Yes, the space underneath the removable acrylic tray is designed to accommodate larger items such as dressmaking shears or rotary cutters, provided they fit within the box's overall dimensions.
Is this box suitable for professional use?

Troubleshooting
Magnetic closure not staying shut
Ensure there are no obstructions between the magnetic clasps. Check that the fabric covering the magnets is not damaged or misaligned. If the issue persists, the magnetic mechanism may be faulty.
Acrylic tray is difficult to remove or insert
Ensure the tray is aligned correctly with the guides inside the box. Try gently wiggling it into place. If it feels stuck, check for any small objects that might be preventing smooth movement.
Fabric exterior showing signs of wear
For minor scuffs, try gently wiping with a slightly damp cloth. For more significant wear, consider it part of the item's character or use a fabric repair kit for small tears.
Pin cushion losing its firmness
The pin cushion is designed for temporary storage of pins and needles. If it becomes too compressed over time, it cannot be replaced or refilled; consider using it for lighter items or placing a small fabric square over it to provide support.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: This sewing box requires no assembly. Upon receiving, simply open the magnetic closure and remove any packaging materials. The internal acrylic tray can be placed in or removed from its designated slot as needed.
Compatibility: The box is designed to store typical sewing and craft notions such as pins, needles, thread spools, scissors, snips, tape measures, buttons, and small craft tools. It is not designed for storing large items like fabric bolts or extensive sewing machine accessories.
Care: To maintain the appearance and longevity of the sewing box, clean the exterior fabric with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the fabric and lining. Ensure the box is dry before closing it. The interior satin lining and acrylic tray can be wiped clean with a soft, damp cloth. Allow to air dry completely. Keep away from excessive moisture and direct sunlight to prevent fading or material degradation.
