Overall: For the price, this is a great travel altar box for the beginning meditator, though some components feel inexpensive and require careful handling. If you treat it gently or replace the statue with something a bit nicer, the box and incense alone may be worth the purchase.

Pros: The box is beautiful, and the incense smells lovely. The incense is attractively bound with string, and the kata provides a nice bed/wrap to hold the objects.

Cons: The Buddha statue is clearly inexpensive and unfinished on the back. The incense is fragile, falls apart easily, and does not fit the holder particularly well. The included candle is not a standard tea light size, so replacements require trimming to fit. The paper covering the box scuffs easily, and the dye can yellow if exposed to water or condensation. Incense dust also smudges the surface quite readily.
