Misleading photos and unrealistic results - avoid!

I bought this for my daughter but after using it we both thought it was a complete rip off. First, the so-called "hammer" is a small toy hammer, more suitable for a 7-year-old child. There isn't enough power to make a deep impression as shown in the product photos. The stamp base is too small and because the rubber feet lift it off the work surface, each hammer blow causes it to vibrate, resulting in "ghost letters" due to small movements of the die between hammer blows. Additionally, some charms are stamped from stainless steel, which is too hard a material to create deep impressions with the hand tools provided. There are only 9 charms in the set, not enough for practice and poor paisley value for money in my opinion. Finally, straight, evenly aligned letters on product photos are misleading. These professional looking results cannot be achieved without the use of additional tools such as a stencil, template and clamps. Conclusion: While the quality of the kit is undeniable, the execution is terrible and raises unrealistic expectations with misleading photos, descriptions and instructions. Due to initial excitement and joy, using this set instead resulted in a disappointed father and frustrated child. I will return with regret.
