Easy to use
Great for school weaving lessons. They are not super smooth so I would not recommend using with delicate weaving materials.

Great Looms for students or anyone!!
These are amazing. I teach at a small school grades 3,4, and 5 and my students loved these. They weaved Tapestry’s and they weaved little hand bags etc… There were a 3 looms out of 24 that had some rough edges but my nail file cleaned up the edges in a few minutes. They work so well. They are completely amazing. I even purchase more so that the entire school could weave next year. I love these. Beats making cardboard looms that can only be used once. My students even asked if they could keep the looms. We will be purchasing even more soon. Incredible deal for the price. I recommend these to anyone wanting to learn how to weave on a simple loom.

Broke
Bought these to use in my classroom and was very disappointed when the little notches at the bottom started to break off.

Other than that they were good for the purpose of weaving
Some of the boards came chipped. Other than that they were good for the purpose of weaving!

Good but not great. Missing instruction!
1) These wooden looms are slightly better than the cardboard looms. However, the corners still break easily in the hand of young students.2) the instruction shown here was not included with the looms!

Balsa wood is stronger than this stuff. The cuts are very ragged & had to be sanded before we could use them.
