Review on 🎨 Optimized Storage Box for Richeson French Mistresses by Carrie Spencer

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Simple good design, a bit of compromise in workmanship

I like the simplicity of this French, greatly expands my palette. I use a French easel at home or outdoors and it can be safely placed on a tray. It frees my hands from carrying a large pallet and I can put a glass in it which is much easier to clean than a wooden pallet. When I go to class, I can just put my brushes and tubes of paint in it and carry it with me, so it's very convenient. It worries me that the smaller one comes with a plastic palette and the large one I bought doesn't, although this palette would be suitable for watercolours. Why am I giving 4 instead of 5 stars? The quality is a bit off for the price. I'm not exactly a wood expert, but I find it's not that difficult to make a box like this; but the one i have looks pretty rough and sloppy. The wood around the joints was badly sanded, a few splinters had to be pulled out; One of the top halves is slightly deformed so they don't close tightly.
