Good pads, terrible box

What I like: - the book is thicker than expected and has great ideas - pads of good quality; They are hollow and therefore light but not flimsy. I can't imagine them breaking without some serious force. This set has a good amount of each size (1, 10, 100, 1000). I would like another unit for 1000 but if that becomes a real problem they will be sold separately. What I don't like: - I was very disappointed that the blocks don't really fit in the storage box that they come in. Seriously, what is this? 100 flats are only suitable lying flat and even then the lid does not close because the 1000 cube is too big. Now I need to buy another box to store this set. I prefer to buy the cheaper set without the box since I have to buy the box now anyway. Also, now I have to try and find a new home for this box so it doesn't end up in a landfill. This is very frustrating.

Pros
  • practical item
Cons
  • communication with the seller
