I recently have gotten back into looming and have been using a fake Rainbow Loom to loom for a while. It's quite bad in quality, so I decided to hop onto amazon and pick up a real Rainbow Loom! When I received this in the mail today, I was very surprised! I didn't realize how much clearer the real Rainbow Loom was, and how it had a nice weight to it. The bases stay on properly without falling off, and the metal hook is great as I'm no longer nervous about breaking my hook while making a bracelet, however, the mini Rainbow Loom that the hook comes with does not fit on the hook properly. I am not able to properly put the hook into it, so I just placed my hook into my other mini Rainbow Loom from my Monster Tail. Perfect! Problem solved, however, it is still a bit inconvenient. Ignoring that, I absolutely love the kit! It comes with a bag of bands and some c-clips, as well as gift bags! The gift bags are delightful! They feel so professional, and the look of a bracelet inside of one is so satisfying! I may just buy some separate gift bags myself! All in all, this kit was great! No problems occurred, and the package arrived 4 days earlier than expected - no prime! Wow!
