This product is a prime example of 'you get what you pay for'. The pen looks fine, although it is shorter and bulkier than depicted (due to the angle of the photos). The pens feel like cheap plastic, and the most annoying feature is that the caps do not seat firmly on the end while writing (they wobble and fall off easily). Also, the ink that comes with the pens is poor quality, if looks and writes as if it were mixed with water. I should have known better than to expect good quality for such a cheap price.

I was excited about this drawer, but quickly disappointed after opening and seeing how poor quality it really is. I guess you really do get what you pay for. Both the rack and the drawer are so flimsy they twist and flex with the slightest pressure or load. A pistol and a couple boxes of ammo will cause it to sag and snag.

The metal rack was twisted and bent on arrival so that the edges are 3/8-1/2 inch out of symmetry. I have tried to bend it but it is pretty springy, so I bent it a little more until it got brittle and snapped.

I was able to cut off the top part of the rack where it is supposed to go over the shelves and then screw the rack to the underside of the shelf to get it to work better. It does fine in holding the weight of some of my wife's jewelry and watches, but it can't handle ammo or precious metals.

I had bought 4 of these Casual Home Microsuede storage benches, and was disappointed with the quality, especially when compared to the FHE Group Microsuede one that we also got. While these have handles on the sides for easy moving, the overall construction is rather flimsy.

The side panels (or lip) of the lid are much shorter and not joined at the 4 corners (basically loose cardboard flaps that easily bend and crease), rendering it pretty much useless as a lid, as it is floppy and does not hold down well. I had initially thought the lid was torn/broken when I took it out of the package, but realized that all 4 were the same.

The foam padding on the lid is bevelled and does not extend all the way to the edge (you will notice it if you look closely at the picture), and the suede covering on it ruched up easily, whereas the other company's lid is tight and firm. There is a thin square piece of wooden plank supplied for the divider that had been sewn in the middle, but it will not really work as a pocket, as another reviewer had suggested, because it is not sealed at the bottom, meaning that when you put in the wooden insert, you will see it sticking out the bottom, as will any other items you try to put in the "pocket". The reason I give it 2 stars is because it does seem to support the weight it claims to (200 lbs), although I'm a bit wary about sitting on it, and yes, it provides storage space.

Overall, I would recommend the FHE Group ones for about the same price as you would pay for these, plus they offer more color selection, unless these are on special or if you need the Sage and Dark Brown color to match your home dcor. The FHE Group ones definitely look more aesthetically pleasing and high-end than these.

I ordered this easel to replace my older, broken metal easel. I read several reviews that espoused the greatness of this easel, but was really disappointed when I finally got it out of the box.

There are no instructions to tell you how to use the easel, so you just kind of have to figure out where everything goes and how it sits (not too difficult).

However, what really disappointed me was that this was shipped to me and when I got it, the bracket that holds your piece of work was crooked. So I attempted to make it straight (because i can't paint if the foundation is crooked as the piece will just slide off). When I did this, the wood on the backbone of the easel split!

So now the top bracket is busted. The nails that hold this piece of junk together are not very good (very akin to stapling wood). The wood itself is not all that great either if it split that easily.

Honestly, I really think that even for the 30 dollars I spent on it, I should have gotten a better product. Unfortunately, because I live overseas, I can't return it so I am stuck with a product that is sub par and useless.

Really disappointed, but you get what you pay for. The keyboard arrived. Although the space bar works, you have to press it at an exact location for it to work. It was very inconvenient.

I am disappointed with this product so far, which is unfortunate because the heating element and battery pack, by themselves, seem to work fairly well.

First, I wish I had listened to the negative reviews on this site that warned of the male-plug design defect.  One of my plugs is half-broken after a single day of use (see photo below), and I only skied about 3 hours.  I attached the battery to the outside of my power strap, as recommended, so I don't think the male plug came into contact with the chairlift or my other boot.  I did not have any falls or collisions.  Instead, I think the pull of my ski pants against the plug was enough to bend and almost break the plug.  It will only be a matter of time until it breaks completely.  Then the problem will not only be the cost of replacing it, but the hassle of having to set it up inside my boot again.

The simple fact is that the plug is defectively designed.  Leaving a weak plastic plug exposed where anything and everything can come into contact it is a recipe for disaster, so it's not surprising that so many people are having problems with it.  One way to fix it would be to make the battery pack about 3/4 inch taller so that the the plug could be fully inserted into the top and be protected from abrasion on all sides.  For now, I've used epoxy to attach a small carabiner to the battery back in the hope of creating a shield to protect the plug from further damage.  I don't know if it it will work, but I'll post an update if it does.

Second, when I took off my boots at the end of the day, one of the battery packs (the one on the opposite side from the damaged plug) fell on the ground in the parking lot.  The clip that holds the battery pack onto the boot is a spring-tension type of clip, and it's not strong enough to reliably hold the pack onto the boot.  This clip should be designed so that it can be locked into place so there's no chance of it coming off during use.

Third, the product requires you to cut a hole into your boot liner, and into your footbed.  That's not ideal for the longevity of those parts of your boot, but hopefully the holes will not grow too much bigger over time.

On the plus side, the system is fairly easy to set up.  It takes about 30 minutes if you follow the instruction video on Youtube.  The heating element also seems to work as advertised.  My toes stayed warm with the power level set at 2 out of 4.  The battery pack also is very intuitive to use -- the buttons and lights are easy to operate and understand, and seems to last about as long as they suggest.

