not usable
the smaller box is great. the larger one is unusable. when pastels are placed in the box, the weight bends the thin inner lids and the pastels move from compartment to compartment or crush under pressure if they stay on the edge of the divider. each half should have at least 4 tabs holding the inner covers. the box is unusable until I figure out what to do to solve that problem. unfortunately I don't have woodworking tools

Amazing price for such a high quality piece! The wood is beautiful and solid, natural grain and unique to each box. The padding inside is flat so you can put all your broken portions in without a problem, there is also an added piece of foam for the top so they're held in place just fine between the bottom and top foam. A prior review suggested that the two halves should be able to be separated, it looks like that was taken to heart! I can confirm that mine came with a hinge that was easy to slide apart and back together! I feel like it should be a feature that is promoted more because it really is nice to have. The hinge connection is still very solid, I'm not afraid of it coming apart by accident. I would prefer 4 clips per half holding the white retaining board in place, I think that would make it absolutely perfect. However, if I take a second more opening it and make sure the board doesn't slip it's not really much of an issue. I also got the smaller, square version and those were just as well made but did not have the open hinge however, I don't think they necessarily need it given their size (although I believe it also could benefit from 4 clips per section on the inside to hold the white board). The wood on both does appear to have a thin coat on it that seals it because it's very easy to wipe clean with a wet towel. I love, love LOVE these boxes! Also, I was reluctant to order them for quite a while due to shipping all the way to the US, but shipping was free on my order and it was faster than my US shipments! Super fast! A+ Jackson's!

beautfully made at a reasonable price
Review
the product is excellent. Just what I needed
Review
Very good quality product for the price. The only slight weakness is that there are only two fairly insubstantial retainers for the interior boards which hold the pastels and foam in place. If you want a squarer footprint it's easy to relocate the hinges to the longer side.
Review
I was pleasantly surprised by the high quality and smart appearance of this box, considering the low price. It's a simple job to move the hinges from the short to the long side, so that when unfolded it has a more squarish footprint. The only potential weaknesses are the little clips which hold the melamine sheets in place - they could be stronger and four in number rather than two. But excellent overall
Review
Excellent value for money

Does what it says on the tin fabulous product
Review
One suggestion I would make is that the pastel case on the end with the hinges have interlocking hinges which would allow an artist to separate the two sections and place them side by side. The case requires at least 42 inches of linear space on a table when it is opened. I have looked for these hinges but have been unsuccessful so far. My son is a professor at the University of London. Perhaps he will have success there. Any suggestions where to look are appreciated. I'm also going to put at least one coat of varathane on the wood to protect it from pastel dust et cetera. Still a very useful product which was not available here. Thank you. Bill McKinnie
Review
The box is well made BUT the pastels roll about when in transit. I have put some bubble wrap between the removal covers and the pastels to prevent this. I think there should be a layer of foam included to stop the pastels rolling around.

Good box with plenty of storage
Review
The box has a corner that has been dented- not sure if it was during transit. one of the latches is missing a screw and the corner miters on one corner seem to be falling apart. over all the quality is not very good
Review
Love this Pastel box, the fold over design makes it easy to store and use, not too heavy when fully loaded and keeps the full set safe and secure, would recommend.
