We look at practical, verifiable details — cut lists, dimensions, skill level, pricing, and refund terms — rather than relying on marketing claims alone. When we can't verify something ourselves, we say so and attribute the claim to the seller. Affiliate commissions, when we earn them, don't change what we write. Read our full Editorial Policy.
