I was worried about ordering this, since "leatherette" sounded kind of cheap. I was expecting something like the vinyl seat of an old car. It's actually quite handsome, looks and feels like leather unless you closely inspect the reverse side. Time will tell how well it ages, but for now I am pleasantly surprised.
I ordered it because, despite its relatively compact size, it holds 24 knives, the second 12 on a removable panel that sits on top of the first 12. Most silver chests I looked at only had slots for 12. I have a 12-person set and each setting includes two knives, e.g. dinner knife and slightly smaller cheese or dessert knife, so my previous silver holder had 12 knives lying loose inside. This one keeps them all in place and is small enough to fit in my cabinet drawer.
The knife slots are very close together, but there are ways of staggering the knives so they don't touch. I tried it in two different ways. See photo.
If I have one criticism, it's that it's a little pricey given the materials involved and construction of the box.

Holds twice as many knives as other boxes I could find that were this small. More elegant in person than online.
