Perfect for my antique recipes
I have a really gorgeous antique Globe Wernicke file box that works for my 4 x 6 recipe cards. I have been looking for something similar for my 3 x 4 recipe cards. I don't use them often because they are from my grandmas and great-grandmas (I've rewritten the ones I use all the time). However, I wanted to keep them in something other than a plastic shoe box in the closet. I've had this in my cart for a while and decided to go ahead and order it because I started cleaning out closets and trying to get the house organized. This arrived in perfect condition. The magnets work well and I can easily open/close the box. I am happy with the construction and feel of this box. The divided sections means that I can sort recipes easily. The plastic dividers are sturdy and a bonus. There are a LOT of them!!! Is it the same quality as my antique box? Of course not--but it doesn't feel flimsy at all. It didn't permeate the house with any funky toxic smells. The hinges seem sturdy but I wouldn't open it with out supporting the lid against something else. The best part is how lovely it looks next to my cookbooks. It seems like a lot of money to spend on a recipe box and I helped justify spending that much because I was helping preserve some family history. I was worried about ordering this but I am glad I didn't talk myself out of it. Very happy with this purchase! ********************************** If anything happens to change my mind, I will come back and edit my review. Read more
