My set came in absolute perfect condition. I was hesitant after reading other reviews but I took a chance anyway, and I'm glad I did! The beads were organized, and they feel super nice. I also love the container, it feels sturdy and unlikely to pop open at random. You can continue to use it for beads or anything else you'd like, so that's a plus. I recomened cobeads, i will be from them again, amazing website.
