Don't waste money!

How much I hate her, let me count the ways. We bought them on the recommendation of a blog to paint our kitchen cabinets. Big mistake. First, I didn't know they needed a special thick new roller. So I had to order these. Secondly, they are not intended for anything other than simple small jobs. If they have creases or corners, like most closet doors and interiors, they won't work. The end of this roll-up cover is not bent or usable like many small ones. It's flat plastic. That means I scrape the paint off of what I just made if I get too close to the edge. Third, when I wrapped it in slick foil to protect it from the next coat, after an hour it stopped rolling to absorb the paint, and incidentally didn't even move. (I've done this many times and never had a problem with other covers!) So I tried to throw it away. This was number 4. Be prepared to get covered in paint as it won't come off the roller easily. We ended up buying Sherwin Williams 4 inch mohair blend roller covers and what a relief. Well, that's something I highly recommend.

Pros
  • Made in the USA
Cons