Overall, I would not recommend buying this product until the company fixes the issues with the male-plug and the clip.  Once they do, it should be a fairly good product for keeping your feet warm.

Not the best quality, but you get what you paid for!

Online it looks really cool, but I was disappointed when I opened it to see how cheap it really was.  Some of the color was already rubbing off, and the edges had those plastic burrs, not clean cut and smooth like you'd expect.  I feel like this might be something you find hanging by the register at the dollar store.  I don't know how this will proect my phone from anything.  It'll do until I can find a better quality case for my phone, then it will go in the garbage.  Bummer, it had such a cool design...

Don't expect it to go on well....you get what you pay for.

Not what I expected appears to be a cheap knockoff

Was pretty disappointed in this to be honest.  The buttons on the front, one of them just ended up falling into the casing.  The lighting behind the screen is just two little LEDs that stopped working completely, and the mosaic spinner spun a couple of times when I took it out of the box and now doesn't spin anymore.  The little handheld scanner really doesn't do much of anything other then be a color changing little LED, which I feel kinda let down with, doesn't even make a sound which would have been nice.  The little scanner could have at least have been under a opaque white plastic to diffuse the light, but no, it's just a hole in the end with a visible LED.  Not very happy at all.  I've only had this for a week and already it's fallen apart and quite honestly I'm pretty dissatisfied with something that I paid good money for.  Very unhappy with this!

Knowing that I would get what I paid for, I was still disappointed in this product. Clamp very cheaply constructed, will not hold on anything bigger around than 1" and still the umbrella part is too heavy to stay up straight if the arm is bent for an angle. Fabric very thin - I'm waiting for it to tear even though I am very careful when using it. I tried using it on a Step 2 plastic wagon and not only was the clamp not big enough, the surface was too slick for it to hold even on the skinnier plastic part. If you want cheap for on a metal chair, go for it. If you want something better, pay a little more.

Well, there's an old saying: You get what you pay for.  And, honestly, this is a perfect example of that.

I can't really be angry, seeing as I payed all of $2 for it.  But the fact remains that the case I got simply does not work.

I could stand it being plain and maybe the openings being slightly off, but the case will not close completely.  Either it is malformed or the product line as a whole is badly made.  Either way a case that does not close is not a good product regardless of the price.

The only minor credit I can give is that it is only in one corner that the case will not close and the other connection points seem firm (although I dare not give it a proper drop test).  The plastic also seems fairly resonable, so if one happens to get one of these that works, then it could be a good simple case.  But the one I got is not.

I'm disappointed in the knife, and Kershaw in general. The photos are not particularly accurate - the handle is more brightly teal in person than compared to the photos, and feels very brittle and cheaply molded. My knife had a substantial burr of plastic sticking out on the locking mechanism that I had to shave away before I could even close the knife without it cutting into my finger. I would have liked this better if the handles were slightly rubberized.

The blade itself is okay - it's sharp, but nothing stunningly so. Paper does not slice cleanly out of the box, and so to achieve the razor sharpness, a run through another sharpener would be required.

I decided to return the knife back after only a day; this knife is not up to par with Kershaw's usual quality. I have a Ken Onion and Skyline to my name, and they are much better quality than the Shuffle. Then again, this blade is under $20, so I understand that corners had to be cut. But I'd much rather had paid a bit more money for better scales than to be disappointed in this.

I thought I was getting a great deal, but this is a lesson in "you get what you pay for." I'm glad I didn't spend $50 or more like I saw others going for, but am still disappointed with the quality of these goggles.
First, the pros:
1. They look nice
2. They're very light weight (more on why below)
3. They're a great price

Now, the cons:
1. Plastic, plastic, and more plastic. The frame is thin, lightweight plastic. The only metal on this item are the piece that attaches the elastic band to the frame, and the piece between the eyes.
2. Very thin plastic lenses. I would not recommend these for riding as I'm afraid the first pebble or large bug you catch is likely to break the lens.
3. No venting. I tried them on and was fogging up the inside within about two minutes. And that was indoors. There's no way you'll be able to see through these if riding on a sub-80 degree day.
4. Uncomfortable fit. The goggles are too close together, and too far down your nose.
5. Padding. It's an uncomfortable, wrinkly mess, loosely sewn stitched to the plastic frames.

Bottom line: these are pretty useless for stated use (riding any motorized conveyance). They'd make a nice display piece, prop in a play, or child's toy, but that's about all I'd use them for.

We bought these when they were $29.99; they've since gone up to $39.99.  At $30, we didn't expect them to be super high quality, but even with low expectations we were disappointed.

There is nowhere on the original packaging that states that these are Egyptian cotton. There are several descriptions of the cotton and thread count, but the only reference to Egyptian is a sticker that was stuck on the outside of the package.

We ordered ivory, expecting the sheets to be off-white, maybe even with a very slight yellow hue. Instead, these sheets are peach colored. Washing them in hot with just a little bleach took out some of the color, but they still have the light rosy tint.

The stitching on the edges is crooked. Not a huge deal, especially as long as they stay stitched, but it certainly doesn't shout out quality.

Overall, we were very disappointed, even though we knew we were paying less than many others. I would feel even more ripped off if I had bought at the current price.
