Picked up the pad for my wife - Staples had a buy one get one half off deal. Unfortunately they only had one pad in the store... Other than that the pad is fine so the 3-star rating is less for the pad than for the lack of ability to get the better deal.
I got home and opened it at tithe beads were falling out of a hole that was covered by the cardboard. I thought it was strange that it was behind the bigger versions but I needed the smaller one.
