This is SO cute!!!,

This review is from: The Mini Pressed Flower Kit (Hardcover)
I first picked this up as a gift for my niece--now I've bought them for all the kids I know. They're perfect little presents. The press really does work, even though it is tiny. You can't go wrong with this one.

Doesn't meet minimum quality standards,

This review is from: The Mini Pressed Flower Kit (Hardcover)
There wasn't any expectation that this would be an expensive or high quality flower press by any means, but unfortunately it can't even technically function.
The blotting papers and cardboard were cut too large to fit into the press between the screws without being put in at an angle. Two of the wing nuts went on fine, but two wouldn't twist on. I tried supporting the screw with a screwdriver while I turned the nut, thinking it might help get past its stuck point and then make it easier to twist on. I was pretty surprised when the entire nut just broke in half. It was from my hand pressure alone... it's not even like I was gripping it with any big, crazy tools. I tried putting on the second nut and it cracked and split, nearly to the point of falling off, and without even being fully twisted onto the screw yet. If I want to give this to my daughter, I'll need to go to the hardware store and buy new screws and nuts first. It kind of defeats the purpose of ordering one, however. If I had wanted to go to the hardware store, I would have gone there in the first place and made it myself. While I give the press points for being a cute, mini size that's handy for small children, the manufacture of this press is simply not passable and I'd worry that someone else might have the same problem. I'd have to say that I wouldn't recommend this press to anyone else.

The mini flower press kit was just that, mini. It was part of a gift which included several items for pressed flower arranging so it was ok but again I stress, it is really small.
