The luxurious lacquer, seemingly double-coated, is full of character, and the hardware decoration is beautiful!! Inside, the joinery is very well done. The bottom is also coated with a rich black lacquer. And behind that, *Cha-ching*. It accumulates. It accumulates. Smartly, *Cha-ching*.') For when you need it. For when you want to buy something.
