Review on Sennelier Wood Half Stick Pastels by Linda Diaz

I received the box and faced the same problem as the other reviewer: when I opened the box the small pin holding the smaller shelf fell endured. and this shelf just hung in a drawer. Luckily, having read the same issue with other reviewers, I was already prepared for this to happen, so at least my halves of the stick didn't fall out everywhere. The halves look normal, no damage. The box itself was covered in pastel dust, but after I took out each foam insert and placed a damp paper towel on top, it looked great. You can't go wrong with this box. Be careful when you first open it and if you get a box with a pin falling out be careful and once you put the pin back where it belongs the top shelf works great. Beautiful colors. I tried comparing the color chart to their Paris collection and it turned out that over 90% of the colors are in both boxes. There were only about 8 colors that I couldn't combine with both sets. This set has a wooden box which makes it best for storage.
