[QUOTE="quirkygirl, post: 748694, member: 106"]Not metal ... very lightweight. I originally thought they were made out of thin pieces of wood until I tried to find out what they were used [U]for[/U] ... and I kept seeing similar pieces described as papier-mâché ... which confused me because what I remember as 'paper-mache' was strips of paper soaked in paste and wrapped around a form or balloon to harden :rolleyes: These boxes weren't [I]that[/I] stuff. Small thrift store. I think you're right. They're pretty good at getting things out quickly, so donations are usually put out more or less in the order that they arrive. Thanks! :) I wondered what those little bits of metal were for ... just decoration? ... I'll try to shine them up in the morning. Thanks again! :)[/QUOTE]
