NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY THE TIMES (UK) AND THE WASHINGTON POST

It is 1988. On a dead-end street in a run-down suburb there is a music shop that stands small and brightly lit, jam-packed with records of every kind. Like a beacon, the shop attracts the lonely, the sleepless, and the adrift; Frank, the shop's owner, has a way of connecting his customers with just the piece of music they need. Then, one day, into his shop comes a beautiful young woman, Ilse Brauchmann, who asks Frank to teach her about music. Terrified of real closeness, Frank feels compelled to turn and run, yet he is drawn to this strangely still, mysterious woman with eyes as black as vinyl. But Ilse is not what she seems, and Frank has old wounds that threaten to reopen, as well as a past it seems he will never leave behind. Can a man who is so in tune with other people's needs be so incapable of connecting with the one person who might save him? The journey that these two quirky, wonderful characters make in order to overcome their emotional baggage speaks to the healing power of music--and love--in this poignant, ultimately joyful work of fiction.

LOVE LOVE LOVE

This jewelry stand is so beautiful and adequately holds all of my jewelry. It perfectly fits in with my gothic victorian-esque bedroom, and honestly amplifies that aesthetic further. I love using the trays for necklaces and bracelets. It looks to be of very high quality and seems extremely sturdy, partly because it’s made of metal. It came fully assembled in the box which was very convenient. Honestly, I was hesitant to buy it since it is a little pricey, but it was worth every penny.

Very pretty
Color: White
This is a very pretty earring tree and not too big. Earrings show up well. Only downfall is there is a slight tipping forward of the actual tree. You have to wiggle it around to make it totally straight and just tightening the nut underneath is not enough, it takes some adjusting. That is not enough to reduce the rating since it is so pretty and the tray below is great.

Very pretty and fairly sturdy
It comes unassembled but is easy to put together. I will be adding a bit of glue so it does not turn after assembled but it doesn't affect the functionality. It looks very nice and holds a lot of earrings. I'm using it for a few companion necklaces as well. The tray is nice for bangles and rings. I really like this tree!

Cute but not the sturdiest
Color: White
It hold everything well and looks really nice on my dresser. I like that the variations in the leaves allows for me to hang things of varying size up in a way that’s cute and accessible when I want to wear it. I like having all my jewelry visible at a glance. The base is a really light weight wood and so you can’t screw the top super tightly just because the wood wouldn’t hold up to that very well. That means that the tree may lean or spin a bit if you’re grabbing your earring and it’s base from one of the leaves. There’s no fear of breakage, but just not the ideal experience. So it’s not the sturdiest. It doesn’t really need to be to do what it does, but that’s the one thing I wish could be improved about this display.

I love this!!
I struggled to put it together - I had to use pliers and REALLY PRY to get the nut off in order to screw it to the base. But once I did, I am super happy with this. It's pretty and has a lot of room for all my earrings. I also put necklaces and bracelets in the base. The downside other than how hard it was to put together is how wobbly the tree part is, but I think if I tightened the screw, it would be fine.
