The Bandbox is almost cheaply simple. The box is a thin and light wood craft store issue, someone talented with glue could easily make a copy cat in under ten minutes for about $5.
The most unique part of the set is the newspaper print that lines the bottom. It would had been nice if it had lined the sides and lid as well. It is a full copy of a poem.
Given the fact this item is give or take 20 years old, it is held up very well. However I have never had much luck with buckles (Molly's skates, Kit's shoes so the buckle makes me nervous. The bandbox is hard to buckle, a strong and delicate finger nail is needed.
The bandbox can hold a lot. My Addy keeps her knitting and sewing supplies but a lot of her PC small accessories can easily be stored in the box.
It is not Addy or her bandbox fault but compared to the other suitcases it is not neither study and unique. The bandbox is a lovely display piece, but I am not as impressed with the construction than with the details of Felicity's trunk of Kit's (to me) suitcase.
However, Addy likes it and will use it to take her trip.
