.
