Too overpriced for what you get.

For thirty five dollars I was expecting the Conte crayons in this set to be full size but they are tiny (2.5 inches long, 1/4 inch wide and deep ) ). and two are broken into small pieces. I ordered this for a portrait class and I have to say I feel cheated. Not impressed.

Pros
  • nice stuff
Cons
  • don't remember but something was

Everything is good except for the old and dry eraser

Regular size colored pencils. Not sure what the other reviewer thought they were supposed to be. However, the set was so old that the soft white eraser dried up. It clumped on the outside but was sticky in the center when I unwrapped the yellow-speckled cellophane. Yuk. No, it could not be revived by kneading. Luckily I have some mixed erasers on hand so it's a shame but not a total waste.

Pros
  • Works for me
Cons
  • No instructions
