My kids are so excited for their specimen box!
My kids new favorite hobby (and maybe mine too). The box was as expected, not super sturdy (plexiglass even came cracked but being replaced easily), but over very happy with the value. The box came with pins and a foam board inside. A very fun way to learn about bugs with my kids. They are so unbelievably excited, hunting for more dead bugs to put inside. A great gift idea. Definitely recommend.

Great first collection box w/pins
This is a great display box for beginning collectors. I bought it for my husband and the grandchildren to use to display the many dead (yes, dead) "bugs" they collect on their walks. We have a home in the Sierra, and there is a constant supply of dead and dying insects to pick up, mount on pins, and display. The glass light shades on the ceiling fixtures of our home are also a great source of pinning material. The kids are learning the names of the major groups of insects and reading about their roles in the natural world and in agriculture. Highly recommend. Quick delivery and great packing.

Overpriced but looks nice
The Plexiglas window is flimsy and scratches easily, but the rest of the box is constructed well enough. It's overpriced for what it is but I liked that it came in blue and I didn't have to hunt down a box and pins and foam board separately. I'm a new tarantula owner and when she surprised me with a molt a couple weeks into living with me I made a last minute decision to preserve the shed exoskeleton. This worked perfectly for that purpose.

Great kit for beginners
I use this as my desk collection at work, too many pest reports come in and it is not as described. Beetles are not roaches, webs without spiders are not black widows. Having a display case is helpful.

Plastic top, not glass, quality is to be expected for the price
I bought this primarily to use for a decorative insect display, not a scientific one. The foam appears to be good quality, and so do the pins. The wood is light weight (probably balsa,) and is painted black, so you'll have to prevet black flecks from getting in the display. The box is not built and cut to have a fitted lid like a typical entomology display box, it's cut straight through. The hinges and are a little flimsy, but I don't plan to open it again. I might even seal it shut since the lid isn't fitted (it's decorative, but I still don't want my specimens and display to soil or decay.) What I'm actually upset about, is that the description says the lid has a clear glass top. It's not glass, it's thick plastic, it's scratched, and it's fixed to the lid like a picture frame. You get what you pay for, though, and I'll make it work. I'm just going to cut and fix my own glass piece to it. I think this would be better suited as a jewelry box rather than an entomolgy display. I'm sure it'd be good for kids just getting into insects, or trying it out, but not for someone taking it seriously. I'll dish out the extra money for a professionally built case next time.

Been useful
We are using this box for butterflies. We buy the caterpillars and watch them transform before our eyes. We had one that wouldn't leave the butterfly container and wanted to be with my daughter, so we kept him and fed him everyday. He survived longer than 3 weeks. We have put him in this box for memories and hopefully we will add to this collection this coming summer.

Bent, scratched, and very disappointing.
The entire product feels cheap and flimsy. I could have begrudgingly looked past that if it wasn't for the fact that the plastic window was totally messed up! The plastic was bent and scratched on either side. I will definitely be returning this as soon as I can. Edit: I thought about it more and I know this will likely be put in a landfill if I return it. I'm just going to buy some replacement plexiglass to fix it instead, as the rest of the box was... adequate. I do not recommend purchasing this product.

Excellent box!
My praying mantis looks lovely in this display case. Couldn't have asked for a better size or kit!

Cat jumped on it and cracked the top. Son states it needs silicon to seal from destructive bugs from getting in

Médiocre
Qualité médiocre. Petit bois très cheap. En plus, uniquement mis dans une enveloppe pour la livraison, même pas de boîte. Résultats, il est arrivée brisé. Et en fessant le retour, il inscrive "emballer l'article soigneusement dans une boîte" ..... Risible. Il devrait exiger la même chose des commerçants!
