From The Kitchen Of... Personalized Recipe Box customer reviews

I thought this box would have a sheen to the finish, but it was very dull. Also the personalization could have been more pronounced. It is a bit top heavy also. I'm sure it will be just fine to hold recipes and will hold up for a long time. also the box it came in was so flimsy. You could never keep it in that box to give it as a gift.

I got this recipe box from my mother-in-law 4 years ago for a wedding show gift and it's my FAVORITE gift! My cousin is getting married this summer so I thought this would be a wonderful gift for her as well. I ordered it last week and it came quickly (paid for the standard shipping but it still got here in 4 days) and was packaged well. But when I opened it to take a sneak peek before I wrapped it for her, I realized that it only holds 3x5 cards. Mine is the EXACT same recipe box but it holds 4x6 cards. I was frustrated and immediately got on the website to see if I had accidentally ordered the wrong size or something, only to realize that this box ONLY comes in 3x5 now. Very disappointing since every recipe card that I own is 4x6... and we all wrote out recipes for my cousin at her shower but she couldn't even put them in her new recipe box since they were on 4x6 cards. The box itself is wonderful but beware that it's SMALL.

When this item first came, I was very disappointed because the lid had cracks and splits in the wood and it looked cheap. However, when I emailed customer service, they were very helpful and courteous and sent me a second one right away, for free. I did not have to return the first one or anything.

The second box was absolutely beautiful, exactly like the picture on the website. It is gorgeous and we love it. The only sad part was that it was supposed to be a Valentine's Day gift, and the good item didn't arrive until the day after the holiday. However, considering the excellent customer service and the good quality of the second box, I would order from this company again.

Very nice looking and sturdy wood - just alot smaller than I had anticipated

The box is attractive and well-made. However, the top does not close properly, leaving a space between the top and bottom when the lid is closed.

Although I like the box itself, the measurements should be more specific. The write-up states the box is 6" W x 4 1/2" H x 4 1/2" D. Therefore you would think if you order recipe cards in the 6" x 4" size they would fit in the box, but they don't. That's because the actual measurement of the OPENING of the box is only about 5 1/4" W (too small for these cards). When I called this to the attention of customer service, their response was not very customer friendly, in my opinion. You need to be careful in reading their description.

The laser engraving is fine. The box itself and the description could use more quality control. My lid is not centered. I know these are made a bazillion a day in some third world country, but it wouldn't take long to inspect them & throw out the bad ones. Also....if this will hold 1,000 cards, it will also hold all of your pots and pans. Using a hammer you might fit in half what they declare.

Like I said, I'm not completey happy. It looks beautiful, but the receipe box was a whole lot smaller than I thought. The claim that it can a 1,000 cards has be an exragation.
