Review on Darice 1103 10 131 Piece Premium Art by Kristen Simpson

I chose this product to save some money over some of the more 'professional' products to save money - unfortunately I was a bit disappointed. I'll start with the positives: variety - you get a good range of colors for markers, crayons and crayons. Retention is a key reason to buy as all content is preserved. Cons: Quality is the priority here. The included brushes were damaged, the packaging was rotten (more on that later), and I'm concerned about the durability of some components (stapler, scissors, markers). The edges of the wooden box were sharp. you, if you buy this as a gift, and you know the person's preferences, it might be better to just buy that person markers, crayons, etc. This product is more of a "all-rounder". Box: The processing of the box is very bad. As I mentioned before, the two halves of the box don't align when it's closed. The wood used was cheap and assembled. I'm not sure if the manufacturer sanded the wood at all. But I have some general tips to improve it if you decide to buy this gift: Tools Needed: - Scrapers - Sandpaper/Electric Sander - Stain - Paintbrush Carefully remove the paper stick from the box if you are lucky, Is the paper light? Get up and leave no paper behind. Otherwise you will need a scraper to remove the glue. After that, sand the box. I also chose to sand the edges to limit possible injuries and splinters. When you're done sanding, all that's left to do is paint the box. By doing so, he greatly improved the visual aesthetics of the box.
