ILLUCKAI 12 Sheets Clear Transparent Fusible Stained Glass Sheets 96 COE, 4 x 6 inch Fused Glass Supplies for Glass Fusing Crafts Stained Glass Projects and Mosaic Artwork

Received quickly. A nice variety of colors; exactly what I wanted. Excellent packaging. Definitely would recommend.

Like other reviewers of the various glass packs, I'm relatively new to stained glass. I purchased this pack (the classic colors) because it was the most cost-effective option to get the tiny amount of beige I needed for my project. If you're looking for beige, you know it's hard to find (online anyway) without going to the major glass houses and spending a fortune. This sheet is the perfect shade, and I also have acquired a solid supply of opaque black and white for future small projects. The neutrals included are also nice colors. I was a little disappointed that all of my black was completely opaque. There was no promise of any level of transparency, but there are some sheets you can see the stand through in the picture, so I was hopeful because I don't have much transparent black. Some has an amber-like tonality to it though, so that's kind of neat having a "warm" black. I was highly impressed with the packing. The exterior box had a gouge hole in it, so I took pics of the box and held my breath as I opened it, only to find everything inside safe and intact due to the incredible packaging. The seller does an amazing job of making sure this makes it to you in the same condition it was when they packed it.WITH THAT SAID, humor me while I geek out for a moment. This glass is clearly labeled as fusible. I don't fuse. I lead. I am noticing that fusible glass does tend to come with more imperfections and while I may not be incredibly knowledgeable on the differences between fusible and not fusible at this point, the color of these sheets seems to be a little on the dull side (COE glass in general, not just this product). That makes sense to me since ultimately it's designed to be melted, so I guess for us noobs we can consider it half baked. The imperfections I'm assuming aren't a big deal if you're going to melt it down again, and it's designed to look it's best after another melting. What this means for traditional artists is this glass isn't really designed with us in mind. Sure, we can cut it, we can use it in our work and it's fine, but it's not GREAT and is definitely suited for small pieces. I certainly would not buy this for using even 2X2 squares in a project unless I wanted a flawed or rustic look.Now, on to this specific purchase and manufacturing. Country of origin matters if you're trying to sell your work. This is an idea that just "clicked" with me when I discovered that one of my white sheets literally has a hair in the surface of the glass. Am I bothered? Not really. It's more amusing than anything because I bought this intending to use it in small projects. I'm actually debating whether or not I should buy another pack just to have the beige on hand. For whatever reason, I just thought of these packs as being from people who bought from the major glass houses and broke the sheets down for a profit (If you've got the time and the money, there's the idea, you're welcome....just don't go crazy like those folks on that crafting marketplace we've all been to). The country of origin has actually caught my attention many times, but it didn't strike me as something that mattered. I don't care where you come from if you're selling something I need at a better price than what I can obtain elsewhere. The price difference isn't THAT far off what you'd pay for a lot of domestic glass so I can't just attribute this to getting what you pay for, but the standards are different in manufacturing from place to place and when it comes to glass, if you need a flawless project, invest in the larger sheets from a domestic glass supplier. Some of the quality issues are indeed because of the type of glass, but on the whole, if you compare this to some of the same products from the popular American brands, there is a clear difference in quality.Overall, I'm happy with my purchase. I just felt like this is the information I would have like to have seen while I was wrestling with whether or not to buy this. Again, it's great for small pieces or anything where imperfections lend character. There are gouges, there are scratches, the back side has a much more "rough" finish (like it's just poured and left to level on its own instead of sent through a roller...no clue if I'm right about that) and it's just not "perfect". I haven't cut any yet, and will update if the imperfections make this a pain, but as of now, I expect it to be okay. I imagine that other reviewers definitely would have mentioned it if it cuts poorly, but some of the variation in texture does have me curious about how well it's going to break.All in all, it's a good purchase as long as you know what you're buying. I hope this helps someone. There are a lot of people saying "You get what you pay for" and "Don't be tempted to buy off-brand glass", but nobody says why. If you're learning and you're like me, you need to know why before you take this random advice to heart. Quite frankly, despite the limitations of the product, I'm ridiculously excited that I got this beige without having to spend $100 (including shipping) on one color.

Nice collection for a good price for the quantity. Well packaged.

Good quality, perfect for my crafting needs.

These came very well packaged, & all made it without getting broken. They are nice thick pieces of stained glass, & appear to be high quality. The colors are true to the picture.
