More important than appearance, but the function should be. And here is the set for me proves a flop. I sweep on parquet and tiles on and I have to say, this makes no real fun, even if the part's kinda pretty. Cause for me the broom. It naturally takes him a little different than a traditional broom and I have got used to make a diagonal towards me pushing motion of the wrist to get the dirt on the shovel. This also works with the coarse dirt, with hair, wood shavings, crumbs. But when it comes down to business, then denied this hand tool. It's always the fine dust that is left and you do not get on the shovel around the croak. Because you can push 20, 30 or 40 times, there is always something on the ground. Basically, the examiner has only to take a damp patch or sweeping scales and dust under the carpet or the cabinet. But who wants that? And the whole point is indeed not. If I take the good ol 'brush with horsehair, then the dustpan works perfectly. The problem is the broom.
The most important question: Would I buy the sweeping set again or recommend to buy? Unfortunately, I have personally in both cases, "No!" say. But it's pretty.
