I was so disappointed
If you are a young girl making bracelets for your friends, these beads are fine. I needed the beads for part of my Christmas gift ornaments. There are too few vowels. It made it so frustrating to try to spell more than a few words. As if that wasn't bad enough, when I found letters I needed they were off center or in other ways not usable. Now I have a bunch of letters I will never use. Know any 10 year olds who might like them?

Good, but one issue
The beads themselves are great! I love the colors. But some of them were only half a bead, making them unusable. I'm also not sure if I got all of the letters.

Nice colors but some were broken :(
I'm not one to hand count so I couldn't tell you if I actually got 340 beads, but you can expect to get more/less of some letters than others in a random set like this. My complaint is that several of the beads were damaged and broken, some to the point that I can't even use them without them falling off the string. This was a bit concerning, but at least the majority of the beads were fine and I love the color assortment.

My bag had only 312 beads, not 340!
My bag contains 312 total beads instead of the advertised 340 (a fact that I only just realized as I counted them for this review, so I will lower my rating from 5 stars to 1!).
Here's the review I had written before finding out that I'm short 28 beads:
I'm making ID bracelets for 18" dolls. These beads look pretty big on their little wrists, but they still look cute.
With this set of beads I was able to make 7 of the doll names as single-color bracelets. I made 4 more doll bracelets with a similar-color mix (light/dark purple, light/dark pink, yellow/orange). I wasn't able to make any of the names with rainbow-order beads, but I suppose that depends on the name you're making and your luck with the random mix of letters and colors. My bag has a high number of Q, Z, and X beads, but they don't dramatically outnumber common letters like other bead sets I've tried. My mix included 55 vowels and 22 hearts.
The set also comes with some beads printed with a heart. I used these to fill in the bracelets, since it takes 11 of these beads to make a bracelet for a doll this size, 12 if you don't want any elastic showing, and the names I'm making aren't that long. I did need to use additional beads since the 22 hearts in my bag weren't enough for what I needed. My bag's heart colors were 5 green, 5 light blue, 1 dark blue, 1 dark purple, 3 light purple, 1 light pink, 3 dark pink, 2 orange, and 1 yellow.
Here's the list of the number of beads of each letter that were in my bag, listed by letter frequency order in English words according to Oxford Dictionary:
E-15;
A-13;
R-16;
I-11;
O-13;
T-16;
N-14;
S-6;
L-12;
C-12;
U-1;
D-12;
P-12;
M-8;
H-9;
G-16;
B-8;
F-13;
Y-2;
W-15;
K-13;
V-7;
X-15;
Z-12;
J-7;
Q-12
And here is the list of letters by frequency in this bag of beads:
16 G, R, T beads; 15 E, W, X beads; 14 N beads; 13 A, F, K, O beads; 12 C, D, L, P, Q, Z beads; 11 I beads; 9 H beads; 8 B, M beads; 7 J, V beads; 6 S beads; 2 Y beads, 1 U bead.
Vowel count:
13 A beads; 15 E beads; 11 I beads; 13 O beads; 1 U bead; 2 Y beads.

Not all letters in every color
Warning, not all letters are in every color. You MUST mix and match to spell out some things. Like if you wanted all orange to spell your name, not all of the letters come in orange.
Furthermore, look at this package. 360 beads and I see at least 7 X's. X is the 3rd least used letter in English. By actual percent usage, this should only be on X.
The more these companies stuff these bags with letters you don't want, the harder it is to find the ones you do. And you have to buy more bags to do so. Which is their scam.
At least if you have to buy more packages because of this, buy from a cheaper site.
