    I purchased the Slotted Flexible Pen Display Plastic Accessory Tray (4 pack). I have a wooden box with drawers that I am going to use them in. Great price for 4 trays so I ordered 2 sets. I can’t wait to get them.

    I’ve had only one bad product. It’s a pen blank that’s broken on the end. But still useable. Item# WXMP09X. Who ever packaged the order should have paid closer attention to what they was doing. Can’t imagine they would have shipped it knowingly.

    All aspects of the product and delivery were excellent. A pathway to instructions of how to turn the product (on a wood lathe) would have been helpful. Overall a very good product and quick delivery.

    Hlaving used the web site several times in the past previous answers from staff by phone made it easier to navigate. The only challenge in the past has been finding exact parts, such as bushings. Today I typed in the exact name for the bushings I needed, but a different product came up --- yet with the same bushing number. That caused a little hesitation before ordering. That given, this web site is still easy to use.

    The web portal was very easy to navigate and find exactly what I searched. I found it helpful that with each turning project, recommendations were presented to ensure that all the right tools are on hand to turn the final piece. Shipping was very fast, products packed well and received everything in great condition.

    Penn State has an excellent variety of products. Particularly like all the different pen kits and large selection of pen blanks. Usually have everything in stock but if out of stock doesn't take long to replenish. Delivery is always timely and have had no issues. Like the opportunity for Free shipping.
