Just don't buy the black tassel (seriously) version of this humidor found on eBay. I have the black tassel one; I took a hammer to it to see how it was constructed. Pressboard bottom of the humidor part; fitted, not glued in place so it leaks into the drawers. "Spanish cedar lining" was extremely-thin veneer; The floor of the tray was pressboard with spanish cedar veneer as well.
OTOH, my 'good' humidor was also an eBay purchase. A used 3/4" real wood, 3/8" full cedar lining, for under $100.
Seems hard to find a new real wood humidor until you get just over $1k. I'd probably get Staebell or Vanderburgh. (Well, I wouldn't pay that much, but in those you get what you pay for). The "Stogiefresh" special that Vanderburgh did was well-priced, but I don't know if those are still available.
