iArtker Adults and Kids Art Supplies Trilateral Long Colored Pencils with Sharpener (set of 24)

I am very disappointed in these colored pencils. First off, two of the main reasons I purchased this set were because of the majority of great reviews, and because it came with a sharpener in the lid. The sharpener on mine does not work at all. It seems as though the blade isn't tight enough, yet I can't get it to tighten any more because the plastic part that the screw screws into seems like it's stripped. Because of the shape of these pencils, they are not able to be sharpened in a standard sharpener. I am having to use a sharpener that my daughter has for one of her jumbo pencils, but that keeps causing the tips of my pencils to break. Thus, I am left with nearly unusable pencils once the tips wear down.The second disappointment is that there is very little color variety in this set, and I don't believe I received the variety that appears in the picture of this set. I received SEVEN shades of green-though at least four look exactly or almost exactly the same, 4 shades of brown-two of which are almost identical, 2 oranges that look exactly the same, 2 reds that are almost identical, 2 pinks that are almost identical, 2 blue, and only 1 each of purple, yellow, black, very dark gray, and peach. I would much prefer more pinks, yellows, and blues instead of so many greens that look almost the same.I intend to see if I can have these replaced or refunded by Amazon, as I am extremely disappointed, and feel I would have been better off buying a box of Crayola colored pencils.

I've used these pencils extensively in my adult coloring books during my recovery from foot surgery. Great basic coloring pencils with a three-sided design that keeps them from rolling away from you. Vibrant "unlabeled" colors (for ex: yellow can be whatever you want it to be: daffodil, sunflower, or canary). The built in sharpener in the top of the pencil container is dull and useless. But, these pencils are easy to sharpen with a regular manual sharpener from any office or school supply store. The leads don't crumble or fall out of the pencil, unlike softer, more expensive ones. These joined the rest of my colored pencil collection and now reside in a box which once contained Arturo Fuente cigars.

They work great, the container is convenient and small, love that it has a built in sharpener! BUT I think I got two of the same red pencils for some reason! Wonder what color I’m missing. . .

Have had some problems with lead breaking as pencils are sharpened, but love the colors and the sharpener in the lid (the company deserves kudos for this alone). I liked well enough to buy more as gifts and I believe the softer leads are prone to break and this is not specific to this brand.

The colored pencils arrived with no top/sharpener. Just open in the box. The pencils are fine but where's the top?

Super bummed. I finally went ahead and bought these pencils for me and my daughter to keep in the car, the built in sharpener is handy. Once I finished gathering the pencils from the bottom of the bag they were shipped in, I counted only 18 pencils when it's clearly marked as a 24 pice set.As for the quality, they color nicely. The color is not as rich as I had expected, but they glide over paper very nicely.

not so great if you just use them as colored pencils...much better when water is added

Great colors, but the triangle shape make them nearly impossible to sharpen.
