The strand I received is great except for the big chip out of the single largest bead- and since the graduated sizes are the whole point of this set, that’s a much bigger problem than having one bead on a strand chipped would usually be. If the time had been taken to place bubble wrap between strands rather than shoving them all in together with a scrap of bubble wrap around the outside, they’d have been fine… and I’m giving them the benefit of the doubt that it got damaged in transit rather than them choosing to send a damaged item. In any case I’m left with a variety of nice beads, but not the complete set I paid for. Back to the drawing board.
