In the description, it stated that the case was "metal". The only thing metal is the handle and latching mechanism. The case itself is cardboard and the latching mechanism is loose. I returned it but the replacement mechanism was also loose.Sturdy cardboard with metal clasp, mehPlastic organizers insideI should've known this sounded too good to be true. The description states it's made of metal. Only the handle and closure are metal. I'll keep it because I was able to organize years worth of photos in the plastic cases and it's decent enough not to return. At the time I bought this, the plastic cases for inside were only a few bucks less than this set, so I guess it's not the worst deal out there.This will keep all your family memories in order love itThe plastic storage cases were good but the box is terrible. Handles are plastic not metal and the covering is flimsy craft paper . The box came with the paper ripped on the corners. It's cute but cheaply made.Arrived ripped at the corner. Sad because it’s a cute box, just needs to be a little thicker or glued together better. Handle and closure are plastic and I would definitely not carry it by the handle in fear of ripping it off if you fill the box. I’m not sure it’s worth the price in general but definitely not if it arrives ripped often as I can see in other reviews.I wasn't expecting much from this product. I knew it was going to be cardboard but my plan was to cover it with a self adhesive wall paper that I already have. However, I wasn't expecting this cheap, flimsy cardboard. The corners were all broken and at first I thought "oh I'll just get a new box and keep the plastic boxes". I quickly changed my mind when I saw that even the plastic boxes were all scuffed up.The details say the item is metal but it is notsee headline
