Overall Good ProductNov 08, 2010
By priestcook
I purchased this product to get some basic art supplies when I took up drawing. The supplies have all worked well, but the case was not very durable, and actually was falling apart in places. A little glue corrected the problem.

 Nice stuff; bad boxJul 15, 2010
By Bugeyedmonster2
All the items in the box are wonderful. It is quite a good set for a beginner. It will supply the beginner with most everything they need.
The box was the main draw back for me. It's not very well made. The little plastic thing that the stuff is supposed to 'click' into doesn't hold the items very well. I kept trying to close it and had the items falling out of their slots and getting caught between other things.
The box had a crack around a knothole in the side. Looking at the paint job led me to believe that the knot hole had been ignored. No attempt at putting any wood putty around the knot hole or in the crack had been done. I'm not sure how the box would hold up to long term or heavy use.

So soJul 10, 2011
By Marco
For the bad quality of some of the pencils! i wouldn't recommend this product to advance drawers because it a pain the a** to sharpen a pencil every 2 minutes but i do recommend this set only to beginners because it comes with the basic tools and can be use to develop their ability.

 simply put... it sucksSep 13, 2011
By D. Wilkinson
Well i got this set today....opened it up to find that the other reviewers are correct. The box is cheaply made. The tray that is supposed to hold everything is worthless, made more apparently so by me opening it to find almost nothing is in the interior tray "holders" as it should be and most (75%) of the graphite and charcoal sticks were broken in 2 to 4 peices. Sure maybe i just got the "bad egg" this time, but going by what I see here I wouldnt recommend it to anyone.

 Hit or missJan 17, 2012
By Corey Hill
This product is like many have said, it is either a hit or a miss with how lucky you are to the state of the contents inside the box. I wanted to like this product, I did, but after having used the pencils. I just could not. And I knew it even when I had purchased this product that these would not be state of the art pencils, but it would have been nice if they did not completely skimp on them. Of the entire set of graphite pencils, maybe three worked well, they all sharpen horribly, which reduced me to using an ancient method of using a razor blade. Which I must say although it works great, I am not particularly a fan of sharp metal... I was one of the lucky few to find nothing broken, at least until I was attempting to get things out of the god forsaken case. It was a cheap plastic crate that held in the contents, which it does a good job of, don't get me wrong, but boy oh boy does it make it a pain in the behind to get the contents out. I snapped the handle part on the mini sandboard paper, and even though I am a bigger guy, it should not be so ridiculously sad of build quality that it snaps prying it from the depths of cheap haven. To the box itself, it is like others have said, it is very cheap, it does what I want, which is hold things in there. I can not say how nice it is to not carry 10 zip lock bags around looking like a crazy cat lady or drug dealer for art supplies. But thats where the good stops, it smelt fresh of paint, which is appalling in the least. You could actually tell they painted this thing before they sent it to me, which although it may have provide a sense of "your own little case" it does not because of the build quality. Granted my case has not been as bad as others, and maybe after not having purchased an art case of pencils for so long I was expecting too much, but if I had known that the build quality, the materials quality (especially that god awful crap kneaded eraser), and overall dismay was that bad, I would have saved 26.50 and put together a more expensive, and granted smaller package of art supplies. The only thing this case has going for it is that it hold things well. I do not do this often because I try to be nice, but boy oh boy, avoid this thing like the plague, it will only hinder your art ability, your wallet, and your sense of faith in art products online.
