It's OK, but it doesn't have a 1L flask. Most people want a 1L and a large flask for doing things like distilling hardware store solvents. You'll probably break a lot of glass (everyone does), so I'd suggest getting something cheap.

I thought that too, but all of my synthesis are small scale. I will someday need one, but the 500 mL should serve my purpose. Its also the cheapest one that I trust that I found on Amazon.

I should receive my first Deschem order here soon, two 50mL rbf's and a 200mm liebig condenser. I bought my 24/29 kit from HomeScienceTools - well, my parents did. For those that need a parent-friendly purchase method, HST seems really good and I had only a single piece of glass that had a tiny inclusion.

HST is great. Its cheaper then Pirex with an easier selection. For some reason, parent friendly is still an issue for me. I would get most of my glass from them, but they dont have free shipping to Alaska. Its something like 35USD for a four dollar mortar and pestle.

That look like a lovely kit.

Other than the usual concerns of clamping, heating, stirring etc.
Consider where / how you will dry them, and store them.
... before you eagerly use them and then realise the problem :P

My kit from Laboy came today. It was in great condition and the quality is great. The glass is not too thick or too thin, it is just right. I tested out the claisen adapter, thermometer and jacket and the 100mL flask by boiling water.
