Let me start by saying, this 8-piece Valentine's Day Diamond Art Coaster Kit is the perfect blend of creativity and functionality. As someone who loves DIY projects but often struggles with complicated crafts, I was pleasantly surprised by how approachable this kit is.

The quality immediately impressed me - the thickened acrylic coasters feel sturdy in hand, and the cork bases provide excellent grip. After completing my first coaster (the adorable gnome design), I tested it under a sweating glass, and it performed beautifully without any slipping.

What really stands out is how therapeutic the diamond application process is. The numbered system makes it foolproof - even my 9-year-old niece could follow along when she joined me for a crafting afternoon. We loved watching our kitchen table transform into a sparkling workshop as we worked through different designs.

The included tools are decent quality, though I did find myself wishing for an extra diamond pen when crafting with friends. The diamond tray's ridges help tremendously with sorting those tiny resin pieces - no more chasing runaway diamonds across the table!

My only minor complaint? Some of the adhesive areas could be slightly larger for easier application. But once sealed with the included coating (a step you shouldn't skip!), our creations have maintained their sparkle through multiple washes.

These make fantastic gifts - I've already gifted two sets to friends who saw mine and demanded their own. The romantic Valentine's themes add festive charm to any home decor while being subtle enough to use year-round. At this price point for eight coasters plus all supplies, it's an absolute steal for craft lovers.
