Very nice quality as expected from Le Creuset.  A lovely combination for gifting.

Excellent starter set for the price. You'd be hard-pressed to find a better option in the price range with higher quality and so many included clubs. Having a full set of irons, two hybrids, as well as both a pitching and sand wedge sealed the deal for me. The very classy bag includes ample pockets and a rain cover, which is a wonderful enhancement. With such a solid starter set, I can upgrade gear as my game improves [gradually].

This set is absolutely beautiful!!  My granddaughter's name is Wren, so I love finding things with wrens.  The picture is so pretty--beautiful color scheme and 3 perfect little wrens!  I also ordered the little door/wall hanging, the wall hooks and the canvas pillow.  They are all fabulous!  Another use for these might be to select a plain cup or glass, and put the sleeve on and use it as a pen/pencil holder.  I will say that the picture on the can sleeves is not quite as clear and bright as on the other items, but it may just be the nature of the stretchy fabric.  Still nice, and I'm glad I bought them.  I think you'll be happy with them too!

This is a wonderful set of knives for those starting a new kitchen, upgrading their kitchen or buying for a second kitchen (boat, RV, cottage).  Featuring  high quality full-tang knives from their Classic line, this set contains a 6" chef's knife, a 4.5" utility knife, a 3.5" paring knife, a pair of kitchen shears and a compact wood knife block.

Until now, most starter sets were either 2 or 3 piece sets of an 8" chef's knife plus a 3.5" paring knife or a large block of 12 assorted knives.  This set happily sits in the middle ground where it provides what is used the most often in a kitchen: prep knives, a chef's knife and a good pair of kitchen shears all compactly stored in a slim block.

I find that I use the 6" chef's knife from this set more than my 8" and if I need to cut something large (such as a watermelon) I go for my 10" chef's knife as the 8" is really too small for big tasks and too big for smaller tasks.  Sadly, the wood block included in this set will not hold a 10" chef's knife in the slot of the 6" but will barely hold an 8".

This Wusthof 5-piece set is available in 2 handle styles, the Classic and the Gourmet.  As to which one is better, depends on the size and shape of your hand.  It's a good idea to go a kitchen shop to try the grip.

This set is highly recommended as it contains the 4 most used tools in my kitchen.  Additional items I'd recommend would be an offset serrated bread knife and a Santoku if you do a lot of Asian food prep.

Beautiful set for an unbelievable price.  I ordered it for my own birthday present (along with a few other things:D) and just love it!  Also arrived very quickly and with a cute thank you note from the seller.  Love that personal touch!

This is an amazing set for a novice artist, one who is just starting out or is a hobbyist!  My teen really enjoyed this set and has used it for hours upon hours..ahh sweet silence!  Replaced the "game box thingy" as a priority!!

A great deal for the crochet kit especially for a beginner. The crochet hooks feel very comfortable to hold and work with. I wish the crochet hooks had their US size them also, but they only have the mm size. That is ok, but I am spoiled to the convenience of having it there. The row counter is nice too. The case is full so it will not hold other items. I think it would make a very nice gift also.

I recommend this set and the price was right also. I was not disappointed.

This arrived promptly and it is a very pretty set.  I gave it as a gift to my step daughter.  The only downfall is there is no instructions (in english at least) on what any of it is and what to do with the various items.  It will be a learning experience for her, for sure.

A wonderful set that serves a great starter for a burgeoning matcha lover like myself; this set has created a wonderful morning tradition for me now. I hope to have mastered the Tea Ceremony with these simple implements by the end of the year, and then will probably progress to more refined (expensive) ones.

Being a beginner I wanted a set that was inexpensive so I can learn what each pencil does beforedroppvign a ton of money on pencils. So far I am really happy with the set. Its really perfect for a beginner like me. Pencils, coal, easers, sharpener... It really had everything I need. Great quality set!

This set is far more beautiful than expected. I was just looking for something to match the color scheme in my daughter's kitchen, but when they arrived I was so impressed. The individual jars are a bit larger than I'd thought ( but I'd never actually checked their dimensions). The ceramic is thicker and a little sturdier than I'd expected. And the color is absolutely stunning. If they didn't specifically match my daughter's kitchen, I would keep them myself....which I am very tempted to do. If I  "re-do" my own kitchen any time soon, I may go back and see what other colors they offer. I'm quite pleased. I think my daughter will be, too.

I got a few of these sets for gifts, they are a great set for beginners and kids.

Excellent starter set! My first time committing to stainless steel and I have not had any issues! I followed other reviewers advice and purchased the Bar Keepers Friend-- you can also buy that at Target. Great quality for a great price!

I got this set for my daughter - newly interested in beading and a beginner beader - for her 11th birthday. She loves it and it has all the tools she needs to get started.

This is a great little kit! I have absolutely no jewelry making experience, but I've always wanted to try it--I will be given it a shot over the summer. I'm sure my grand-daughter will enjoy it, too. This seems to include a good assortment of tools, and the quality certainly seems to be sufficient for the casual hobbyist. I like the little case to keep them all corralled...although a few of the longer wires & such poke out just a bit (I don't want to bend them to force them to fit perfectly). I do think caution should be urged if anyone is planning to purchase this for kids to use, however--some of the tools are quite sharp and operating them likely takes a certain level of skill/control so I imagine this would be best for teens & up? The beading tray is fairly large & nicely detailed w/several channels for lining up the beads--easy to select and line up the beads; it seems a bit too light-weight to hold up well for very long, however, but I am sure it will be fine for beginners such as myself. I received this item at a reduced price in exchange for my honest review. I am pleased with my purchase, and I think this jewelry making kit is well worth the $25.99 price--I am sure it would cost much more to buy all of the pieces individually, and this seems to have everything needed to get started. I would definitely consider repurchasing for myself or as a gift for a friend or family member.

We purchased this set from Academy on sale for $69.99. So far, we are very pleased with the set.

pros:
Affordable
Easy to assemble
Attractive
Great starter set up
Quality craftsmanship for the price

Cons:
It's in the small size. That's great for my husband and I because we are petite people. Anyone taller than about 5'9" would find this set less appealing
The spring collars that came with it are difficult to use. I went and purchased nicer ones and I'm much happier.
