Is it like the hammered ones that is better than pressed sheet ?

I'm not sure what you mean by hammered, but these woks are the exact same ones that I have only found in China the last two times I was there. I have purchased 6 in China (and bought 5 of these on amazon), and I use them almost every day. The metal is thin and can break easily, so I recommend you buy a backup, but they are the real deal. the food tastes great, but you must season them correctly. Also be sure to buy the metal spatula that is curved to perfectly match the shape of the wok, they work the best.

this is super thin, heats fast, but doesn't retain the heat. I like my Lodge cast iron wok better. In my opinion the cast iron woks are better than the pressed sheet ones.

Handhammered woks are carbon steel. The traditional cast-iron wok is iron and is molded/cast: This is one of the oldest cooking vessels in China and made since 1840, and mfg. the same way today by the same factory: One of the marvels of the traditional Chinese foundry industry was the cast-iron wok - the round-bottomed cooking pan used for stir-frying and a thousand other purposes in Chinese cooking. It can be a metre or more in diameter and only a few millimetres thick, and was in early times cast in iron with only about 0.2% silicon - yet it was generally grey-cast. This was accomplished by casting in massive ceramic moulds which were heated to a red heat before casting and then allowed to cool very slowly, taking several days to reach ambient temperature. From the late 19th century, with the availability of high-silicon foundry iron, the technique was simplified dramatically, but the casting of woks remained a sophisticated specialisation in the Chinese foundry industry. Excellent wok, our best seller. Hope you cook with gas; this cast-iron wok is round bottom. Don't understand "does not retain heat". Iron remains hot longer than carbon steel and we have tested this step. Thank you. Ms. Tane Chan (also, very inexpensive)

My friend got their table from Crate and Barrel and it seems identical to this one. We had the opportunity last month to use both of them and I could not see a difference.

I suppose it depends on what you compare them to. Softer than the 400 count bed sheets I've been using at home. I like them...

it leaves a stiff feel.....but it is durable...if you want a very soft feel you will have to look at screen printing. There are some heat transfer vinyl that will give you a soft finish but it cannot be compare to screen printing...

I like Avery card stock. I have compared it to Hallmark and this is heavier paper but still not as heavy as it used to be but I'm happy with it. It is easy to fold because of it is prescored. It works for me and I print a lot of cards.

I would have to agree, I have gone through multiple French presses and they were glass or plastic and it would always break in a few months into it so I was done and just invested in a stainless steel press, amazing press. But that's just my background if your make your coffee or tea everyday I would recommend it, I bring it to work and just pour whenever I wanted more,its a convents.

It's not press board. I have the entire set with coffee table, end tables and TV stand and really like the quality and appearance. Don't use furniture polish, damp cloth works best.

No, it's pieces you build together and core with sheets....hard to put together, pastic is flimsy so doesn't hold the sheet up....don't recommend.

The fitted sheet is nice; the top sheet felt like rayon. The pillowcase was also nicer quality. My daughter hated the top sheet, so she doesn't use it.

I used it on my damp hair and blow dried it straight, then flat ironed my hair. I don't see why a pressing comb could not be used. No tacky feel after.

The ones with lined pages are usually more expensive. This one has the metal rings so I went to Office Max and purchased lined paper with holes and it does quite well. Just make sure you buy the right size.

That's how we use them. Works great, better with some sheets than with others.

I have both and honestly I prefer this to the metal one. This, although made of plastic, is sturdier and the turntable is not as shaky as the metal one.

Craft vinyl yes, home repair vinyl no. However, itwwill dull your punch. I will try a craft knife and stencil.

I believe it is pressed boards, with a laminate finish. I am very happy with mine.

Heavy compressed paper card board about one eighth inch thick. Better than bar stock. Clean white.

I agree with BCo. I haven't tried other sheet brands, but it's pretty forgiving. I use mine for circuit boards!
