Bead colors are gorgeous!
I purchased the Crayon, Sparkle, and Pastel/Jelly Bead Boxes. These were the first pony beads I bought, and I couldn't be happier with them! I haven't seen any faulty beads yet in any of the boxes. The colors are very true to the photos as well as the amount of beads in each slot. All of my boxes were perfectly in tact upon arrival and were all taped shut. Two of the boxes were also in individual bags (the top one was not in a bag). No beads had spilled out or become mixed.
One thing to keep in mind with these boxes is that, unfortunately the lids do not snap/clip shut... (they simply sit on top) However, if you are worried about the boxes being knocked over you could easily tape them or rubber band them shut so they are more secure.
Over all, I'm very happy with this purchase, and I would repurchase these again in a heartbeat!
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 ordered three different sets of these beads, all arrived with the lid taped in place, unlike some of the previous reviews. There was one corner of one box that appears cracked but otherwise all is in great condition. Beads are great for my kids projects. However, these boxes do not snap or lock in place, so I think that I'll transfer them to a tackle/craft box just to keep them more secure. I'd hate to pick up 3 entire boxes of these beads. Overall even with the cheap case it's still a better value, more beads for less money, than at my local Walmart.
Beautiful colors and perfectly shaped beads. This has created hours of endless fun in my house. My son and I make all kinds of things with these beads. The colors are even more beautiful in person. This is a great buy for the money. We bought stretchy string along with this and made all kinds of things. These beads are good to enhance your child's mine motor skills.

Description
BEADERY-Bead Extravaganza Box: Crayon Mix. This package contains approximately 2300 plastic pony beads in eighteen opaque colors. Each measures 1/4x1/4 inch. Recommended for ages 6 and up. Made in USA.
Just as I read in other reviews, the container was broke when it was delivered. It was packaged in a large Manila envelope and most of the beads were down in there. I had to buy a new container and separate all the beads. Other than that inconvenience the beads are good quality and nice colors.
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!
The box came broken so my beads were spilled out into the larger shipping box. I was hoping to use the case it came in as the storage but now I’ll need to find something new. Several beads were broke but all in all it was a good purchase for what I need them for.
Bought this for kids' summer activity - Great volume for three kids and their wild creations! We melted these in oven to make sun catchers. However there are a few pieces that are broken half or chipped.
There are so many beads in this kit! I bought it for a birthday party where all the little girls beaded their own necklaces. They barely put a dent in it! I love the variety of colors. The only problem is the lid doesn't stay on very well and I have to tape it or else there are beads everywhere.
