On the cheap side:
OK, but the thread colors are on the rare side: florescent orange and pink, etc. The "pin cushion" is a piece of styrofoam. You get the picture.
the good, the bad and the ugly:
Like others I believe the storage case itself is a good quality. However the quality of the thread leaves much to be desired and I wouldn't use it with quilt shop quality fabric.

OK for an organizer, but little thread on spools...:
No bobbins included, and space for them is not a "clip" but a plastic tray inside a side tray. Nice for a beginner that is starting from scratch, but thread spools are not secure & have only a little thread on them, and fold-out trays are a bit inconvenient. I would recommend for perhaps a middle school student taking a home economics class, but prolly not the best system for a more advanced seamstress. I would be VERY careful having this around smaller children, as things can fall out... more info
no bobbins:
the point of having a sewing kit is to have bobbins. when i bought this storage system, i was under the impression that there were 10 bobbins in the case. but there were none. so basically you just have all this pretty colored thread but no way to use it while sewing. its a waste of money, you can buy everything in the kit for less than what it costs here.
