The case is sturdy and not as heavy as I would think it ... [SEP] I purchased this as I was running out of space in my old makeup case, and I had to leave some out.  With this I have more than enough room to put all of the makeup (which is quite a bit) and still have extra room for jewelry.  I still have lots of extra space left over.  The case is sturdy and not as heavy as I would think it would've been when it was full.<br />Great product!!  Highly recommended.
