No one seems to have reviewed the origami set, so here goes. I really benefitted from this, as I'm graduating from just playing around to trying more complicated/difficult models. The top benefit of this set is the tools it comes with. Both the larger bone folder, (which IS large, it's 21 cm long) and the smaller one have an impressive heft and good feel to them. I don't know if they're actually bone, but even if not they have a nice quality feel to them and are really nice to use. The scoring tool has two small balls which are all you really need, and that plus any straightedge helps tremendously with geometric models. The book is a good introduction, with info on the various bases and folding instructions. It also has a nice variety of models to try, not a lot but a good variety, from a standard crane but also some kusudama and some geometric models. I actually found that the cube version of its "winged sonobe" is one of the most stable, best-fitting unit-based model I've done so far. It comes with some 15cm and 19cm paper, 5 of the latter of which have a nice gold on their patterns. The paper itself isn't anything special, pretty thick for origami paper and the paper feel is sort of rough not sheeny like some better papers out there. Overall, my only real complaint it comes in a kind of cardboard kit, which is nice except that the book is permanently fastened to it. The smaller papers are in a pouch on the flap of the kit, the bigger ones in a pouch in the back of the book, and the tools in a holder at the top. But the back of the book is fully glued to the kit box, so I may have to keep the whole construct, or risk ruining the book. Other than that, I thought this set was worth the price and am glad I got it.

Do you have the type of ADHD that requires you to constantly fold any paper item that you have in your hand without even thinking about it? Put that awesome ability to good use! This was a perfect Christmas gift and so much fun!

The book was ok. It is not removable so that is not great. The tools are perfect. Huge fan of the tools!

I got this book for my son, he loves doing the origamis. It’s easy to follow the instructions given. It’s a good quality. It’s worth your money. It has a plenty origami design, very creative. Good size.

The short instructional book along with the tools are very helpful! It definitely helped me as I have arthritis in my fingers and am not as nimble as I used to be.

The instructions make sense, and I was able to complete the projects for which I have everything. The paper is pretty and easy to work with. The tools are easy to use and good enough quality, especially considering the overall price. The description is very clear about what is in the kit, but what’s included is not everything you need to complete each of the projects. The kusudama projects requires pegs and glue, which are not in the kit. The winged sonobe also requires pegs and thirty sheets of the same size paper, the kit includes 20 of the small size. The jumping frog requires a rectangle but the kit only has square paper. You could easily cut to size, but 3/8 are not plug and play as advertised.

I was trying to learn from various YouTube videos and was doing ok. This definitely took things to the next level. The tools are fantastic! I am now able to do way more complex designs than I could ever have done before. A great purchase.

Awful. Don't buy. The picture makes it look like this will be a nice, hardcover book set. This is deceptive. It's basically a 20-page pamphlet glued to a cardboard box to make it look like a bigger book. I paid $30 for this, and I'm definitely returning.
