Based on the feedback that I got, the left shadow is way too flat to make sense of the form so it doesn't make logical sense. Also, the form on the top right that kind of looks like the back of the box is ill defined. These are the two parts I'm struggling with the most. Also, I'm not sure what to do with regard to the tone outside of the subject. I might blend it as it is and leave it as a 10-15% dark, maybe fading out to like a 20-30% dark. Not too sure yet. I didn't use a ruler during my construction which was unfortunate, as some of the lines in the block look wonky.

Keep in mind that the exposure of the camera is different than what light my eye would be seeing; the general relationships between the values should be the same, though.

Once I fix these problems up I think it'll be a pretty solid drawing, though. There are some proportion issues (and my shot wasn't close to perfect with regard to my viewpoint) but it still looks convincingly like a cloth, so I'm okay with how it is. For my first serious tonal drawing I'm very happy with it.
