First off, excellent value! The entire machine plus materials for a thousand buttons for $100, that was an insta-buy for me. I purchased this as an artist looking to make inexpensive buttons of my artwork, and this has been phenomenal. It took me a few test tries to get it right, but once I did, wow! It did come disassembled, so some assembly is required, but fortunately it's quite easy, and the only tools required are Allen wrenches, which are included as well. Overall, love this product!!
