It shipped quickly, and the included setup sheet (plus a few videos) helped me get it assembled and up and running. So far I have woven two scarves and several dishcloths. The only thing I do not like about it is that the dowels are held on with string - and even with the "warp helper" I find it hard to do... I think I would like a dowel held with rigid plastic like I can see on the Ashford. I bought the harp because I liked the idea of an included warping board on the other side... but now I realize that I may not ever use it (since I prefer a direct warping method).
I watched the video form Paradise about the various types of RHL in addition to other research I did. The loom came sooner than I expected. They also provided a discount for my next purchase. I bought yarn, the discount didn't work in my cart, but the problem was quickly resolved when I notified them. Looking forward to may more purchases.
I would recommend this loom to anyone new weaver or experienced.
So far so good! I was missing one piece but it was quickly sent right out. I love the loom and have already nearly finished my first project. Great quality and great service through Paradise Fibers!
Easy set up. Intuitive for a first time user. Works beautifully however the beam handles needed fiddling with to get them all for tight. Over ask an excellent purchase for a first loom.

WEAVING YOUR 1ST SCARF ON THE HARP FORTE
Because the Kromski Harp conveniently folds with warp and project in place, why not put it in a tote bag for easy storage or travel?
Made of polycanvas and featuring canvas handles, the Harp Tote Bag is very sturdy. The base of the tote is re-enforced to provide sturdy support of the loom. With a pocket on the inside and a zippered pouch on the outside there is plenty of room for extra heddles, stick shuttles, pick-up sticks, warping equipment, clamps and weaving material. The back side includes canvas straps to secure the long posts for the Harp stand.
*Optional accessories: Stand, Carrying Bag, and Warping Sticks.
The Kromski Tote, extra heddles, extra heddle blocks (for more complex weaving) and stands are available separately for the harp.
