Norberg & Linden XXL Drawing Set - Sketching and Charcoal Pencils. 100 Page Drawing Pad, Kneaded Eraser, and Graphite. Art Set for Kids, Teens and Adults

Good my husband loves it

It was expected to be high quality, suppose to be high quality, but somehow it turned out made not in the Sweden.

Nice set 10 year old loved it but would be nice for adults too

I gave this to an artist friend. I was very happy with it and he liked it alot.

I love its compactness because it has every art/sketch item needed in one spot....plus its portable.

very complete, compact, easy to travel with

Perfect Xmas perfect for someone who likes to draw.

Christmas gift for my grandson delving into his artistic creative brain. Im a GREAT grandmother. He loved it. Perfect. How did you know this was what I wanted? Hes apple polishing ahead of his birthday!

In a funny turn of events, I ordered myself a sketch kit at the same time my husband ordered one for me. So I ended up with a cheap Chinese version (which I purchased) and a premium brand name version (which my husband ordered for me.) In a side by side, the Norberg & Linden was obvious higher quality. They were practically identical, but every piece of the Norberg & Linden set was a little bit better, especially the paper. The K Kwokker brand was more like dollar store paper, and I can tell that it would rip pretty easy in use. The Norberg & Linden sketchbook was bigger, heavier, and had more pages. Ultimately, I chose that the BETTER set was from Norberg & Linden because I feel that a sketchpad of equal quality would cost more than the price difference between the two sets. I guess you get what you pay for. Also, the Norberg & Linden set came with this nice box which I can use to store the sketchbooks and the other came in plastic film wrap. Even my cat Sparkle helped me with my decision and 100% of the time he tried to sharpen his claws on the Norberg & Linden instead of the other one which is a weird flex but okay

I was so incredibly excited about this set! Unfortunately, when I opened the package box, I immediately saw so much mold on the case: inside, outside and even in the zipper. The set looks like it has potential but due to the significant amount of mold found, I can’t even touch or remove any of the materials without touching mold. Therefore, this was a huge disappointment.
