Perfect for the office when you want to escape and play in the sand.

Awesome desk / table top novelty decoration. This miniature beach in a box looks fantastic. Everything is just almost perfectly scaled. The timber box to hold the ' beach ' is nice and solid to touch as real wood should be and blends in well with both the ' beach ' and other wood furniture like my desk which is also natural hardwood. All the little beach items are well made and painted just right. The chair is a glossy vibrant white under day light and fades into the background just enough in a dimly lit night time environment. The umbrella top has real fabric that is soft to touch yet with a firm texture one would expect from a ' beach ' umbrella for ' outdoors ' . Both chair and umbrella appear crafted from some kind of wood and not plastic. Chair is quite solid to touch. Bucket and spade / shovel are just the right proportions, not too small, not too large. Also painted well. Bright colours. All the tiny sea shells looks great and very close to the real thing. The sand is real and looks great, more than enough in the bag to easily fill the box about half way. The starfish is okay, depends on what you expect from such a creature. The sandcastle could be a little bigger and mine has a light blue-ish uneven tint across it for some reason. Should be sandy coloured for best effect or even just plain white.

All up, a delightful ' little world in a box ' type gift you will enjoy looking at every day once everything is setup and the sand raked to your liking.

Love love love this little sandbox. It's so cute and fun to play with when I need to clear my head. My only complaint is that the umbrella pole is really weak. I was assembling the base and pushing it into the sand and unfortunately the pole bent on me. Other than that, I love the product.

My sister, the beach freak, loved it. She has it in her desk at work and has added other things to make it cooler. One glance takes her away from work for a few seconds and takes her back to the beach for a breather.

I got this as a secret Santa gift for a coworker
And he loved it..he uses it more as a zen garden to mess around with..we work at a call center so it helps when he gets tough calls and he moves things around or just plays with the sand...he got compliments right away..it's a nice size..all the items were in them..very nice size ..good as decoration ..purpose is like a zen garden but beach style for his happy personality.
I would recommend this item as a gift or something nice to distract you at work.
