Loved this. Can't wait to try out their date boxes

No instructions included. Very disappointed.

First I want to say I did receive this kit for evaluation but this will not influence my review.This kit is really awesome. Not sure I'll call it a date night activity, but definitely noteworthy fun with the kids.The kit comes with the following:* 2 Boards* 2 Hammers* Nails* 6 patterns templates (box says there are only 4, likely because they give you 6 patters but there is only enough space on the boards to do 4 of them (front and back).* 10 bundles of color string (of which white is twice)* 6 color photos of the finish product. This is likely what they considered the instructionsSo the good thing about the kit is fun to assemble, make your own color patterns, etc. The one issue is the instructions are nonexistent. They have the photo of what you're doing but no instructions on where to start of what pattern to loop as. The photo is clear enough to kind of get an idea but it it is really up to the builder how to go about stringing everything.The boards are a very nice color but you can tell it is soft type of wood.The hammers are plastic except the head where they pit some metal. It was good enough, but a real hammer would be nicer.Here are my interpretation of what the steps would be:1. Select the board you want to use.2. Select the stencil you wish to build. Tape it to the board.3. Hammer the nails through the center of each dot.4. Remove the stencil (note you could possibly slide it off if you want to keep the stencil, or do a variation and using the stencil draw the dots on the board by poking holes though the stencil in to the board and then nail the nails in afterwards.5. Pick the color of string, tie one end a nail and start your pattern wrapping it or zigzagging between the nails. Tie the ending to the final nail.6. Repeat with different colors if applicable.Even though the instructions were nonexistent, I still gave it high marks because it was fun building with my daughter. This is a kit I would buy if I were not vine tester. Enjoy!

Sooooooo if you aren’t into winging it you should listen to the other reviews unlike me.. it came with everything but the instructions even though it says full instructions included. I got this for a date night and slightly panicked when there were no instructions but we made the best of it and winged it and very much like our creations.

When I ordered I thought there would be enough boards for all of the patterns, but then realized it just has two boards. Can only be used for one couple and one date night. Was hoping to be able to have three couples or multiple date nights.

Super disappointed. Got this as a gift for a friend out of state, they opened it and said no nails or instructions were included. And given it’s a string art kit - nails and instructions I would imagine are somewhat essential. They’re also questioning if there is enough string for each design to be done- but since there’s no instructions, who’s to say.

My wife and I really wanted to like these it seemed like a really neat date night idea or some thing we could easily do with our young daughter for fun for full disclosure I imagine this is a lot of fun and honestly our main issue is easily remedied but it just felt like having made the purchase waiting for them to arrive and so on it was just a bit more disappointing.Our kit was missing two hammers. Again a simple run to the hardware store would’ve remedied this however I guess in my mind when buying one of these kits it should include all parts needed if I’m running to the hardware store for hammers I might as well run to the craft store for nails string and wood and simply print designs online to follow I’m sure this is wonderful fun and I’m confident that many people have enjoyed it this is just my experience so as such we returned it promptly.

This kit comes with everything all the way down to the small hammers. My 10 year old learned how to do this at school, so she was excited for the kit. I just wish it came with more than 2 boards because you get more of the stencils, but you just need more boards so you can do all of them.
