based on recent reviews i can't tell whether this set is durable and well_ made or a waste of money

I think it's well made. The small handset that comes with it is nicer than the one I was using before. I use this more often than my regular broom for quick sweeps since it's almost always handy.

The broom set is well made. My 2 year old great-granddaughter loves to sweep with her broom.Money well spent.

We have had ours for 5 years - through two kiddos and it still works great. The metal handle is hollow and lightweight, which makes it easy for a child to handle, but also makes it less sturdy than a typical broom handle. Ours has been bent in one place, but it still works great and the small sweeper and dustpan are also still holding up really well. I have frequently used this broom myself when mine wasn't convenient and it sweeps like a regular broom, not a toy.

I don't think I have the original packaging anymore, so I'm not sure who made the set or where, but it's China quality. I would guess that te set is good for ages 10 and up or so. You need good dexterity to use the tools.

I don't really know how to respond to that without being objective but I would say that they have their weight to them without being too heavy. (And with this I am referring to the larger pieces.) I would tell you that if you are interested in this set, I've owned mine for 8 months now and they still look brand new and I use these pretty much every day. Hope this helps.

I doubt it. The price is reasonable enough for the 5 pieces. I would recommend buying another complete set. You don't take everything to work, do you?

Yeah, they are from different kinds from different sets. you can actually contact them, and let them know which sets you like better, and they will give you more of that stuff.

This set is not exactly the same I purchased a few years ago. So I don't know.

I thought that set was cheap, I would look at other sets or spend the extra money for more quality product personally.

Well, I really like to be helpful, but you've got me stumped! What I can tell you is that the quality seems quite good, the pieces are heavy, and there's nothing that looks or feels flimsy or cheap. I'm very happy with the set.

I was very disappointed with this set. Firstly, it is easy to break the letters since the punching isn't very good. Secondly, it takes a long time to punch them out. Thirdly, I find this style of alphabet too hard to easily determine what some of the letters are and, finally, the cardboard on which it is made is not very sturdy. I haven't been inspired to use mine, yet, but I suspect they won't last more than a few uses and some of the letters have been damaged punching them out in any event. I would not recommend buying this type of lettering from Martha Stewart. Look for something sturdier, in plastic, say. Hope this helps!

Honestly, I would look to spend a little more money on a better quality set. These work fine for what I used them for, but leather is a more valuable product to be dealing with. I would look for better quality. Hope this helped

Instead of searching for more positive responses elsewhere as suggested, be cautious in your purchase. Is there a pattern here? Yes. Does the manufacturer stand by the product? Not so much. Maybe you need to evaluate this against reviews for other gen sets.

Patricia W. I cannot say, I ordered them as a gift & have only seen pictures, but it looks like a quite substantial set. Maybe the vender could respond.

I have only had it a few weeks so I am not sure about the durability over time.

Here's what I'll tell you. I went back and forth with what set of furniture to purchase. Eventually I took the chance with the less expensive of many I researched. Am I happy with it?... yes, because I chose the less expensive I can not be over critical. So, is the fabric more stuff than a more expensive set?...yes. But for me and my family it's ok for now. I am happy with the set but if you're expecting the same quality as a $3000 set, don't. I'm not even 100% sure what kind of fabric I got with my set but I know I didn't alter anything from the order either, so whatever the set generally comes with is what I have. Hope this helps.

No. It seems to be just looks. It does look cool but given the fact of these things break easily it's not worth spending any extra.

Not at all. I've had my set for 14 years. Still looks like new and we use it every day.
