For my first purchase (3 month subscription box), I'm a little disappointed. The instructions are good and the videos (YouTube) are excellent. The beads are very pretty. Unfortunately, I did not receive enough beads to finish one of the projects. Some of the beads also had holes fused shut. I tried reaching out to customer support via the website and haven't heard back yet. I intend to keep trying their products because their designs are so pretty and the videos are so well done. Maybe I just got unlucky with my first project.
