"Passionate and beautiful"
I bought this as a gift for a newly married couple. It is light (because of the weight of sugar wood) and beautifully carved. It is passionate portrait of a couple in love. Highly recommended.

"Received box with noticeable split in wood"
I know some amount of damage or differentiation in woodwork could be and usually is considered to be part of the art. However, the box I received had a noticeable split in it, to the point that I would consider damaged. I am returning mine.
