I haven't used these yet but have other Terrages in my pastel box. These arrived promptly and intact, ready to use when I need them. Colors are bright and I look forward to using them this week.

I’m enjoying the gritty mark-making nature of these vivid primaries. I applaud Dakota for their packing and truly speedy delivery, too!

I love the vibrancy of these pastels. Can't be beat. The rectangular shape comes in handy. That said, and this is my second time purchasing them, they do not hold up in shipping and have a tendency to crumble. Granted to the USPS a box of pastels is just a box among a million other boxes. That said these pastels were perfectly packed with more than enough cushioning by Dakota Pastels. Perhaps Diane Townsend could use more or a different binder.

They are great, arrived in good shape and are fun to use.
