After searching for an artist's toolbox locally, and seeing only plastic or metal, poorly made junk, we found this online. It looked exactly like what we needed. We were thrilled when our artist daughter opened the box! It is a beautiful piece. Perfect tool for the artistic soul! Good job!

I was initially apprehensive purchasing a foreign made Gerstner, but I also didn't want to spend $650 for the comparable US made version......
BOY AM I GLAD I SAVED MYSELF ALL THAT MONEY!!
This International version is top notch.
There hasn't been any skimping on quality - and aside for a couple of changes in some of the accents of the box, I would venture to bet that this box will stand the test of time with it's USA counterpart.

Excellent, good value. This case is to be used for gun cleaning supplies but may be too nice for that purpose.
This Gerstner International case is made in China, but is apparently made to Gerstner's American specifications.
The joints line up pefectly, the hardware has been carefully attached, and all the pieces are of solid wood, except the drawer bottom, which looks to be a thin 3-ply luan. I did find one stray drop of wood glue on the inside when the bottom drawer was removed.
Overall, this Asian made case is a beauty, and a credit to the Gerstner name.
An Gerstner American made version of this exact case is $320, the least expensive item they make.
These cases, as well as all Gersner cases can become family heirlooms.
That I found this case at an Art Shop, on sale, and with free shipping was a surprise.
Well done, Madison Art Shop!

Very nice chest. Using it for firearm cleaning brushes, tools and parts. Madison Art very quick in shipping product. Disappointed in that it was made in China. No keys were in the package.
(Ed. Note: Dear Tom, That was a factory-packed brand-new unopened item that was sent to you. The missing keys must have been a production mis-hap. I will have a new lock and keys shipped out to you for you to switch out. Thank you for understanding! - Sharon)

The Utility Carrying Case is extremely well made and beautifully finished. It is too nice to use as a tool box. It is sad that it could not be made in North America at a competitive price.

Classy well made tool box at an excellent price. Fit and finish is excellent. Size and usability perfect. My only regret is that it couldn't be made here for reasonable price.
