Bought the Michaels store brand Artist Loft 36 count for under the regular price of $4.99 by using the 50% off regular priced item coupon. Even at regular price, these pencils are a great deal. They color and blend smoothly. The quality of the presharpening was bad as some had broke tips or wood on one side. Also the quality of the pencil wood is bad as for as sharpening in an electronic sharpener. I will stick to the hand sharpeners and my razor so to not waste anymore pencil. Colors for some of the pencils don’t match the descriptions or color on body of pencil so on that note I rate them below Crayola but higher than Rose Art or dollar brands. I still love these.
