Darice Stainless Steel Double Palette Cup Shopper Reviews



Darice Stainless Steel Double Palette Cup Shopper Reviews
If I could give this product 6 stars I would, the cups are bowed out in the center so that when your palette is tilted and the lids are off the medium won't spill out, it is stainless steel and the lid has a gasket making it air tight, you can leave your medium in for weeks even months and it will still be wet. I absolutely love this I have used other types of palette cups and most are pretty good but this one is the best I have ever used. Just giving my 2 cents

This wooden palette and double cup set is perfect for my oil painting needs. I love that the cups hook securely to the palette. The wood absorbs my colors on the edge to keep my colors in the same spot. And can be cleaned in the middle easily with baby oil. Thank you!

Excellent product that works very well. Caps screw on easily and rubber gasket seals them tightly. Solidly made and very nice quality for such an inexpensive item.

These are great palette cups. I purchased two of these and like that they seem air tight and are easy to open and close.

the size is perfect. easy to clean with a paper towel. clips great and also stand on the table without tipping.

I thought that it came with the palette as well due to the picture so I was slightly surprised when I received the item but it works great, very durable and fits any palette.

I bought this for my daughter for Christmas. She is a budding artist and I didn't want to invest alot of money. This is a great product and the price was great as well.

I was looking for an art-work board to use while sitting in my reclining chair.The typical 'lap-desk' wasn't the answer.Not one to give up on an idea, I kept using different descriptive words as I searchedon Amazon. I finally found what I hoped would work and I love it! The contouredside can be slanted to accommodate most any project.The board is extremely sturdy. I've had it for many months and it's stillin perfect condition. Darice specializes in arts and crafts products. This one is a winner!

What's to be said? I needed an inexpensive lap board and chose this model. It's OK. I like the melamine laminate, but overall, the board is thin and a little flimsy. "Adequate" is probably the best adjective...

I'm a beginning pen/pencil artist, and wanted a work board, without investing in a drawing desk. This was the perfect solution. With a book/towel to give it some height, it is perfect for my current needs.

I really like the fact that this drawing board has a durable plastic clip on it that won't scratch or tear something if you set it down on a leather couch. The drawing finish reminds me of a Formica kitchen top. Large rubber band included. Easy to clean smooth surface. Lightweight with a decent amount of room for drawing or writing. See my picture for a comparison to an average clipboard that is 8 � " x 12" size.Very satisfied with the purchase after only one day's use.

Love it, I must have for any artist! the clip is very strong, and three hole to hold it , is... Handy.

I use this size and the larger 26" model for pencil sketching. The large white surface is attractive but is a little bright under certain sun conditions, so glare can be a problem. The single (double on the larger model) paper clips are a black nylon material which is gentle to paper and appear sturdier than you might think. My only real gripe is with all the larger clipboards being made today; they're about 1/2 the thickness that they used to be and feel like they'll snap in two if dropped or any pressure is applied perpendicular to the board surface. Years ago these were a solid 1/8" to 3/16" and made of tempered masonite. The tempered thicker stock was heavier particularly in the larger sizes but felt much more substantial and was a trade off I was willing to make. Today you don't have a choice. The manufacturers reduced the material thickness to about 3/32" which makes the board less substantial than optimum and in the larger sizes can feel pretty flimsy. This is the case in every larger board I looked at and some weren't even tempered (which adds a desirable hardness to the surface). This model by Danice is the best of a sorry lot.
