The lid and base wood were bent to form the oval shape. The box is very sturdy, and strong having thick wood structure.

The interior and underneath the lid, were lined with traditional Country Style cotton fabrics trimmed with ribbon and lace. The lid and interior bottom were also padded under the red and cream cotton check gingham.
