A+ merchant. Fast shipping, AAAA+ condition, securely packaged, great appearance, overall great quality, just as described, great value. An awesome transaction.

Love it perfect for my painting supplies. It has 2 mini drawers for my pencils and watercolor brushes and the third one a little bit bigger for paint tubes.

When I was researching these drawers for my Prismacolor pencils, I realized that the 3-drawer system would be just a bit too small to house my 150-pencil set. However, I also had a set of 49 Prismacolor Art Stix, and I wanted something to house them all. While the 4-drawer system would have worked, it was prohibitively expensive—like 3x the price of the 3-drawer box. ??? So, I thought I’d give this a shot, and I’m glad I did.First, the balsa wood dividers are really easy to remove. Score the glue with an Xacto knife, rock gently back and forth and they easily come out. Use a straight edge to remove the rest of the glue from the drawer bottom and you’re ready to go.I used the trays from my Prismacolor set. I put the top two trays on top of the chest, and then cut the last four trays to fit (I had to remove two of the slots from one tray to make them fit in each drawer). That left four extra pencils. I had another tray from a different set, and pout that in the last drawer along with the trays for my Art Stix. Voila! Yes, one set of pencils sits on top. but I don’t move my pencils very often, so it’s not a problem. I also laminated my color charts and taped them to the top.I know that some people had some issues with quality. I’m not having an issue with these. They aren’t heavy wood, but my chest is fine.

The drawers work very smoothly. I like the placement of the dividers inside the drawers. I can finally organize my pastels and charcoals so they stay clean and unbroken (instead of all thrown together in a jumble.) It is an attractive addition to my art studio.

These drawers are MUCH higher quality than the price lead me to believe. All the pieces are solid and fit together well, even when pulling a drawer almost all the way out there is very little droop.The top two drawers will fit most paint brushes and hobby knifes and similarly sized tools, while the third drawer is slightly taller allowing for storage of bigger items, in my case hobby nippers, micro drill bit cases and glass files in protective containers.The pictures are deceptive as there is alot more room than I expected, I expected my brushes to take up a majority of one drawer but it's large enough I was able to separate my detail brushes into thier own slot, and when some detail brushes are 30+ dollars a piece, that's really nice.I've only experienced one con and that is the drawers are a bit to tight and you have to wiggle them in and out alot but I think that's more to due with the material overall than this product. A super quick workaround I figured out is taking some vinyl sticker sheet and line the contact points. I had some already from my cricut but you can get it at the dollar store nowadays.

In the top two shelves if I fill the compartments with pens it is hard to pick up one pen, so I’m thinking modifying it by cutting off a part of the each divider to make it easier to pick up one item out of the drawer.Maybe rub candle underneath the drawer so they move smoothly.It is decent quality for the price.

Using it for pastel pencils and it holds a lot. Very happy and it is the second one I bought

This was purchased because all of my art pencils were piling up with my erasers and other supplies on my side table, and I just couldn't stand it anymore. I saw this set of drawers, and thought, "Aha! I have found my solution!" And I HAD. This fits right on top of my side table, holds all my pencils, my sharpeners, tortillons, erasers of every kind, and is just finished beautifully, especially for an item of this price. The top 2 drawers have compartments from front to back that are sized just right, and the bottom drawer has no compartments which is perfect for holding my erasers, my chamois and any other incidentals that don't go into the compartment drawers. I'm also a woodworker, so I know about good finish work. Frankly, for what I paid for this item, didn't expect anything great, however, the workmanship is better than expected and the construction is just fine. Once in awhile, the drawers do get stuck when trying to slide them in and out, but experience has taught me that rubbing a bit of non-scented soap (the scent might dry out the wood) onto the drawer sides will take care of that problem quickly. I just love this little cabinet which isn't just for pastels, but for all types of art supplies. It's great for yourself, and would make a terrific gift for someone special as well.
