The materials in the kit are of good quality. The brushes arent cheap or flimsy and the paint containers are a good size. I have tons left over for other projects. U would never be able to tell its painted on wood cuz it feels so real. I would highly recommend this kit if u have some ugly pieces youd like to spruce up. I didnt take a before pic but the cabinet before i painted it was the average white cabinet youd find in a rental bathroom. Also on the left hand top corner its darker than the rest but that was because the original cabinet was peeling so i probably shouldve peeled the rest of before starting but I didnt so thats why its slightly darker. All in all u wont be disappointed. Its user friendly theres no way u can mess this up lol. If I can do it u can do so just buy it 😉 Review: Looked great at first - I decided to try this kit on my kitchen table instead of the traditional sanding and straining route because I didn’t feel like standing outside in the cold sanding a table for hours. This kit had everything I needed in it except the polycrylic sealant (which I ordered separately from this brand as well). Overall the kit was very easy to use and I was able to knock the whole table out in a day. The only part where I had to divert from the instructions was using two coats of the light liquid wood base instead of one (some of the marker on the table was showing through with just one coat). I also used a hair dryer on the cool setting to speed up my process a little. The wood grain pattern making tool was easy to figure out after watching a video on YouTube. Honestly I have no complaints about this kit except my new overwhelming urge to paint everything like wood. It was easy to use and I would never guess that wasn’t the actual wood grain of the table if I hadn’t just been the one to paint it. My husband described the kit as witchcraft, which is accurate. UPDATE 3/2021: The polycrylic sealant from this company sucks so much. Hasn’t held up well to wear at all. The results are very pretty at first, but not durable enough for something high use like a kitchen table. Probably would have held up longer with a sealant from a different brand.
