1 controlled cabinet, the machine was broken in the box, the second replacement box, the machine broke after a few days. As for elastic, certainly they seem good and there are a good variety but impossible to know whether or not they contain phthalates. As my 8 year old boy was taken from a real passion for these small elastic and made all kinds of small creations, I find that this issue is important. So, I ordered the real rainbow loom which I know elastics are phthalate-free and strongest machine. The suitcase on it is convenient to store everything. It's good for kids who are in occasionally and doing simple things, but for a child like mine who spends much time and which actually has a passion, which puts a lot of elastic on the machine and manipulates in every sense, it is worth taking the original, and the strength of the loom, and the certainty that her child manipulates elastic phthalate-free and therefore safe. Amazon thank you for the opportunity to return the item, and 2 times at that. This allowed me to invest in rainbow loom.
