Lucite has had a recent comeback in transitional interiors, and I love it. I believe that a space needs something to grab your attention — something just a little bit different to make a statement — and a single Lucite accent does that beautifully. These are some of my favorites. — Christina from Greige

I'm curious about the range in prices: for instance, the first lucite boxes are E44 ($58) each; the second - the one with the rope handles, is $1,135, which is a substantial difference for what looks to my eyes virtually the same thing...
Are there different grades of lucite, therefore? Does it scratch easily? Does it last? Does it go yellow or crazed?
