Although I'm a newbie to adult coloring, I'm accustomed to Prismacolor Pencils and, while they're nice, I could immediately tell the difference in these just by the way they feel in my hand. They're heaven. They require a much lighter touch, they're much more pigmented, the dark colors are truly opaque and all colors are more vibrant. I'm still in the learning curve of shading and blending but already getting good results so its just a matter of getting aquatinted. All the leads are perfectly centered and these pencils KEEP THIER POINT MUCH LONGER than PC's, which means less sharpening and a longer lasting pencil.
The wood box came perfectly packaged without a scratch. Each pencil is nestled snugly in its slot and you never have to worry about them becoming jumbled in transit. The metal carrying handle rotates within its rounded hinge, so your hand never slips. Even if you dropped it, the metal locks are sturdy and fool proof so random spillage seems unlikely. Twist til it clicks and that's that. There's 6 additional pencil/pen slots and 2 more cubbies (appx 5x2) for erasers and supplies.
If I could add anything to this set it would be a paler shade of blue, green, pink and purple. If you're like me and would rather have them than blend them I'd recommend adding Prismacolor 1086 Light Sky Blue, 1089 Pale Sage, 1018 Pink Rose and 934 Lavender. (Polychromos 9201-119 Light Magenta is similar to Prismacolor Lavender but much more pink than purple) I've also heard that Prismacolor White (Blanc) 938 is superior to the Polychromos white but I can't tell you why.
This seller only gives one free shipping option with no tracking. My package was ordered 7/5, shipped 7/6, estimated delivery to SC was 7/19 - 8/27 and arrived 8/3 if that helps you estimate. They seem to have the best price so for me, it was worth the wait.
Overall, I'd recommend this set to newbies who have the money and don't care to make the mistakes I did and artists who want beautiful storage and sturdy transportation, all-in-one. Money well spent!

Skillwise: To really make the most of this set, if you’re not a colored pencil pro, but buy this set because you can ( smile), then I suggest you take one of the Craftsy courses on colored pencils (or something like that). As a teaser: To see what high end colored pencils can do, see the cover of the “Colored Pencil Painting Bible” by Alyona Nickelsen (book available on Amazon) or google her name, and this will lead you to an amazing color pencil journey that has changed a lot in the last twenty years.
Comparison to Prismacolor: I own and use Prismacolor also, they’re both fantastic and even though they have different ‘bases’ that make them creamy, they are compatible to use together. The Polychromos in the US is more expensive than Prismacolor, so I’m more likely to use Prismacolor for experiments and a blend of Prismacolor and Polychromos for serious art
The wonderful thing about color pencils is that when you’re busy you can start and stop easily, not a lot of clean up. You might also enjoy the Derwent Inktense pencils and paints (even the Derwent pencils work on fabric too!) and the Faber-Castell or other brand watercolor pencils. All for sale on Amazon. Lots of possibilities! Creativity with pencils is very soothing!
Bottom line: If you can afford it and love the rituals of choosing your pencil and enjoying the whole ambiance of art, this is a high five star review. For me, to have my first cup of coffee and thenchoose a colored pencil out of this lovely wooden boxed set to start a creative day, well it doesn’t get much better than that!
The perfect pencils!!

The perfect pencils!!
Quality is excellent, and My daughter of 9 years old, absolutely loves colouring away with this box!
Lastly, as another reviewer commented, the two shelf presentation of the pencils as the box is opened allows the artist to visualize all the available colors at one time (my wife told me that being able to see all the colors at once was important to her).
Anyway, it is an "investment" but well worth it IMHO.
Last for the box and shelves, it would be nice to have a clear acrylic cover, so that if the box is dumped on the flood, they do not spill out
