Very good value - not all that 'fine', 17 Sept. 2014

I've just used these to deal with very messy hands & feet. They've done a good job, and there's still plenty of life in the first board I used. They are 7" long (18cm) and made of strong card, about 1mm thick. They're billed as 'fine grit' but I'd agree with previous reviewers - the texture's really more medium to coarse. These boards would, though, be good for delicate nails as they're highly effective and shed very little. This means you barely have to apply any pressure. Being able to use a light touch means they'll last longer, so it's a win all round :)

Brilliant!, 12 Aug. 2013

The fineness of these files is lovely and gentle on nails. It annoys me when I use the edges as the middle is still unused so I just cut the emery board in half and double the capacity of use!

Quie fine sanding, but gentle., 10 Jan. 2015

Just softish emery boards. If you want to shorten nails considerably, I think it would take a while and they wouldn't last long, but for smoothing off without damaging my very temperamental nails I am OK with my purchase.One week later:After just a few uses, these became fairly useless..not a good buy
