Selected User Reviews For Totally Bamboo Rock & Branch Series Slate and Acacia Salt & Storage Box
It looks beautiful on its own - it comes in a bamboo salt keeper. If you don't want to use it, don't get As soon as you open the lid, there is a sharp and heavy burnt smell. This application was approved and then sent out in such a confusing way. *I bought sandpaper as a project to remove as much wood as possible and used baking soda and white vinegar (looking up advice on how to get rid of burned smells from wood) in an attempt to reduce the smell. I did this several times and it did not work. My only reason I didn't return this was that I aggressively sanded it in order to make it usable. This isn't suitable for salt, even if I put it in.
Salt cellars are something I've been wanting to own, so when I saw this one I thought it was an excellent idea. A very well made product, but the smell of the acacia wood was very strong. I would rate it overall a 5 out of 5. The Maldon sea salt flakes I bought were too expensive for me to put in it for fear they would absorb the wood odor. In the meantime, I filled it with baking soda, left the lid partially open, and stirred it periodically. It finally took two months for the smell to subside, so I am able to use it again.
Once I wiped it down, the stain came off easily so that the salt tray could be filled with salt. I had to rub the stain many times before some fading occurred. There is also a problem with the lid not closing It's not possible to line up the magnetic closures in the lid and the rim, so there is always an overhang and moisture get inside. That's a bummer since it looks awesome, but it's not made well.
It is very cool to have a salt container like this.
A second one would be a great gift The gift would make a wonderful and unique wedding present!.
The gift was bought for someone else. The salt box was taken out when he opened the This is embarrassing.
The reason I kept coming back to this one is because I had evaluated several others. I was thinking of buying another one.
It has the perfect size, and the magnet closure is fantastic. It is really very pretty.
