Good Budget Alternative to Big Name Brands
These water fuse beads are a good buy if you want to get into water fuse beading but don't want to spend the money on Aquabeads or Beados. Assume any comparisons I make are with those brands.The organizer box is handy though flimsy. The tools look a bit crappy, but they work well and having "tweezers" is helpful for fixing misplaced beads. My name brand sets didn't come with that kind of tool, and I'm not sure why: So useful if you have human-sized fingers (I do). There are individual cups to store different color beads, which are also flimsy but prevent huge bead mix ups and spills vs. divided tray style bead organizers. The box contains everything you need to get started right away.The plastic trays on which you build your creations are thinner and more flexible plastic, and can snap together. The snap together doesn't work well, but it's a good idea nonetheless. There are few different pre-made shape trays (star, heart, etc) which are great for younger kids who find following patterns frustrating. There are also a ton of patterns included, some of which resemble famous characters from TV and movies. They don't "attach" well to the trays and are made of thin paper, but you can find creative ways to make this work.While these are functionally the same, they aren't interchangeable with Aquabeads or Beados as the diameter of the beads are smaller. The beads aren't as shiny, brightly colored, or uniform in shape either, but the color selection is good and they adhere well. Be careful if you overspray, though: the beads can dissolve/melt if you add too much water. Keep in mind also that the number of beads look impressive, you end up using a lot for one creation so be prepared and get refills if you are planning a party/project spree.All in all, good buy for the price. They won't work with name brand kits, but are functionally similar.

Ok.
This was ok. In the description or said it dried in 10 minutes. The package said 1hr. It really took 4 hours. Also I felt there was more pictured than came with the set.

Good deal for the price
So many colors to choose from. Got some pretty neat tools to use as well! Great deal for the price! There are a few misshaped balls but they still work!

Good product! Everything fits in case. Takes time to dry just like aqua beads.
