These are well made and work well. I almost returned them, though, because the first time I used them I just couldn't get used to how it felt stitching with a frame (as opposed to holding the linen in my hands). I gave them a second chance on a smaller project, and I am really liking them. I use the smaller pieces - I'm not sure I would ever need the larger pieces for cross stitch since I don't have a floor frame.<br /><br />As reviewers mentioned, the PVC tubes are very tight to begin with, but they do get easier to put on and take off over time. The first few times I tried to take them off, I thought I was going to lose a fingernail, but I used a small screwdriver to help me pry them off. Now that I have put them on and taken them off about 20 times, they are a little easier to work with.
