Review on Quality

We’ve reviewed a set of 48 colored pencils from Raffine Marco before. However, that set had half the color variety and was made in Mexico. This set includes 72 truly different colors and is made in China. Like we’ve mentioned in our other posting, these Raffine Marco colored pencils are a step up from Crayola but definitely no where near the quality of Prismacolor or other high end colored pencils. However, for the price and its overall quality, we think that this set can definitely compliment any coloring-book enthusiasts’ pencil box. These pencils are suppose to be a oil-based; however, as other users have reported, these pencils seem to be wax-based. The colors are very bright and bold – lays down color well and blends okay. The pencils come pre-sharpened; however, depending on shipping, some of the tips may be broken. Also, some users reported that their set had a strange paint-thinner like smell. However, Amazon users overall like the product giving it 4.4 out of 5 stars with over 250 reviews.
