I really love the quality of the materials sent, including the tool kit. Everything was packaged nicely and delivered promptly, THROUGH the nonsense with the tariffs! Opening the kit was so exciting. :) I felt very prepared to make my first ronghua! But I found that I struggled a lot with the process of brushing out the silk even after following the tutorials--it always snagged and looked so, so ugly--so even though the kit itself is high quality, I wasn't able to understand the process enough to complete it. So, my low rating isn't really about the product you're purchasing on this page, but about the support available from Lansei for total beginners. I'm probably going to continue trying to figure out where I'm going wrong at the brushing stage, and then I'll reorder the kit to try it again.
ETA: After I posted this review, Lansei reached out to me and directed me to a livestream where they'll be doing a detailed brushing tutorial! I'm really pleased with the responsiveness from Lansei and am hopeful that I will finally figure out the silk brushing--will update this review further after my next attempt!
ETA: I have SUCCESSFULLY produced ronghua flowers after the livestream, which was very helpful and thoughtful! I can wholeheartedly recommend this product & the company's support. I'm leaving the original review text up so folks can see that Lansei is very professional and helpful. :D
