Beautiful box

It is impossible for me to find any imperfections that would justify the classification as a "second". Beautiful grain, color, finish.
Personally I don't find the box very practical for writing on it (too high from the surface, also a bit too small). I'm certain, though, that one will find a good use for this box - even if only as a display piece...

Beautiful and functional with issues

I ordered a Thuja seconds box that arrived safe and securely packaged.
Sadly the box that arrived was not a light coloured Thuya wood that I had hoped for as per pictures. I have a walnut box too and purchased the thuya as a contrast to the walnut.
The box that arrived did not look anything like the light coloured wood. So much so Galen had to check it was Thuya. They indicated it was. To me it looked like a dark walnut. After owning the box for a few months I am still not convinced it is Thuya and I am still somewhat irked about that. While I understand boxes will vary this was just too much much of difference. My "Thuya" box does not come close to any picture of the Thuya boxes on Galen.
I am still convinced I received the wrong box. Very disappointed.

Manage your expectations that you will receive a beautiful box but of course each box will be different.

I own a considerable amount of Galen products, sketch and writing boxes plus many leather products but disappointed with the Thuya box transactionn.
