BTSKY Large Capacity Pencil Box, Office Supplies Storage Organizer Box, Brush Painting Pencils Storage Box Watercolor Pen Container Drawing Tools(6 Pack Clear)

Too small

I bought these to help cut down on the amount of large Crayola classpack boxes I have in my classroom and just get nicer looking storage containers for materials in general. I initially bought just 6 to try them out and am happy to report that each box can comfortably fit 72 regular size Crayola crayons. I will buy more in order to fit the rest of my colors.The only con I can foresee is that it seems extremely easy to pop the latches on the side, so I can imagine I’ll encounter needing to play 72-crayon-pick-up in my classroom at some point. Worth it since these boxes are nice and compact and will help save room in my supplies cabinets.And here’s probably what my fellow art teachers want to know from this review—1 box can hold one of the following groups of materials:-72 regular size crayons-54 regular size colored pencils-40 unsharpened 2B pencils-18 fine point Sharpies-21 ultra fine point Sharpies-9 regular size Crayola washable markers-22 thin size Crayola washable markers-8 regular size Mr. Sketch watercolor markers-8 0.24 oz glue sticks-9 regular size kids’ scissors-24 Safe-T compasses

I have suspicions about the rave reviews. These boxes are rather flimsy. I selected them because of the closing mechanism. Unfortunately, it is easily detached by accident. I don't trust it to reliably stay closed, so I resorted to putting a rubber band around it.

The boxes are horrible for the intended purpose of keeping items secure. The lid is completely loose without the latches, however the latches are extremely flimsy. There is absolutely no security, and these definitely can't travel anywhere without spilling.

I purchased this product for small groups where I wanted to add colored pencils, sticky notes, erasers, pencils, a hand pencil sharpener and tangible toys for kinesthetic learners. It is possible to find a pencil box that can fit it all, the dimensions for this one just didn’t do it. I blame it on myself for not properly thinking this through.Product doesn’t work for me, but that is not the product’s fault. They seem sturdy, and I like the side clasps along with the clear casing. Will return.
