I design, make, and sell jewelry for a living.  Some of the jewelry I make is crocheted, requiring a button to be used as part of the clasp.  I purchased this item thinking I'd have a nice supply of miscellaneous buttons to use for clasps.

Boy, was I wrong.

Most of the buttons I received were filthy.  Many were scratched up and had chips missing from them, showing signs of obvious wear.  I even received several that had BRAND NAMES on them.  If I had used a button with a brand name on it for any of my jewelry pieces, I'd have been putting myself in a position to be sued for copyright infringement, along with other trademark-related crimes.

After sorting through the buttons, my hands were so covered in dust, dirt, and filth from the buttons themselves, I had to scrub them with soap and hot water.  I promptly placed all the buttons back into the bucket and hit up a customer service representative to set up a return.  I was disgusted that Amazon would send out such a disgusting product (as my order WAS through Amazon directly).  Thankfully, the customer service rep handled the situation very well.  I wouldn't recommend wasting your money if you want to actually use these in crafting apparel or jewelry.  Or if you plan on receiving new buttons.  Or clean buttons.  Or anything of even marginal quality.
