No Complaints Here!!
I read the other buyer's comment. Most comments are valid; however, my reply to the negatives are: for the price what do you expect!! Great starter kit - gives the new photographer something to work with.

Would recommend If item was 50% Less as a Starter
First, let me share that the idea of the Kit is great; The idea of it.
The items I have concerns about via explorative discovery including built pieces (the stand and lights), are the problems.
Secondly, the Lighting Kit is a great idea BUT not full proof nor worth the amount of money requested. Sadly, this kit is poorly and unconvincingly crafted.
Reasons being:
1. The Light Stands are extremely flimsy (i.e. Wobbly) and can topple over at the blow of a 1-MPH wind.
2. The Carry-All bag, another fantastic idea within the kit but, lackluster material, the item is poorly constructed and has holes throughout the material of the bag including the seams. This item can and will most likely be useable (with all of the carrying contents in it), a few times before the holes and stitching become vulnerable and eventually tear. (See Attached Video)
3. The Reflectors on the website presents as if there are 5-Reflectors. Be forthright and openly disclose to the customer that there the item is a Reversible reflector, with one stand-alone diffuser. Show examples to permit people from rummaging through the box under the impression they are missing additional 4-Reflectors.
4. The Lighting Umbrellas are SMALLER than what is presented in the advertisement shots (See Attached photo). They are actually Carousel umbrellas. An item about the size of what a child would carry. Be forthright about this as your photos listed on the site indicate otherwise. The specs are so over inundated, share the true size to permit customers to make a uniformed decision.
a. White SMALL. Cheap martial and ornament. Not affixed properly. Has a hole. Will tear quicker upon each use; 3-4 times and then will have to replace. (See attached Photo)
b. Black and Gold SMALL. Cheap martial and ornament. Not Affixed properly.
c. Black and Silver SMALL. Cheap martial and ornament. Not Affixed Properly.
5. Backdrop Material
a. The Backdrop Material is terrible and unforgiving. (See attached Photo)
b. The Backdrop Material should be longer in height and width
c. The Backdrop Material should be rolled and shipped in a TUBE for immediate use.
d. The Backdrop material has creases in them from being folded, does not like being ironed nor placed in the dryer. Terrible material. Unable to use. (See attached Photo)
Mailing the Product:
Place stickers around the box displaying 'FRAGILE" in order for shipping to handle the parcel better.
Other than the aforementioned, I IDEA is great but poorly executed as it pertains to craftsmanship.
I was only permitted to upload 2-photos. Hopefully, they will be beneficial regarding your decision.
A Highly Disappointed Customer.

5.00 out of 5 stars reviewVerified Purchaser12/28/2019Great for starting up a small studio in basementI received this product well packaged and everything is in good condition. They are easy to assemble and everything can be setup in less than 30 mins. I put it in my basement to take pictures for my daughter's birthday and it turned out great! Really got better pictures with the those lights and added warmth in it.Elizabeth Green

5.00 out of 5 stars reviewVerified Purchaser12/28/2019Efficient for that priceThis product is very easy to set up. I had always wanted to have a soft light taking portrait indoor and this has provided me a perfect lighting tool in a very economical price. Also easy to handle due to its lightweight, very portable. Nice packaging.Bevis Middleton

1.00 out of 5 stars reviewVerified Purchaser10/22/2019Don't do it!You'll get what do you paid for. Cheap materials, the carrying bag was ripped apart along with the instructions. And the worst part returning this is being a nightmare because is from a third party and I didn't save the original packing.MrRed
