Cheap Fox Run 10-Inch Plate Stand, Black

Fox Run 10-Inch Plate Stand, Black
Customer Ratings: 4.5 stars
Buy Now
I just received the plate stand and it is not symmetric--one side is longer, so it does not stay up straight.

It looked as I was expecting, and was a good price, but the quality is not there. I could not count on this rickety plate stand to hold anything of value as I am sure it will tip complete over once there is weight on it.

I hope I can get a refund but I am not pleased with the quality of this product.

I ordered wooden plate holders, I got wooden plate holders. Not much to review. You stand them up, put your plates on them and voila. Good product for the price.

I had two collectable plates that I needed stands for and was able to find these through Amazon. They were really priced right and great quality. Plus they came quickly and were packaged well.

Honest reviews on Fox Run 10-Inch Plate Stand, Black

I bought this to display a fancy cutting board in my kitchen.

However, the stand wont stand up on its own.

And even when I put the cutting board on it, it still closes and then collapses.

I tried putting a cook book on the stand, with the same results -failure!

I wouldn't recommend wasting your money on this one.

I looked at a number of different wooden plate stand and this one is good for the value. It's not cheap and thin like some of the other available on the market. You pay for what you get.

I bought this kit after I purchased the other 9 piece jewelry kit from Beadaholique. Even though it costs a bit more, it is well worth it. These handles are way more comfortable. While I am using these the hours just fly by and I dont realize how long I have been beading for because my hands never get tired or cramped. I love these tools and I love the versatility of each piece.

I price shopped the tools online and in stores. If you buy the tools separately then you pay more money. Amazon had the best price for the best kit. These tools are great for those starting out, it has everything you need if you want to bead or make jewelry. I just want to bead for now. The case is handy to keep the tools together and to carry around.

Finally these tools felt very good in my hands. I noticed I needed to buy a second pliers because my hands could not hold the wire on both ends for very long. I bought the same brand pliers but not Ergonomic for more money in a store. Wow, I could tell the difference. The ergonomic Beadsmith pliers were much easier to hold than the regular Beadsmith pliers. I highly recommend getting the ergonomic tool kit, especially if your hands get tired fast like mine.

Best Deals for Beadsmith 9 Piece Ergonomic Tool Kit Pliers / Jewelry

This kit has some great tools for making and fixing jewelry, but I wouldn't say that it is necessarily ergonomic. I bought it specifically because my hand and arm began to experience pain from my first set of pliers and it was a disappointment to realize that these were no better than the set I was trying to replace.

The only difference between these tools and the first set I bought was that this variety is much more useful. The included tools are good choices. Ergonomic, notsomuch.

I went to home depot and looked at the pliers. I found some really good pliers for when I have to cut metal and can't use my dremel. The heavy duty pliers are more ergonomic. The smaller the tool, the more strain you will place on your own hand. That's been my recent experience.

Honest reviews on Beadsmith 9 Piece Ergonomic Tool Kit Pliers / Jewelry

I am a beginning beader. I just started to make jewelry so I do not know a lot yet. But what I do know is that this set has made it a lot easier for me in my jewelry making. The tools are smaller and fit in my hand quite comfortably. I like the kit best because the tools stay organized and I know where each specific tool is when I first open it.

I am very happy I purchased these & feel the price was good. They were well worth it.

The quality is what I was looking for, I don't want to have to replace tools, these will hold up.

I like the compact black case, keeps them all together, very nice case for very nice tools.

I have arthritis in my hands & am happy that the tools seem to work with very little pressure or effort, quite comfortable.

Also the cutters are very sharp & the edges very well approximated....no gaps what so ever.

No sense using cheap tools when you are trying to do something...these are a "buy".

These are larger than I expected. I would have liked a small brush for detail work. Given that it is a set you would think they would include the basics needed for painting like a still life or whatever. Other then that they seem to be fine, they arrived on time were in new condition and all that jazz.

Some of the colors are wonderful. They are thick, but spreadable, have great color saturation, and lots of sparkle.

Other colors (orange, black, and blue) are SUPER runny and have little, if any, color or sparkle. All three of these colors are primarily the liquid in which the paint and glitter should be suspended. Even shaking them to mix them well doesn't help at all. The colors remain runny without any real color or glitter.

Still other colors (one of the greens and the gold) are so thick that they cannot be spread well at all.

Overall, I am very disappointed in this product. I suppose I will stick with Folk Art Extreme Glitter, which is a FAR superior paint to these Martha Stewart paints.

I love all the Martha Stewart Glitter Paints. I paint on t-shirts and they make the designs really standout. The only problem is, I want more colors now! They hold up well after having been washed. Because I use other acrylic paints, some are used for screen printing that I do with my Yudu Machine, I always heat press them once they are dry. Martha's glitter paints keep their shine. Once in awhile, I might add a little more after heat pressing, to get that extra sparkle. I can't wait to get more colors!

The company that designed this obviously talked to users. With two temperatures, a generous assortment of tips for various uses, a nicely designed rest for the hot iron, and a bold purple color, this craft iron will impress anybody who does stenciling work. I highly recommend the craft iron. Even more, I highly recommend this package, which if every piece included were purchased separately, would cost twice what the package does. You get stencil sheets, a generous roll of masking tape, a tracing pen, the craft iron, and a self-healing board spectacular combo.

List Price: $17.25
Sale Price: $12.29

These are colorful and cool pens. I purchased the set of 8 manga gray and black pens, which are GREAT for inking, they come in varieties of gray from light to dark and some are "warm grays" and some "cold grays for awesome vareity, and black comes in a brush tip, a medium m tip, and a thin or s tip. I also bought the shonen coloring pens. As for the kaoiro brush pens, they come with one of the warm gray pens also included in the 8 manga pens set I mentioned (it's no big deal for me having a double of one color, just a thought).

