My review:

I got this set for my niece and nephew because they like to color along side me. I enjoy coloring for stress relief and have a set that I use exclusively for myself. I wanted to give the kids access to a set that is more suited for them and they were thrilled to receive it and to have so many colors. There is such a nice assortment of colors and they complement each other great. You get 50 different colors in this set, all pencils came pre-sharpened. None of the colors are duplicates, but there are a few colors that are really close, but not identical. The lead on these pencils seems to be pretty strong- I put a fair amount of pressure on them and they did not break. They've also held up to my niece and nephew very well, which is not an easy thing to do do. Most colored pencils would snap under the pressure and these did not. I'm very pleased with them as they are still intact and working well. The pencils are easy to sharpen and seem like they'll last a fair amount of time. The case isn't the best, but I would expect to pay a lot more for a nicer case. Each pencil has it's own individual slot allowing you to view all the colors lined up next to each other and keeps things nice and tidy. At this price point ($6.96) this set is a good value. However, this set isn't as pigmented and doesn't provide as smooth of an application as the more expensive brands do. Generally because these pencils have a harder core, the color output is a bit on the lighter side so additional passes are usually necessary. All in all, this is a great starter set for my niece and nephew. The beautiful variety of colors makes coloring so much fun for them.
