There are always so many uses for these old wooden utensil boxes ! I have several and I love leaving them out on a shelf or table to display antique kitchen ware or even to use in a living room for holding miscellaneous small items such as pens or reading glasses . I use one just for displaying and holding handmade candles and herbs . And of course you can actually use it in a drawer to hold utensils ! This box has 2 openings for carrying . It has 4 slots to hold items . It measures 9.5 x 13.5x 2.25 . It has beautiful dove tail corners . There is some light wear from age and you can see in the picture there is a slight space / gap in the back . It’s not noticeable laying down . It is durable enough to carry and hold items and free stand as a shelf .
