All Pearl Giant Bead Box (229750)

The case isn't very good for storage because it has no locking mechanism. The top slides off entirely making it very easy to accidentally knock the top off. The dividers are part of the box which meaning that you can't accidentally slide the dividers out and mix all your beads. The lid sits almost flush with the dividers as well meaning that you don't have to worry about the beads mixing if the case is turned upside down (although you have to address the issue of keeping the lid shut). Assuming the box is sealed, the box does its job of keeping the beads separated for shipping but I would recommend storing these beads in a box which has a proper lid.I ordered mine 'Like New' from the Amazon Warehouse and my box was not properly closed. The beads spilled all over the bag which contained the box and, of course, the beads were all mixed up requiring me to sort them by hand. I'm not sure if this is because I ordered it from the Amazon warehouse or if there is an issue with shipping these beads properly. Part of the appeal of this bead set is that they are pre-sorted which takes a lot of tedious work out of making patterns.These beads look really nice and I'm planning on buying them in the future. They have a glossy/pearl like finish which makes them look super high quality and makes kandi bracelets stand out from everyone else. There are very few casting defects on the beads that you would normally find on beads priced at the same price point.The price is very similar to other lower quality options available here on Amazon. For example you can buy a 1000 piece mixed bag for $4. This product contains a little over 2000 beads, meaning that you get about the same value in terms of price per bead but these are much higher quality.Overall, I would highly recommend these beads. I took off one star for the box being broken open and having to sort the beads by hand as well as the included plastic box having no locking mechanism for the lid. I wouldn't mind paying a couple extra dollars for this product if a better box was included (with a hinged snap-locking lid). However, I will be buying these again!

I depended on the case they're in to store them. Well the package was sent in an envelope and the case was broken in the corner. I've done what I can with it but I'm not overly happy about it.

The beads themselves have gorgeous color and are overall a good quality.Some of the beads are missing a half and some have "crust" on the side that can be scraped off, but the vast majority of them are good to go.The major problem I have is that the tiny piece of scotch tape that holds on the lid is not sufficient for shipping. Twice the lid has come off during transit and when I open the box, the beads are all mixed up and loose inside the box. The attached two pictures are from *two separate* shipments.

I ordered this kit because of the variety, but the only color I actually NEEDED was red. It arrived broken, of course, which I was expecting based on other reviews. As my kids and I made a project of sorting the beads back into their boxes, it became clear that all the colors were present, except... red. I don't know if there were extras of the other colors or if I was just short by that number of beads, but I called and asked to have the missing red beads sent out. Turns out this is not an option, so I'm returning the whole thing and attempting to reorder, in hopes of receiving a complete kit. Either way, our project won't be done on time. :(The rest of the beads were nice... pretty colors and very few broken pieces, from what I could tell. Clearly, I liked it enough to take my chances with another replacement kit!

My son likes to bead while I'm beading. I got this box through Amazon Warehouse Deals for cheap. It arrived with the lid sealed on tight. I did manage to break a corner of the case off while opening it up. We just leave it in the craft room so it just goes from shelf to floor to shelf to floor. I don't think this would work well for travel unless you used several rubberbands across it to keep it closed up. My son always asked for help picking out certain colors from the premixed beads we had, so it is nice that they are pre-sorted and he can go to town beading away using the certain colors he wants on a project. More fun for him, and more time beading for me!

My daughter got her hair braided in Mexico and just had to have it done again when we got home! I purchased these shortly after we got back and they arrived within a couple days. The colors are great, I love the variety. This pack is HUGE and the case seems sturdy. There are no hinges on the case or anything so I am fearful that my kids will end up knocking the hole thing over one of these days. I love that each color has a slot for easy access to a specific color. Overall I am extremely pleased with this purchase, this is exactly what I was looking for and I would absolutely purchase it again in the future!

If you want to make Kandi bracelets or key chains these beads are ideal. The quality is good (much better than the beads you get in the bags) and the colors are nice and bright, not dull or muddy looking. The case is good and divides up the colors to make using them easier. The major gripe most people have is that the lid does not lock but that is easy to fix. I used three strips of duct tape to make hinges on one side of the lid then I used two strips of duct tape and thick string to make a simple lock and it works really well. It keeps the lid on tight so I don't have to worry about a spill.

The was very little packing in the box and when the box lid broke in transit, beads became mixed up and spilled out. Therefore, I have 2300 beads to sort through! This is Amazon's fault, not the seller's fault. The beads are as described and are very pretty.

Sono bellissime e ci sono diciotto colori tutti ben divisi ottime per fare dei lavoratori per i bimbi . Sono grande quindi non ne servono molte e il contenitore è perfetto. Ottimo prodotto lo riaccquistero' sicuramente. È arrivato subito e pacco in perfette condizioni!!!! Grazie alle persone gentili e professionali che ci portano i pacchi !!!! :-)

Nice colours and they don’t smell bad like some plastic beads

Case was broken and everything was loose and mixed up.
