Nice Look, Hard to Work With

Edit - It looks like I received "Vvivid8" instead of the "XPO" shown in the photo. Vvivid8 is thicker with a black adhesive and XPO is much thinner with a silver backing.

This is the hardest-to-stretch vinyl I've ever used. I suppose it's the thickness of the air-release adhesive, but it was very hard to form around curves and indentations. It looks great once it's on, but the adhesive is just not strong enough to hold on in tight spaces or if you have a stretched area close to an edge.

It is beautiful, but the hardest thing I've ever put together ... not complicated, hard.  The light arms attach with the nuts already on the wire, inside the globe ... which you can't get your fingers into easily.  If the nuts were machined correctly, it would be much easier.  All but one tried to mis-thread. Finally used vice-grip, needle nose pliers to hold the nut, since it had to be forced.  Nearly 8 hours, and MUCH !@#$%^&*( (patience).
The other arms, which had the nuts on them already, went easier, but still very difficult.  Threading the crystal globes on the end had the same problem with burrs, making it very difficult to get started - 3 of the globes had to be reglued because of the force required.

Loved the look of the case, and it is sturdy, but you need special tools or knowledge to get this on and off with ease.  If I had either, it probably would've been great!

I love the look of this (like any other potter fan).  The application method they sent for this was a pain and I ended up having to use tweezers to get the letters moved.

Really adds a custom look and looks  sweet but installation was a little harder than I thought. The next one should be easier since I learned some tricks on the way. Here's some pics of the finished product.

These things are a bit of a pain to install. The metal is a little too maluable, in my opinion. The instructions are lacking, very much. They look great, once installed, and after being molded by hand for about an hour. Even though difficult, ill still give em a 4 out of 5.

Very pretty, but not as easy to crochet with as other brands.  Had to make some adjustments to my crochet to make it work but comes out beautifully.

They look great but are sort of a pain to install. You have to drill multiple size holes and then caulk the bolts in. They also put some of the directions on the back of the drill pattern which is annoying. Be sure to have a drill and bits in a variety of sizes, white caulk, and wet paper towels handy. No idea how we will get them out when we need to repaint the pillars in a few years.

They turn out really cool looking.

A lot of patience is required to put them together. Much more intricate than we were expecting.

This hutch, as well as the matching corner desk, look beautiful when assembled.  My husband and I each purchased a set, and it took a day per complete desk for assembly.  The furniture is extremely heavy, and it was hard to get the hutch on the desk.  The finish on these pieces scratches easily, so make sure to prepare for that while building it.  We had to do partial assembly on top of the desk, and had to use a couple of beach towels to protect the surfaces.  Also, some creative engineering was needed to put the final piece into place in the corner, they were so heavy!!!  We love the end results, but are dreading having to move them!!!

A real pain to put on, but looks great.  The bolts do not line up, so plan on drilling.  Oh, pay attention to your gas tank.  Put a piece of wood in between the frame and the gas tank.  What should have taken 1 hour to install turned into a 4 hour project.  I'm happy with the end result, but not the quality out of the box.

Very hard to work with. I gave it to a colleague and he liked it, but I couldn't work with it.

This is the first cross-stitching kit that I ever bought and I admit that the designs are very pretty and the materials are of good quality. After figuring out how to assemble the stockings, they look great.
However, there were a few problems that I had:
1) My needle broke half way through the project;
2) I got double the light green floss and half of the green floss and, of course, I already ran out of green, which is essential for Christmas themes. Maybe it is just my kit, but it is a great inconvenience;
3) The instructions for assembling the stockings are rather vague. I figured them out after some thought and, at the end, they didn't work well for me. I ended up stitching rather than gluing all the pieces together and, I think, the result is great. It takes extra work though;
4) Polyester fiberfill and cardboard (which you will need) are not included. However, there is extra white floss to make the cording loops (and instructions how to make them).
Overall, these are great designs (some better than others), but getting to the final result is very time consuming and requires some extra effort and skill.

Well built but tough to get together straight and solid.

Once installed, this robe hook has an attractive contemporary look. It is getting to that point that is the hassle. the included hardware is flimsy and it is tricky getting the hook in the base. I used my own screws and once it was done I looked the look and performance. 3.5 stars.

They look great and work well but when i had to reverse the cylinder it was a major job.  I come from a carpentry background and it was tough and frustrating even for me to get the handle re-assembled.  The pin that holds everything in place was very hard to work with.

The numbers look great. The problem is that not one of the screw mounting holes on the back of the numbers is straight making installation very difficult. Not one of the mounting screws aligned with the template so I had to make my own. The template alignment was off no less than 1/4 inch on each number. Installation into concrete block was also difficult since each screw went off at a different angle making it hard to get all three into their holes. It took some pounding on the screws to help straighten them. It might not have been so difficult on wood because it's more forgiving.
