Better than expected! I’m a pen/pencil addict. I got these for occasional coloring book use. They are great pencils- good comfy fit in hand, saturated color, and sturdy!

I bought this set of colored pencils as well as a couple of other name brands for sketching. I was amazed at the quality for the price. These hex shaped 'barrel' pencils are weighty and smooth on the paper. The core isn't as soft as the brand I bought starting with the letter "P" but they are superior. The color payout is rich and the laydown on the standard sketch paper was smooth. I can't believe with the reputation of the "P" brand that these pencils are hands down better. I'm so pleased with these and the smokin deal I got.

These are basically a good quality scholastic or kid's level colored pencil. You can tell from the price that they are not really "premium." The feel heavy and solid in the hand, they sharpen well and I haven't broken a point in the sharpener yet. They are durable.Don't presume that because they are from Staedtler, they are "professional quality."The pencil lead is waxy and soft, not hard like an artist's colored pencil. They lay down color pretty well, and layer okay, but they aren't the best for blending. If you just want to lay down a single color, you can get a pretty rich tone by covering the same area with several layers, but gradations and painterly techniques are not well suited to these pencils.I find them similar to Crayola colored pencils. Crayola is, in my opinion, more vibrant, but Staedtler Noris are built better and more durable.

These are great color pencils. The leads are a bit on the hard side, so you may not get rich dark colors, but they still color very nice and sharpen well.

I like to color to relieve stress and wanted a nice small set to carry with me. I felt that these were a good price for the quality. They are really nice. The colors go onto the pages smoothly and are vibrant. I liked them so much that I purchased another pack to have as a backup for when I've used up the original set.

I am using these as an adult for coloring and paid about $8 USD for this set of 24 Staedtler colored pencils. You can ignore most of my upcoming points if this is for a child to use. I am not a fan of these colored pencils. Their finish is good, the wood material is solid, and they have very high break resistance. However, the most important part of the pencil, the lead, is extremely lacking when it comes to performance and comfort of use.For reference, I will be using a cheap 24 set of Crayola [owned by Hallmark] colored pencils manufactured in Brazil that you would find in any general store (I snagged a box at the local wally world) for about $3.50 USD in the United States in July of 2024 for comparison. The build quality of the Crayola is far inferior. The wood is brittle, the lead is not glued the entire length, and many of the pencils are not even perfectly straight with some of them being slightly bowed. However, the actual lead is superior. The Staedtler pencils, though very break resistant, seems to be glued the entire length to resist shattering, and are all perfectly straight, just are not nice to use. Comparatively, the Crayolas seem to be slightly more pigmented (the colors are stronger), and very importantly, a decent amount more soft. The leads in the Staedtler pencils are very hard and tough (likely due to their formulation offering extra break resistance), so it takes an unbelievable amount of force to get good vibrant and opaque color from them. The Staedtlers do put their material down more consistently compared to the cheap Crayolas however, but the laydown is lighter, requiring more layers or much harder pressure to get the same shade of any color.For adult casual coloring use, avoid these. Your fingers will thank you. Go look for other colored pencils that have soft leads. I recommend considering slightly higher end options around $15-20 for a pack of 24, the extra premium options are usually $2 or more each pencil as of July 2024, those have super concentrated pigments and soft leads, so the colors are extremely vibrant and consistent. For kids, these are pretty good. It will survive more abuse compared to most other budget-friendly-leaning options with less lead breakage. Plus, its generally better quality in every other metric that would be relevant to a child.
