A good product. Seller not recommended

Excellent material but as for the seller I would give 0 stars every single one came broken and soiled with different colors. It was in the middle of a package with good airbags for protection and a whole box. So this is a problem before shipping!

Pros
  • good item
Cons
  • slightly crumpled

It would be great if the coal didn't arrive in many small pieces.

These are good coals, but somehow they broke. I couldn't return them as I needed them immediately for my art class. The charcoal itself would have gotten 5 stars if one or two arrived per stick, but it didn't. Needless to say I am very disappointed. However, someone else in my class has a full set and they arrived as they should. I hate a bad product review because the problem was with the shipping. I can't put all the pieces back in the jar and close the lid so I wrapped everything in a towel…

Pros
  • Finally bought
Cons
  • Some disadvantages

For me there are no fragments.

Mine arrived intact but was recommended by a friend. If I had played with them first, I would have known they weren't for me. The colors are great, but when I use an easel I see just as much charcoal powder falling on the floor as on paper. and when I gasp, some of it falls off too. On the other hand, if my boyfriend ever goes out, I'll have a barely touched (but intact/whole again) set.

Pros
  • Add water for added versatility and additional artistic potential, including splashes and washes.
Cons
  • Could have chosen a newer model.

One of the charcoal arrived broken for drawing

One of the charcoal arrived broken, the other sticks are completely smeared with other colors, especially white that has been overlaid with black charcoal. The box is intact, there are no damages, so it was not packed as it should. The theses didn't impress me, more coal falls than on paper. Very confusing. I do not recommend this product.

Pros
  • Coarse charcoal offers many creative possibilities
Cons
  • Doubt

Damaged Item - Blueprint

Package arrived intact but one of the pieces of #05 black charcoal had broken in two uncleanly. I started the Revain return process but since I don't have a printer I have to pay $1 for label printing plus return shipping. It just wasn't worth it so I decided not to return them. I think I can use either half and luckily I have some large charcoal block handles. But I think Revain's return policy is unfair to the consumer because I am charged extra for returning a damaged product that I have…

Pros
  • Use on the sides for a broad spread of graphite and on the edges for detail
Cons
  • Slightly dented
