$30 500 chip oak case?

Anyone know anything about this case? Weight, quality, etc.? It seems like a good value - much cheaper than a lot of the wooden cases out there. I like the little 100 chip trays that come out. I've seen it on a few different websites, in 300 and 500 chip versions.

Sent you a PM with a local source where you might be able to examine the case for yourself.

I have this case myself (500 count), well one very similar. Only difference is mine does not have the green felt on the inside top and the handle is made of leather.

The case is very solid, I have it filled with Nevada Jacks right now. Only complaint I have is the storeage compartment underneath the chip trays is to shallow. Decks of cards are a tight squeeze in there. And if you have Copags, which come in plastic containers, forget about putting them in, they will simply not fit. I had to put my copags into a regular paper card box to get them in my case.

Also, each section of the tray is meant to hold 25 chips, but in actuallity they can hold about 27-28. So overall mine can handle around 560 chips with a tight squeeze. I put 26 chips per row right now and they are flimsy. 27 or 28 is just right depending on your chip thickness of course.

Very nice being able to take out a single section at a time too. Very nice case overall, I am quite happy with it, especially compared to the cheap aluminum case that my chips came in originally.
