Personally, I think this is a bit overpriced for something you might replace with a simple cigar box. But that being said, it's really inspired me to paint quite a bit more, so I've definitely gotten value out of it. And there are some clever features such as the sliding palette and the brackets to hold canvas boards.If you are interested in painting on 5x7" canvas boards, this model is perfect. You can fit 3 of them in the box, and two of them can even be wet when you close it up! I usually paint on card stock instead, and just slip a few blanks in between my canvas boards. Under the sliding palette I fit: a couple pencils & sharpener, 12 small tubes of acrylic, a few small brushes, a small painting knife, and a small cloth.I haven't tried using the thumb hole or the tripod screws on the bottom. I mainly use this box to paint in a cafe or fast food restaurant, and just set it down on the table. The whole thing is small enough that I don't feel outrageously conspicuous in such situations.The only complaint I have about the physical product itself is that the lid can't be tightened firmly enough to hold it open at fixed angle. This surprised me, since the lid is intended to act as an easel and has a somewhat involved mechanism hold it open. Most of them time, I end up not using the back as an easel and just put my canvas or card stock flat on the table.

When you add the feet and the tripod mount there are eight nuts and bolts sticking up in the bottom of the box. I see this as a good way to tear holes in tubes of paint. Without the additions it is a good box to use on the thumb.

Fantastic size. It is perfect for my watercolor setup. The size limits how much I take out with me, which is helpful. There is just enough space to fit 4 travel brushes, 2 fountain pens, a pencil, and 2 Pitt pens, a 6" ruler, a folding water reservoir, 2 small tins of watercolors, and a small Moleskine watercolor journal. I do wish the lid was complete without the open slot on the front. My larger Gorrilla boxes do not have this feature, so I was surprised and at first very disappointed upon seeing it. The opening is made to hold wet canvases, which I don't use as a watercolorist. However, it has not proved to be a problem thus far. The leather closure strap holds the journal in place. All small items must be kept in the storage space below. I covered the thumb hole with heavy paper, sized to fit the box, so nothing can fall out. Overall, it is the best box I have found to fit my particular needs and wants. It fits perfectly in my Timbuktu messenger bag.
