The button maker itself is great quality and very easy to use. However, finding parts for this thing is very difficult and frustrating, especially if you are looking to make better quality buttons with metal backings. It took me several failed attempts to realize that it wasn't me not knowing what I was doing, but instead it was that this machine doesn't play well with better quality button pieces (even though they are the correct measurements). I recommend going with a different option for a button maker. Would have saved me a lot of time, money and frustration.