You can't really put one color over another to make a new color with these. They are great on various types of paper, but I haven't figured out how to blend them. Some artists suggest quickly wiping a brush of water over the colored area to blend the marker lines together, but I haven't tried that. That is to say, they leave seams between lines, and they're brush tipped, so it's like a flexible marker that you have to learn to use well. The seams don't show as much once you get some confidence after practicing their use, especially if you plan to scan your art into the computer and blur the colored area a bit with photoshop (although, it might not even show so much when you reduce your art by 30% or whatever for posting). I have this fanart of knuckles the echidna i did on a takeout menu at work in front of me, and people who know Sonic the Hedhehog characters know that they are really colorful. Knuckles looks really great with the colors I used from this set and the shonen manga marker set and parts inked from the 8 manga pen set. The colors are really vibrant, but like I said, don't run one over another, leave blank spaces for other darker or lighter colors to be. I haven't used these with watercolors like it's recommended in the product description, and I haven't fully explored combining them with other media like photoshop, colored pencils, crayons, etc, although I want to, so keep that in mind with this review!

You should get a set of these, the 8 manga set, and the shonen or shoujo set because just one set isn't fun. They are extremely cheap for their quality and with free shipping too. Sometimes you can get a better deal on for these pens, and utrecht also sells them in their stores and offers a lot of crazy promotions all the time when you sign up to the mailing list, and gives you a 30% discount or something when you show them that you're an art school student with an ID, so try to combine free shipping, promotions, and your student discount to get the best deal on supplies like this.

The black ink pens have an unattractive "bleed" into low quality paper, but you really need expensive bristol board or canson fanboy paper for serious inking anyway. Like I said, the fanart I did on Knuckles on this crappy takeout menu paper looks vibrant and clear and doesn't run through the paper onto the other side, even as a mix of colored and ink pens was used on it. They're high quality pens! I want to learn to use them for webcomics and illustration projects, some people on deviantart make really interesting illustrations with pitt artist pens combined with digital media.

I bought this to create a faux wood grain facade on my part of my exterior wall facing the road.

Upon receiving it, I practised it on several old plywood sheets( which I've white washed earlier).

You definitely need lots of practise in order to be able to create a releastic pattern.

I found that this tool is hampered by its small size. If you use this to paint a small area( eg.a single door)you should be able to get a pretty good , realistic results( provided you practise first ).I suggest you practise on the stroking & rocking motion to know what action produces what effect.

Since then I've painted several doors . For more instructions, I suggest you checkout the several good sites on Youtube.

Fiskars - Self Healing Rotary Cutting Mat Review

I received this mat yesterday and when I took a close look at it, noticed the sticker saying "This product contains chemicals known to the state of California to cause cancer, birth defects, and/or reproductive harm". I have no idea what they're referring to, and as the other reviewer stated, the mat has a really strong rubbery/chemical smell. The smell alone turns me off.

***I came back to edit my review. I called the company and asked them about the sticker, and they explained that the sticker was added to ALL Fiskars products once Prop 65 passed in CA. Until they were able to chemically analyze all of their products, the sticker was introduced to comply with the proposition, in case they were to find any carcinogenic components in their products. They assured me that all of their products passed the necessary tests and were found to have NO carcinogenic materials in them, and that many products being sold today still have that sticker on them. I can't verify their statements, but the customer service representative said that it is a common question and that Fiskars realizes the concern the stickers can cause.

So I've been using my mat, and I love it. It's great and the rubbery smell went away in a day or so once it was placed on a table.

This mat is incredible. It has held up to my rotary cutting without a blemish yet. The size is fantastic, and I'm thrilled that it's double-sided for twice the life. That dreaded self-healing rotary mat odor wears off quickly, which is better than some other brands that linger much longer. The angled markings are also great, particularly for bias cutting or other quilt peice shapes. This mat is just so great, and an incredible upgrade for anyone struggling to make a smaller mat work.

Honest reviews on Fiskars - Self Healing Rotary Cutting Mat

I had several of these cutting boards over the past few years. They wore out VERY quickly and if you read the fine print you find out why... they state they are for "rotary cutters only". Using craft knives on them destroys them in short order.

Not so with the Alvin boards. MUCH, MUCH better quality and so much more durable you will not believe the difference. You will go through a dozen Fiskars boards before needing to replace the Alvin, it is that large a difference when using craft knives.

This cutting mat is one of the best I have used. It does have a smell but that will dissipate with time I did not have any issues with the product it self. The one issue I did have was that is was shipped rolled up. That meant that I had to lay it out in the sun to warm and flatten. I can't tell you how annoying this was. After I received it I happened to look at my local Wal-mart and for the same price I could have bought one that was flat. It only took two days for it to flatten back out but Amazon really needs to learn not to bend these when shipping.

I bought 3 panels of this for a nook inside my daughters closet, i figured it would be great set up for a reading space or as shes becoming a tween just an overall I want to be alone with my thoughts space. They turned out great and work great HOWEVER... nothing major but two of the panels are great and the last one just does not want to stick and keeps falling down.. its not a huge deal at all i plan on buying some extra double sided tape at the store for this and it will be good as new, I thought it might be the textured walls because it really needs you to go over it multiple times to make sure it sticks but It did work on the side wall no problem so it just must be that one panel wasnt sticky enough. If your getting this for textured walls get some double stick tape just in case the panel you get isnt sticky enough other than that its a GREAT product and once I reinforce that one panel its going to be amazing in her room
