This is our schools second time ordering with Balsa Central and it won't be the last! They are fantastic to work with and very helpful if you have questions. We ordered through the website this time and it was nice to be able to add products to the cart and checkout using the school system/invoice generator. Our order shipped super fast and the balsa wood was exactly what we wanted. It's already in the classroom being used.
