This very well made tissue box is sturdy and a great matte black. It’s not a dark black. It has a nifty slide out bottom piece that is well made. At first I struggled to find a box of tissues that fit into the box. Luckily I saw elsewhere that you remove the tissues from their cardboard packaging and place directly into this tissue box, ta da! It’s a great box and just what I wanted.I have always kept a box of tissues in my car but they would become squished and the box would be falling apart. With this box my tissues stay clean and un-crumpled. You just take the tissues out of the cardboard box and put them in this box. Plus it matches the car interior.
