Executive Sandbox - Beach Themed Zen Garden - Desktop Stress Relieving Office Decor - Includes 8” x 10” Hardwood Sandbox, 8 Seaside Accessories, and Ultra-Fine Sand

Awesome desk / table top novelty decoration. This miniature beach in a box looks fantastic. Everything is just almost perfectly scaled. The timber box to hold the ' beach ' is nice and solid to touch as real wood should be and blends in well with both the ' beach ' and other wood furniture like my desk which is also natural hardwood. All the little beach items are well made and painted just right. The chair is a glossy vibrant white under day light and fades into the background just enough in a dimly lit night time environment. The umbrella top has real fabric that is soft to touch yet with a firm texture one would expect from a ' beach ' umbrella for ' outdoors ' . Both chair and umbrella appear crafted from some kind of wood and not plastic. Chair is quite solid to touch. Bucket and spade / shovel are just the right proportions, not too small, not too large. Also painted well. Bright colours. All the tiny sea shells looks great and very close to the real thing. The sand is real and looks great, more than enough in the bag to easily fill the box about half way. The starfish is okay, depends on what you expect from such a creature. The sandcastle could be a little bigger and mine has a light blue-ish uneven tint across it for some reason. Should be sandy coloured for best effect or even just plain white.All up, a delightful ' little world in a box ' type gift you will enjoy looking at every day once everything is setup and the sand raked to your liking.

I cannot being to explain how terrific this beach in a durable sturdy box really makes me and my friend very happy. In the above pics you will see I added three sandcastles, three seagulls and two white starfish of my own. The little bag of shells is awesome and cute. After I examined the well made wood, I opened the sand and poured it in...OHHHH.... I CLOSED MY EYES....felt the sand, soft, coolness, texture of real beach sand and I was immediately relaxed and smiling. There is no downside to this at all. I read that someone said there is no lid....That is not exactly true! When you take the cellophane off you have a very sturdy lid that had the beach stuff in it. Anyway, I kept the lid that sits right on top of the beach wood perfectly. Then when I transport it, all I do is put the lid on top, of course I close the umbrella and lay down the chair and then I secure it with two rubber bands and I’m good to go. Also, if you needed to securely raise your beach to play, then simply turn the box over and the zen fits securely into the grooves of the box!! (See pics above on how to secure it without loosing any sand). It’s win-win and I will be buying several more of these for gifts!! Thank You so very much whoever thought to make this!!! God Bless.

I keep this on my desk and it’s a nice distraction when I’m on a long meeting or I am just wishing I was at the beach instead of work. Cute little shovel with pail and rake - good amount of sand.

it's fun cute toy to have and play with once in a while. My apartment gets very dusty from heavy constructing works in the vecinity and the dust doesn't forgive this toy. So you can clean the accessories but you can't really clean the sand. So you mix it up and eventually the sands went from very light to greyish. I suppose I could just buy a bag of sand and clean this one out.No change in the review except down from 5 to 4 stars in durability; it gets dirty fast and the cleaning is not so practical.Just an added advice if you have cats.. Does leave it around where your cat could use it as a litter box !!! lol

This product will make you feel as though you’re having a day at the beach, no matter the weather. Being at the beach has a way of mellowing out your day. With this product, the beach comes to you, whenever you want it!

Purchased this to use for mental breaks at the office. I recently returned from a beach vacation and brought home some sand and seashells as a momento. This item is perfect as a display in my office and I use it several times a day when I need a break from my screen or want to escape to the sea (especially since I am in a landlocked state). I highly recommend this product for any beach lover. (I did not use the sand, seashells or sandcastle that were included. I printed a water theme photo that I saw from another review).

If you know what ASMR is......then we'll just become BFF'S. I ordered this when I was 8 months pregnant. I wanted to have a natural birth and learn to focus on calming things in my hospital room. I love this so much. Its the most relaxing thing! I brought this into my hospital room and zoned out as I watched my husband play with it while I was in labor. Its such a stress relief. A simple joy, really. I still play with it after the birth of my son and it relaxes me so much I'm ready for a nap afterwards! I cant wait to show my son when he's older. I know he will enjoy playing with it too! The packaging was easy to open, very organized. This is a type A persons DREAM if you like to keep your beach clean!! :) I cant wait to order the zen garden next! Love this!Executive Sandbox - A Day at the Beach

I didn't expect to fall in love with such a silly little sundry, but here I am. I bought the set as a prop for a photo shoot, since I couldn't actually get to a real beach to capture the "staycation" concept for a client. Well, not only did they go wild for the results, I absolutely adore having this thing on my desk now that it's job is done. It's surprisingly soothing to just absently rake the sand into spiraling patterns, tracing around the tiny seashells and miniature sandcastle... It's genuinely comforting to take a few minutes to enjoy the beach during stressful moments, especially when stuck working at home.
