Perfect Stix - WED120-50 Wooden Lollipops and Cake Dowel Rod, 1/4 Diameter x 12 Length (Pack of 50)

I bought these to make a thread holder on pegboard, and it worked great. These are very strong, not soft wood.

Perfect size and width for the scroll invitation that Im making for my daughters birthday. I am using this together with the rounded dowel caps.

The Good: I bought them for kids crafts, and they are fine for that. The Bad: Only 47 dowels arrived. The description says 50. I needed 50 for the craft.

Ordered 50, only received 48. Also 2 rods were really curved, not straight.

Great value and sturdy product.

These dowel rods are thinner than a pencil. I was not expecting them to be that thin. The picture gave you the idea they was fatter.

Most of these dowels are not straight! In the bag there didn’t appear to be any issues but when I had to start cutting them most tended to be bowed just enough to end up as kindling.

I disagree with reviewers who say these are straight. If I pull one out and look down it’s length, nearly all of them have a slight curve.

If you are looking for rods that are not bowed, look elsewhere. Other than that great product.

I bought these to laser engrave so I needed them to be straight, and they are all significantly curved. Im sure they would still work in lots of situations, but if you need them to be truly straight, do not order these.
