Beige Liner picks up lint, difficult to clean
Color: 1-Black, Size: S, Color: 1-Black, Size: S
I purchased this for my husband to organize things on his nightstand. The design is good and it looks nice, but the interior part with the beige suede picks up dark lint and is difficult to clean. It just makes it look dirty. I've tried vacuuming it, using a lint brush, taking it off with tape, etc. to no avail. It would be better if the inside was the same black material as the exterior.

Great for use atop the bedside table!
Very nice! I bought this for my father for his birthday, and he really liked the gift! It's a nice little place for him to keep all of his essentials together on the bedside table. No more losing his watch, keys, wallet, etc. or knocking them off the table!
