My positive and negative feedback explain quite a bit.
It's a great alternative for those who cannot spend on hair toys, since it's so cheap (they don't overcharge on shipping either). I didn't have trouble with any forks/sticks/combs but I found the clasp (slide) didn't work quite as well because I could either do a loose half-up or a tight up-do, so I don't recommend them for thick hair.
On the threads quite a few people needed to sand down some forks (guess I was lucky), so beware, but for the price it's still a great deal. I would really like if they worked with different woods, but they do quite a bit of styles with the wood they work, so you'll find lots of variety either way. They just started with metal (lovely golden flowers) a while ago too (mine's on the mail!).
They also have cheap plain wood sticks for those who like to experiment and make their own decorated hairsticks. I find that a lot of the sticks were quite long for me (7-8 inches), but there are shorter options too (5.5-6 inches) though fewer. I bought more forks than sticks anyway, since sticks are easier to come by locally.
I quite like this seller (though I know some don't) and hope this was a good review, this is my honest opinion. I've bought from them three times since the end of last year. I really just don't give it a 10 because I'd like to see more woods.
ETA: Where I live, hairtoys aren't as expensive like I see on this site, at all. The prices from this seller are similar to my local stores. I live in Brazil. Sometimes I think the members here are just used to getting ripped off :P. I know many want to pay for the more expensive toys, this review is to help those who can't/don't want/don't think is worthed. Not every hairtoy is/needs to be "a piece of expensive art". Because something is cheap, doesn't mean it's from a sweatshop.

Cheap, nice designs, long hairstick lengths, great for a newbie hairtoy addict.

Workmanship a mixed bag, long shipping time (although shipping is cheap), and uncertain origins.

I'm a bit torn on Leginayba. I have two rounded paua shell topped hairsticks from them, bought through their eBay shop; they were sold as singles though I use them as a pair. They're a good solid length (7" overall), the shipping was quicker than I expected (about three weeks just after Christmas, I was expecting 6-8 weeks) and the shipping charge is very reasonable. The seller's communication was very polite and helpful, albeit in broken English. The wood on mine is nicely finished, snag-free; the paua shell is secure but a little bit messy if you look closely. The price is great, incredibly cheap, and perfect if you're just beginning to discover hairtoys. What worries me though is that it is quite so cheap. I don't mean to sound ungrateful, but it wouldn't surprise me if a sweatshop was behind these, and although I'm happy with my sticks from them, it's something to keep in mind.

I received today my order from Leginayba & i'm very happy with them. I have a beautiful wooden fork with abalone shell decoration, a pair of decorated wooden sticks, a wiggly shaped single wooden stick with inlaid steel decoration & a small horn fork. The horn fork is not the one I originally ordered but is very pretty so I am happy anyway! Leginayba products are ridiculously cheap, I payed around £20 for all these items including postage from Bali to the UK, the quality is good, no snagging from any of these toys when I put them in my hair. I would order from them again
