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

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 like this product. Its doable and its worth the money. Very handy and convenient to move around with. Ive used it quite a bit since I purchased it. Later when Im on my computer, Ill upload a few samples.

I purchased this as a Christmas gift for my 15 year old and she was ecstatic. Unfortunately for me, it did not arrive until after Christmas (thats what happens when you order it a few days before hand) but it was well worth the wait. It arrive shortly after Christmas (faster than I thought) and she is over the moon. Everything was well packaged, looked great, and I am so happy with the contents!

Perfect Xmas perfect for someone who likes to draw.

Great product. Worth the money.

I like the whole kit but there wasn’t instructions on what each tool inside the kit is used for and how and when to should come with some type of tutorial...

Disgusting!!! COVERED IN MOLD.

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

It has everything like the picture. I bought it for my daughter and she loves it.

I hated this. I bought this for myself and I would never gift it to anyone else. In this kit it’s quantity over quality. There’s a lot of stuff, but it over all is flawed. The pencils are great don’t get me wrong but the kneaded eraser wasn’t it. Along with the charcoal. The stuff in the kit was bad but not as bad as the sketch book itself. THIS is the thinnest paper I’ve ever worked on. It’s in no case 70 lbs. which it says it is. It won’t hold water colour. Or even pencil. Which by the way, just rips through it. Or the paper begins to tear up. I suggest looking else where. Or making a little kit yourself with good quality single bought items.
