Reviews and returns
What reviews say buyers love and hate about Colouring Pencils for School
What buyers praise, what they complain about and why they send it back, from the reviews.
Complain
The colours are far from vibrant
missing colour
You can't colour over different shades as the pencils work more like wax crayons than pencil ones so therefore you can't blend the colours
Poor quality
shocked at quality for a trusted brand
Shame as otherwise a good product
They dont sharpen very well - they break before you can get them really sharp
have to lean on them more than I expected which cause to sharpen more often
Very hard
Hard leads
Broken nibs and a damaged case, not great
The nibs of around 1/3 of the pencils were broken odd and the case was damaged and bent
