I have been doing pastels for years and this brand is my favorite. A good product for starting this medium. Break them in half before using and they work better, I think. Also, they are rather difficult to get out of the box so if you pick up the insert, you can bend the plastic slightly to get a grip on the chalk. Have fun!

Excellent Quality set. Used by many pastel artists especially since you can get a large selection of colors . I recommend the set of 96.

I always have these in my pastel box

I don't know what everybody else has been getting, but the ones that came in my box are exactly what they're supposed to be like. Sure they're fragile, but no more so than they're supposed to be. If they were less fragile, you'd have to re-learn how to use them, and maybe they wouldn't even do the job you wanted them to do. So these are exactly what they say they are. They might break, but that's just because that's what they are. Mine were pretty well packed, but I guess that's something that's up to the seller, so you might check on your seller's reviews if you're exceptionally concerned with your pastels getting broken. In my experience, however, broken pastels work just as well as intact ones. In fact, sometimes I break them on purpose for some specific purpose in a particular drawing. Those same broken pastels are still perfectly good for future use.

But once again, these pastels are not more fragile than any pastel should be, so if they're well handled and if the USPS does its job properly without some sort of accident along the way, your pastels really ought to arrive completely intact as mine did.

Oh, and the pastels work perfectly fine with no problems and nothing unexpected or improper. They're great. I shall surely buy them again many times.

Great semi-hard chalks. Excellant color selection. Blend beautifully and a joy to work with. I had a set of larger pastels and these allow me to add fine line definition. So glad I bought these

If you don't count the price, it's a perfect product. Only two pastels were cracked, and they were broken in the middle, which is where I break them anyways. Great color and exactly what I was looking for.
