Nice idea, not durable
 
Review Date: November 29, 2007
Reviewer: Sad Duck, Bellaire, Tx United States
I got this for my 6 year old son, who loves to color and draw, after he saw it at a store. I liked the idea of him having a case to carry his art supplies. Unfortunately, when it arrived, the handle was already broken. Not long after we got it, one of the hinges broke. As mentioned by another reviewer, the supplies are held in the case with cheap thin molded plastic that quickly gets torn and warped. This liner also doesn't stay put on the respective sides of the case, so after closing the case, you have to reset the liner on each side. The markers are of good quality. The pencils are decent, but short and often the lead breaks easily. The oil pastels are poor.
Decent supplies. Cheap case

Not at all what I expected. The supplies are okay except the plastic scissors. I was expecting a nice case though, but on the inside it's just really thin plastic that will wear and tear very fast. Also, every time you open the case, you then have to open up the thin plastic to get to the supplies.
Not oil pastels

Reviewer: Emily Ross-brown, Oakland, CA
We got two sets of these for our kids for Christmas, knowing that the Alex brand has a great reputation - I was really disappointed to find that the oil pastels are actually just plain old wax crayons and they don't actually color very well - the colors are weak and insipid.

Not what I would expect from Alex!
Cheap and not worth the price

I purchased this kit because Alex usually makes good quality toys, but I was totatlly disappointed with this product. The glue was dry and the plastic scissors didn't even work. The cheap plastic interior, holding in all the arts supplies, will break in a matter of days. Alex should issue a refund, in full, to all those who purchased this product. DO NOT purchase!!!
