All the fun and games until there are 22,000 beads on the floor

I'm an elementary school teacher and my students can't get enough of their Melty beads after school. I had children under my care aged 4 who liked them. With Melty Beads, children can let their imaginations run wild! They love to make their own pets, figurines, superheroes, keychains, pins, necklaces, pendants, jewelry, fake coins, etc. Every day they find new uses for their creations. They're even considering selling their creations at a table outside to raise money for COVID patients. I even have my own Melty Bead box at home to relieve stress. Since March I have ordered three cases from this list. One thing I've noticed over the months is a quality change in the locking system on the carry case. Latches do not work properly. Halfway through the crate, what happens if one or both of the pearl boxes detach and fall down? As a result, 22,000 pre-sorted beads are scattered on the floor. It has happened once to my students and once to me and it is DISASTERS. The real definition of insanity is letting it happen, collecting and sorting beads by color for several hours, and then it happens AGAIN. The second time, one of the pearl boxes ripped through the fall and now has a huge hole. in this. I don't like teaching my students how to throw away plastic, so I'm going to cover the hole with clear tape and go back to it. But even children are already beginning to lose interest in taking the box off the shelf. No 7YO wants to feel responsible for picking 22,000 pearls ahead of his peers. I've seen small improvements with this list over the months, so I'm sure they'll take the feedback into account (I'd change my rating to 5 stars if that happens). Anyway, I'll probably keep ordering this offer because it still makes a big difference to what's on offer. No 7YO wants to feel responsible for picking 22,000 pearls ahead of his peers.
