It's good

Honestly, for the money I expected more. I was thrilled with customer service though and that goes a long way with me.

Okay box- good customer service

Not a very exciting project. Could have benefited from more stencils (pictures and inspirational phrases), dye colors other than just blue, and the addition of beads, tubes, etc. to make the macramé portion of the project less boring. Not sure if I am going to keep my subscription after receiving this type of project. It didn’t seem like much thought was put into it.
UPDATE: Seller explained why there were no extras in this kit and offered a replacement kit since I was not very happy with this one. Updated my review accordingly. Very responsible and responsive company.

Not that great

It took me almost 2 weeks to get a crate I paid for a month prior. That is why I cancelled it. And it was just making candles. I was hoping for something a little more interesting.

Ticky-tacky
Feb 04, 2022

the idea of making a tray with resin with pressed flowers seems a little kitshy-tacky. The resin treatment to the cutting board a while ago was fun. Maybe a resin bracelet that one could customize? I can't see myself displaying this in my home!

Sorry, but this was not what I was expecting. For me not a revelation protect so it would just become junk to get rid of. .

Fun idea, but was disappointed that the materials seem kinda cheap. Also I thought there was going to be materials for us to each make our own project together. Only my first box, but cancelling anyways. I feel I can spend less at a craft store and be happier.

Some good and some not for the price

The latest box was disappointing. I have a year membership to Adults and Crafts and has been a mixed bag of likes and dislikes for the crafts I have been sent. I understand you can't please everyone but my latest box was "coloring", not even close to worth it for the price that box cost.
Not impressed

Not really what I had expected. I hope next month is more along the lines of a craft rather than magic markers and some pictures to color in

Kit lacks originality and creativity
Sep 08, 2021
Katherine C.
My freelance artist daughter came across your subscription service and thought it would be a great idea for us to do this together. She knows that I've been looking to do more creative things. So, I subscribed to receive two boxes for three months.
This was the first delivery. It's a box of watercolor paint markers and pages, cards, etc. to color. Given that the market is and has been flooded with these types of coloring books for years, I think there was a lack of creativity and originality that went into curating this. Overall, I'm very disappointed.
I had hoped for something like wood burning, mosaics, and similar unique crafts. I am hopeful that the next two will be much better!

customer service is great
Aug 09, 2021

This item came defective, however the company responded right away and stated they would send a replacement as well as an extra item for our inconvenience. This was awesome for a small company. The craft was more for a child in my opinion but I guess some adults are beginners and this would be for them. I will stay with them for now to see a couple more boxes before making a final decision. But the customer service is spot on.

I thought it would be something a little more then just basically a box with painted cutouts. Hoping next one is much better.

Great Subscription

I always wanted to try an acrylic pour. Now I have the opportunity. Very good quality products and a fun activity. What more could I ask for? This is a great craft subscription to try. For someone who purchases art supplies,, this product is well worth the cost.. Thank you.

Damaged but being remedied
Jun 03, 2021
Rebecca L.
Update: The seller did try contacting me several times and shipped replacements for the broken items. Excellent customer service. Now just hoping there won't be issues and that my mom enjoys the craft.
I sent this box for my mom because she loves crafting but a couple pieces in the box were damaged and I contacted the seller and still haven’t gotten a response.

Room for Improvement
Jun 02, 2021
Knight H.
Okay service overall. Only speaking from six months of experience, but there was too much painting and not enough crafting. More importantly, the included component quality and project design was often lackluster, and it made for childish projects that you did not feel like keeping in your home. I think the subscription would make a great gift for an artistic pre-teen, and I could imagine the kid proudly filling their room with the projects, but it was not great for the intended audience.
6/19 Update (was 2, now 3 stars): While I stand by everything I originally said in my review, I am updating my review to acknowledge the owner’s level of concern for customer feedback and exceptional customer service. After I left my review, the owner followed up with me to ask about why I was unhappy and specifically what I thought needed improvement. He wanted examples and seemed genuinely interested in receiving the critical feedback. Kudos to the owner for taking reviews to heart and reaching out to dissatisfied customers to try and make things right.

Macrame plant hanger
May 13, 2021

I received a macrame plant hanger kit. It was cute. Macrame is not one of my favorite crafts.
It would have been nice if multiple colors of paint for the wood frame could have been sent instead of just black.

True customer service

I do not have a crafty gene in my body and I was looking to learn. When my first box arrived it was very clear this was not for me. I spoke with CrateJoy, explained my situation and within hours of my initial contact with them my money was refunded.
I would suggest you give them a try and if you’re dissatisfied they quickly resolve or refund your purchase......it made me feel valued and they were actually very easy to work with.
And I’ll go a step further and say I am leaning towards giving them a second try

Overall not what I was hoping for in the geod coaster. Owner reached out and set me up w an alternate box. I'm excited to get another Adults and Crafts box. Lots of really neat diy projects on their site.

This is an edit from my last review. Kevin and his team really went out of their way to remedy my issues. They made sure through email to let me know how this happened and even supplied the tracking numbers. Kevin also keep track of this shipment and let me know when it was delivered. Thank you for making me feel that you all were on top of taking care of this issue. Chance Ellis

Misleading Shipping Info
Feb 05, 2021
Jacob P.
Shipping took a very long time. It was not clear that it wouldn’t ship until January 20th. When I purchased the box it gave me the option to choose when it would ship and I chose the end of December. I would have done earlier if I knew it wouldn’t ship for over a month
