Review on ๐Ÿ–Œ๏ธ High-Quality Large Pochade Box for 10"x12" Painting Boards by Gelin Battle

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Terrible product super thin wood and return postage is as much as I paid

This post decoration box looked amazing when I received it and I have a smaller version. The only problem is that with a larger slab and more wood, you have to use thicker wood to support everything. Well they used the same 1/8 inch thick thin wood they used to build the small version to build this one. They're now using thicker wood for the plate holder, but that doesn't help if the main support, the main connection point, the pallet that the plate holder is about to be glued to isn't nailed down, and the pallet itself is the same 1/8" thickness. That is a major structural issue. When cleaning the pallet, it bends with little effort. Now it starts to warp a bit. The plate section also starts to detach from the plate holder, which again shouldn't happen if it's nailed instead of just glued would.This is a major wear point and they only used glue not even staples.I wanted to like it but with so many problems I had to return it.I started a return and surprisingly I have to pay for shipping I can't just send it back like a normal return Well the return price of this box is $72, about the same as what I got paid for this box. Revain says they pay $20 for it, but I have $52 left for it. I'll just have to call Amazon and see what else can be done, if anything. If you are reading this, please do not buy. Jerry's Artarama sells a better scout bag box for the same price. I regret the purchase and am writing this review to let everyone know that it is as thin as the cheapest, so thin it just gets thin with use. I have used cigar boxes less thin than this one. It's not worth your money. I am sorry. I will update if I can get more help from Amazon and I hope so but considering this is an international shipping I doubt it.

Pros
  • art tools and sketch boxes
Cons
  • boring packaging
