Know before you buy
The box measures 4.8 inches wide, 2.4 inches high, and 1.6 inches deep. It is best suited for small items like paperclips, sewing notions, jewelry, or a few tubes of paint.
The box is made from high-quality steel with a durable finish. While it is rugged, it is intended for indoor use, so it is best to keep it away from prolonged moisture to prevent potential oxidation.
The camber lid is designed for a snug fit, but it is not a locking or airtight container. It is perfect for keeping items organized on a desk or in a bag, but it may pop open if tossed around roughly.
Toyo Steel uses a specialized 'deep drawing' technique that presses a single sheet of steel into shape. This eliminates sharp corners and seams, resulting in a smooth, sturdy, and aesthetically clean finish.
Because of the unique cambered lid design, these boxes are not designed to stack securely. They are best used as standalone organizers or side-by-side on a shelf.
