It's big. It's HEAVY and you definitely need a spot to work on. It's easy to assemble with the booklet but making the actual buttons is impossible to understand. But very easy to do once you figure it out! You just put tge mooth metal face up in the left side, your design face up on it, then a plastic sheet, slide that bad boy under the cruncher, crunch it (it should dissapear from the left side and be inside the cruncher), put the backing pin squiggly side up in the right side, slide that baby under the middle, crunch it a bit harder, then slide it out and tada! Button! It's so fun putting art, stickers, and random trinkets in there! I'll be buying different sizes sometime in the future for sure!
