Review on Pepperel Pounder Assorted Approximately Standard by Jose Smith

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Pretty crappy, but most can still be used.

PROS: >There are just over 750 pom poms in the package (at least one of the two pom poms I bought which I counted and sorted by color, the other package looks VERY similar) . > There is a good range of colors including three speckled colors that would make cute animals. The total number of flowers in one package is 25 including tinsel. CONS: > Most of them are not very well made and fall apart easily. Shown are those half one size and the other half a different size and shaggy. There are at least 50 or 60 of these. In the enlarged image you can see how uneven the large pom poms are (the largest in the bags are about 2 inches) and the large pom poms come apart very easily - the center tie is not tight at all .> There were six 2 inch white pompoms. Tinsel pom-poms that pull the tinsel right out - but of course, that's how most tinsel pom-poms pull. Because tinsel can kill a pet that swallows it, avoid giving your cats tinsel pompoms to play with. flowers) and they are all small - only 4 inches, the rest are much smaller. None of these are enough to really make a difference. > Some of the other colors are very small and not all sizes are shown for most colors. > Most sizes are 1 inch or smaller. "I will not buy them again. What is in the bag in no way reflects the image they have as the "type" of pom poms. I was mainly expecting stronger, better made pom poms, not these silky crappy pieces. Are they still usable? Sure, but only for applications where you glue them fairly tightly or else you can expect them to tear. I won't be making an even amount of each color or multiples of each size of each color received, But if the only photo of the manufacturer shows the bag, which is obviously mainly made of a more durable type of pom poms, I expect that. Style and material of the pom poms are also random, not just size and color, then the seller/ Show manufacturers 4 or 5 pics that represent all the possible types of mixes you can expect YES I checked the photos and reviews from other buyers and decided to roll the dice as the good guys beat the sch light predominate. Will I never know how to take this risk? ;-) The bottom line is that I think a lot of these pom poms are "second hand" and "rejected" that this company gets from several pom pom makers and they misrepresent what they say with their single photo can expect.

Pros
  • Very good price
Cons
  • Approximately
