Would recommend, but with slight reservation
It doesn't look as nice as the photo selling it, but if you are patient, it can be a good purchase. I bought some ribbon that didn't have spools, and for this to work effectively, the ribbon needs to be on a spool that fits the 'tinker toy-like' stick inside it. Overall, it was OK, but like I said, if you can figure out how to make it work for you, it'd be good. I did like the ease with which I could carry it to other places for cropping, though...
