I am a beginner in knitting. I didn't want metal because I wasn't sure I wanted the seams to come apart. It's definitely better in that regard. However, they are long for a beginner knitting a scarf - I did not think about it. I would go for shorter ones if you are a beginner and want a scarf or hat to work flat. I was disappointed with the clutch and did a little research. Beeswax (I had some for another purpose) or another worked VERY well to make them slippery enough but not too slippery. Much better after I've done that. They are straight, even, with no pieces to cling to your yarn. They're light and quiet - so overall I'm happy. I ordered metal now, as there is more experience, it will be interesting to compare.
