Eh. These pencils are fine for their price point, and for coloring book purposes. They are something I’d have no problem giving to a young child. But for me, they are too hard, waxy, and not as smooth or vibrant as their FAR better sister, the Marco Renoir pencils. I’ll pass on these in the future.

Love these pencils...so far my favourites. Easy to sharpen, sturdy and great variety of shades

These are good pencils from a quality standpoint. I based on the picture was expecting the inserts to be have a little better quality and easier to lift out of the box.

This was received with broken pencils inside but zero damage to the metal case. Where is quality control??

These are definitely the best colored pencils I have ever tried. Perfect in every way.

They are what I spect to receive, perfect size, enough quantity and great colors tones.

Great pencils

Loved the way they colored. Hated the color selection. Very disappointed in that. Seemed it was mainly different shades if the same. Color

A nice set with a good range of colours, fairly soft so do go wear down quite quickly. Not easy to blend the colours, even with a bit of elbow grease they still don't blend completely smoothly. However, as a basic set and on a budget I can't really fault them. For me to practice with as I learn to draw they're fine, I've got the colours I need and am able to produce various tones/shades. Would recommend but will probably upgrade to something better if I continue to use colour pencils as I progress. If you're looking for a decent set for someone starting out though, these are a good choice.

One pencil broken in the box but no bits so must have been packed like it

Amazing pencils

The coloured pencils arrived well packaged. The presentation tin is lovely. Unfortunately, i didn't find these pencils to be any more pigmented that ordinary pencil crayons. To get a good colour i have to apply some pressure and even then it's nothing spectacular.

Excellent value for money, water blend really easily,good sturdy metal case,great for my daughters school art work.
