The price on the kit is a great. However, my complaint about the kit is that the package looked like it had been run over by a truck, and several pieces were cracked. I was able to glue them back together.
While this is great full kit with everything needed to start a hive, I wouldn't recommend for a first time beekeeper because it came with no instructions or nails. And the joints don't easily fit together as hives from other places do, so I can see where it would fustrate someone who didn't already know how they go together.
