I tought I ordered 2 bead boards, instead I got 2 useless covers. Rather than give me credit on my credit card that I paid with I have store credit. So now I MUST purchase something from you. The bead boards that you have are outrageous in price. So I'm obligated to shop with you. I like choices. Sorry.
