Very simple, but stout design. The solid pieces of steel create a good heft and balance. The handles are fairly comfortable and would be easy to add some padded wrap to if you like. They came sharpened enough to do their job well. I've used them on a Tillandsia, a Anthurium, a Stevia plant, African violets, and a Money Tree. The shears have made good clean cuts on all these plants.
Another reviewer stated they had to keep them oiled or they would rust. Well yes that's what you must do to even the highest quality steel unless it is true stainless steel. The steel quality of these shears is more than sufficient for many years of service.
Only two notes on potential problems/dislikes. First is the blade size of the smaller shears seems a bit large for it's intended reaching in purpose, but it has worked thus far for me. Just something to note. Second is the pivot pins are hammered in rather than being some form of bolt or screw. There is a potential for problems here. As they wear the only way to tighten is to hammer some more which takes a fine touch to not over hammer. And if they should need replaced then they would need to be cut off or ground down for removal.
For the super cheap price there should be no serious complaints here! If you want higher quality shears, go pay them. These are inexpensive, serviceable, and simple.

The shears are of good quality, however, they are quite large.. You can fit four fingers inside of the stubby one.
