5th February, 2025 Single Spinning Home of Poi Dapo Star Disappointed, print is on one side only "As the title says, I'm disappointed in this, as only one side is printed. Many tricks show both sides of the star so having a black side can make it look plain. The build quality is good but the fabric is a bit slippery compared to others. It's ok for practice so I'm not giving it 1 star, but I'd recommend buying other brand and checking that both sides have a design showing." Yeyo, United Kingdom.

17th August, 2024 Pair of Cone Poi with Carry Bag Great Tools, a lot of chemicals "Everything regarding shipping, overall Quality and shipping time was awesome. Only 1 of the 20 pairs of poi had a small sewing-issue at the velcros, where the velcros came off partially while opening. Only optimization point: - a heavy chemical smell from all 3 components: the carry bag, the cone, as well as the balls for filling the poi. The fabric probably is not an eco-friendly organic cotton. There is some room for ecological improvement. Would recommend ordering at your shop if these points are integrated. Thanks a lot, anyways!" Antonios, Germany.

Reply from Home of Poi: "We’re glad to hear that most of the poi sets met your expectations.
Regarding the concerns you mentioned about the chemical smell and the eco-friendliness of the materials, I’d like to share some details about our products. The poi weight balls are made from a soft shell fabric, and the inner filling is 100% recycled rubber, sourced from materials like used tires. The carry bag is sublimated to give it a fancy look.
We understand the importance of ecological responsibility, and we’re continuously exploring ways to improve the environmental friendliness of our products. Your feedback is invaluable in helping us make these advancements."

26th January, 2024 Pair of EMPTY Cone Poi Good enough "In December I ordered 5 pairs for teaching others. Unfortunately, 3 of the 10 are an inch shorter than the rest, and on the other 7 the inside seams are not overlocked, the hem is left loose and is already fraying. I ordered a pair of these over a decade ago, they've lasted me very well. The 'invisible' velcro seal, sturdy non-stretchy fabric and loops were major selling points to me. The construction seems otherwise the same standard, though these newer ones have slightly wider handles which is no problem at all. Unfortunately I'm concerned that this lack of quality control also suggests a general decline in quality overall. Where else are corners being cut?" Thenagain, United Kingdom.

10th December, 2023 Pair of EMPTY Cone Poi Nice set "This is a great practice set. Easily adjust weight (I use rice bags). When learning new moves, the slow nature of these cloth poi provide precision and controllability. Peace, joy, and Poi!" Greenupgar, USA. [Verified Buyer] BRONZE Member since Nov 2023
22nd November, 2023 Pair of Cone Poi with Carry Bag Great Starter Poi "I wanted to by poi that were cheaper than contact poi, didn't stretch, and that wasn't as distracting flag poi. These poi turned out to be the perfect kind for me to begin my poi journey. I bring them everywhere." Anon, USA. [Verified Buyer] SILVER Member since Nov 2016
24th October, 2023 Pair of Elderly Cone Poi with Carry Bag Great poi for smaller spaces "These are not only for elderly people . I use them in my Appartement where space is limited . They are about one fist length shorter than the regular swivel knob poi . Sturdy fabric with Velcro . Sometimes I put LED juggling balls inside when it s dark , really nice effect . Shipping took a little longer , but great customer service . I really like the swivel knob" Marc, Canada. [Verified Buyer] BRONZE Member since Jul 2023

26th August, 2023 Pair of Strap Dragon Wing Flag Poi with Carry Bag Not what I expected. "I bought these to put on the end of my staff for more effect while spinning in the day. They work... But are much heavier than I expected. It really slows down the staff and makes it hard to spin. On their own they are again... Just Ok. Not much different than my poi but the flapping is distracting." Jtpurdom, USA. [Verified Buyer] BRONZE Member since Jun 2023
