After reading a few reviews on similar products, I was a bit worried, but it was unnecessary. The item arrived very fast, nothing was missing or defective.As for the item itself, well, I personally haven't used them yet, but my mother did. And her response was good overall. It was light, smooth gliding for her projects (she was using cotton/microfiber, acrylic, and cotton yarns), while provided good friction. She liked these needles a lot.

They look good. They're not as smooth to touch as say Clover brand needles. The bigger sizes are much smoother then the smaller sizes. I haven't used them yet, but few rubs with waxed paper and they should be fine.The smaller sizes are more susceptible to having rough points. I cast on a sock yarn hat on US 2 (2.75mm) needles and was transferring it to the DPNs when the yarn caught on a rough spot on the needle. While rubbing the needle to try to find the spot and in hopes of smoothing it down, a piece of the needle broke off in my hand. The point is ruined. There's no way to use such a small needle that's missing a piece of the point. Looking at the rest of the set, one of the needles had a huge piece missing. It was about a third of the length of the needle. I'm left with three usable needles out of five.
Bottom Line: For the larger sizes, these shouldn't be a problem. For the smaller sizes, I have a feeling they're likely to be little used or used only until I find the time to buy better quality needles.
