The holes were not drilled all the way through, and they are way too many small ones that nothing could have fit twine through! When confronted the seller sounded very unhelpful & arrogant. Told them the issue in the first message & they asked to send a photo pretending they're fixing the issue. After received the photo, asked what issue again. Advised again & they finally said they see "nothing wrong" with the item & asked me to contact Amazon. Obviously not willing to work with buyers when issue arises. Then why the runaround? Total waste of time. Buyers avoid at all costs!

These beads are fantastic! I have bought brands from other stores and there are always a lot of beads that are misshapen and/or damaged. I only found ONE bead that was slightly misshapen in this set. I used this set to make a garland for our tree. and just using the 20mm, 16 mm, and 12mm I was able to make a little over 10 feet of garland. Already bought a second set. The ONLY issue I have, which is a very very small issue; is that I would love a set with just the larger beads. First world problems I guess. But still Overall a 5 star product. I am sure I will be buying even more of these!

I love making handmade decor with yarn and wood. I wanted these beads to add texture to some of my wall hangings and I specifically wanted them to be unfinished so that I could use wood stain or paint on them. They were a little smaller than I was envisioning, but they worked well! So far I made two simple projects. A hanging basket for a remote and a keychain.Pros: There are plenty of beads to last me several projects. If I need more, I wouldn't have a problem spending the small amount of money to order more. The beads are very smooth and not splintery. They seem completely unfinished and would react well to sanding, staining or painting. The different sizes allow for a variety of decorating options. I can see these beads coming in handy for many projects!Cons: The two smallest size beads have much smaller holes. Since I work with yarn, it's a bit difficult to find a way to thread the yarn through such a small hole. I have made two things with the beads and so far, I have found two beads that did not have the hole drilled completely through. I'm not to concerned, however, as that can happen when products are mass-produced.

Very good quality. I watered-down acrylic paints, soaked for a few minutes in paper cups, dipping them twice and skewers to dry. I was going for a colored wood effect-very pleased.

These worked perfectly for my intention. I made these into 23 inch bead garlands to use for quick release curtain ties. There were plenty of sizes to choose from and all that I've used were uniform; perfectly rounded and smooth. I only encountered one bead so far that couldn't be used at all due to abnormality in the wood. I've yet to paint them so I don't know how well they take to paint. They came all pre-sorted according to size in individual bags. I only wish there were more of the "big" bead sizes. It seems as though these were packaged depending on weight of the beads. Overall, pretty content.

These look like they’re good quality beads and there is several variety sizes. But my intent for them was to dye them and they’re not holding the color. I tried three different colors and three different methods and the dye is not saturating into them. I did not use water with the dye so it’s not diluted. So now I’m gonna have to spend more money on paint and just paint them. Pretty disappointed but some of the things I will be making will call for the natural look so I guess some of them will work for that.

Some of the beads are very tiny which means the holes are VERY tiny. I had to use fishing wire to make the Christmas garland. I was able to get a lot of pretty garland out of it though. Some of the beads didn’t have holes and one was cracked in half but otherwise worth the money !

I used these on garland with dehydrated oranges and cinnamon sticks; looked great and the holes were pretty uniform, so no problem stringing on jute cord. I lightly painted a few little ones with white paint, then lightly sanded to distress, used a sharpee pen to make some 'primitive' faces (meaning imperfect!) and used them as snowmen on name tags for wrapped gifts. They also take stain evenly. You can add a few drops of essential oil in a plastic bag, then shake some beads and they absorb just enough scent...but won't accept paint/stain afterward.
