8″ Round Box with Recessed Lid

8 in across, 3½ in tall — $78

Currently made in an antiqued natural finish only.

A note if you’re mounting work: because these lids are built for inserts, you may see small spaces where the top board meets the band. That’s normal for the style, and it’s fully covered once your piece is installed. You’ll need an insert to attach your needlework — not included; a piece of foam core board from any craft supplier works well.
