These BEASTIES are hand crafted from the highest quality materials. The wood is pine, aspen, and popular. The stains and lacquers are oil-based. The interior and exterior bottoms are covered in felt. **The Rainbows are finished in food-quality linseed oil, so it's safe for children.**

These boxes are very durable and will withstand decades of normal use with no need for specialized care. They can be wiped down with water, if needed.

Your box has been lacquered both inside & out multiple times, however wood and water traditionally, are not friends. Always use a plastic liner in between your plant and the wooden box. I would also suggest removing your plant to water it, then place it back in the box. Likewise with direct sun. Over time, the sun will bleach the colors and wear down the lacquer coating. If you are ok with your Beastie only lasting 3-5 years, feel free to hang it outside in the open weather. But if you want it to last a lifetime, you must protect it from the outdoor elements.

Just about anything that fits! Notes, money, earrings, trinkets, keys, toy cars. But please don't put any liquids in your box, they are not water/liquid safe without a liner. The Beastie Planters are made for live plants, but please always use a liner. The boxes are lacquered inside & out multiple times, but moisture will still always win. (#dangmoisture)

I will begin creating your item from scratch as soon as it is ordered, please allow 4 weeks for this creation, although it maybe sooner. Please email me if your purchase is time sensitive, and I can give you a firm timeframe for its competition. Please allow an additional time for shipping. **Please note holidays are epically busy, so get those orders in early!**

Yes, I'd love to! Did you have different colors in mind? Pink turtle, did you say?! Or maybe a whole new BEASTIE altogether. Please email me to discuss :)

There is awalys something new in the works, plus I love suggestions! If you have an idea, please drop me a note and I'll see what I can do!
