I just received the keepsake box. It's not as nice as it looks online and very roughly made.

Thank you for your honest feedback, Gloria. I’m truly sorry the keepsake box didn’t meet your expectations. I want every piece to feel special—if you’d like to share more details or discuss a replacement, please reach out. Your experience matters to us!
