- Made in Germany, lead protection (although I haven't tested it yet, I hope it works), a pretty good color palette. Well, the most important advantage is the discount).
- The packaging is in terrible condition! :( It was open, wrinkled, a little torn, and generally has such a shabby appearance, as if it is already a hundred years old or it has been used for a long time. :( By the way, I never found the year of production of these pencils anywhere. I suspect (judging by the box) that they are very old. The store could have warned about the condition of the box so that buyers would not be shocked. I did not give three stars only because of the discount. (I was also lucky that all 36 pieces were in place! it's just a miracle)
