Alex Art Box - Wooden Art Center with Assorted Media

Art box comes with lots of supplies. I saw several reviews which had problems with quality of the box but the one I received was and still is fine.

My daughter begged for this product so we got it for her as a birthday gift over a year ago. She continue to use it. I just wish it cleaned itself up! Many many pieces. One oddity is that the kit contains oil pastels, and for the life of me I don't know why the makers thought oil pastels were a good idea for a kid to have. (I removed them and put them in a baggie...they can be a real mess!)

The packaging is fairly durable and has held up well after a year of torture.

I bought this for my 5 year old daughter and we tried to take very good care of it. Within a few days of careful use, one of the latches bent, a hinge broke off and a piece of the edge came unglued. It is a great idea, but needs better construction. On a positive note, my daughter loved it and would have spent hours drawing and creating with the tools inside if I let her. However, I had to take the box away so further damage does not occur before I can fix it. The drawers work fine. The problem is with the two doors on top that flip out. Note about drawers; Little plastic door knobs pop out. Need to be glued in.

I got this message from the recipient's mother:

He loves it, really! well-made drawer - shelf design. It's heartwarming when he settles down industriously using his art supplies.

over all a good gift for children but I feel that maybe you could have added few peices of paper. Thanks
