Quality was low, some pieces were mis-aligned by the gluing process, and the cost, was extremely high for such a product.  One of the swords was bent beyond return from the way it was forced into the box packaging (seem like they were lose items, and then amazon just shoved them into to a shipping box). The toddlers that we had procured these for enjoyed them, and as toddlers they didn't take notice to the flaws - all just fun and games to them.
