Soft bending occurred along the bottom ridge which would meet a table top if stood upright. Nothing noticeable. The box lid is missing which does not take away from its decorative display. This box was made at a time when using candles was a daily event. Standing candles upright for display and use makes the lid a obstacle. Works well as a hanging letter or bill box.
