Reviews play a huge part in my order. In fact, about 90% percent of my decision making when ordering online relies on the reviews of a product. I ordered these softbox lights regardless of people's poor reviews. & I am SO glad I did! This will be the longest review I've ever written, but some things need to be said about these lights!*First of all, people said that they need to be weighted down, that they tip easy.That is NOT true. I realized after having them up for 5 minutes, that you need to expand the legs as far as they can go & tighten the knob. I won't lie and say that was cake, because I had to push and pull them pretty hard! But they are not top heavy at all now. My 3 year old has been messing with them since I put them up and they are as stable as can be! No accidents and I honestly don't see any possible way these things could ever tip.*Second of all, people say they were hard to put together. They aren't. I had them both up in ten minutes. Go ahead and throw away the instructions, they are useless. It's simple.Let me explain-first you take out the light stands. Expand as hard as you can, as open as they will go && tighten the knobs!Then you're going to take out the foil soft box. Go ahead and put that over the light stand with the small square hole towards the floor.Then get your light piece (the one with the light bulbs go into) Unscrew the little knobs, take the little black cap off of the light stand top (and throw it away), put it on, screw it on so its stable. Boom. That's done.Then you're going to take your rods, put one on each side of the light piece top. Once that's done, pull up your foil box and put the rods in the little black Velcro pockets. Boom, it's secure.Do the same thing for the bottom two rods.Then screw in your light bulbs & attach your little white sheets.It really wasn't hard at all, I don't know what these people are talking about... There are even YouTube videos on how to assemble these haha, just go to YouTube and search the brand name!I will also add that this fabric is really durable! I was shocked, I was expecting like a thing plastic type material.So, now I'm sure you're wondering how the lighting looks. Well, AMAZING. I was expecting them to be this bright and this incredible. I already did a test for video and photo and it's just gorgeous. I will be using these lights for video purpose mainly. Couldn't be happier with my purchase. Honestly, if you're thinking of buying these, just do it. They aren't what all these people said they were. They deserve more credit! I wish I wasn't so nervous about their arrival, cause they are so much more than I thought they'd be.Once I start making videos, I will do an updated review (if Amazon will let me) and I'll attach a link of my video for your reference. They really are gorgeous! That's the end of my rant. I'm not even going to mention the price because these exceed their cost! I personally feel they are up there with more expensive lighting.Xoxo
