I ordered 3 of these during the Crayola back to school sale with the intention of using the bins and their contents (plus some extra supplies) to make age-appropriate art sets for my 6 homeschooled kids. I based my decision to order on the description which, when I ordered the item, and as of the writing of this review, the description states: "The Art & Craft Kit Includes: 16ct Metallic FX Crayons, 16ct Glitter Crayons, 12ct Colored Chalk, 10ct Broad Line Markers, 4ct - 0.5oz Model Magic (White, Yellow Green, Orange, Sky Blue), 2 - 6ct Paint Pot Strips, 1 Paint Brush, 1 Blunt Tip Scissors, 2 Shape Cutouts, 25 Construction Paper Sheets, and Project Ideas Booklet" So let's break that down... 16ct metallic crayons? nope. 16ct glitter crayons? Yes! 12ct chalk? Yes! 10ct broad line markers? Nope. 4ct .5oz model magic in 4 colors? Nope. 2x6ct paint strips? Nope. 1 paint brush? Nope. 1 pair scissors? Nope. 2 shape cutouts? Nope. 25ct construction paper sheets. If you consider 6.75x5" pages to be "sheets" then yes. 1 project ideas booket? Nope. We did receive: -12ct packs of: half-sized pencil crayons, chalk - 8ct packs of: washable pip-squeak skinnies markers, ultra clean washable markers (broad nib) - 16ct packs of: construction paper crayons, regular crayons, glitter crayons - 1 glue stick - 25ct packets of: 6.75x5" construction paper, 6.75x5" coloring pages In case you aren't keeping track, that means we got 3, yes THREE, of the items actually listed in the description. All 3 bins are identical. The bins themselves are fairly nice, sturdy, and so much larger than their contents that a cardboard square was used to hold the packages of crayons and such around the outer edge to give the appearance of fullness. They measure approximately 15" long x 9" wide x 7.5" tall. They are tough to open, even my 12 & 14 year-olds have trouble with them. They have carry handles, as well. I do wish the labels weren't printed directly into the plastic of the bins so I could make my own labels more easily, but that's whatever. Despite being unhappy with them overall, I won't be sending them back for three reasons: 1) The photo does correctly display the included items, but I wasn't paying attention to it (my bad). 2) I promised the kids art bins by the end of the week and the week is half over. 3) Shipping them back would be a huge pain due to the size of the bins (they didn't all arrive in one box). Rating this item in stars was difficult. If I were to rate it based on the description when I purchased it, it wouldn't get any stars at all. If I rate it purely based on the quality of the items I did get it would be a 5-star item, taking price into consideration (I feel its a bit overpriced) I'd give it 3.5 stars. All together I've decided to go with 3 I can't do half stars, Crayola products are generally great quality-wise, and because even if I didn't get what was listed in the original description what I did get are all items I would have (and in a few cases did) order to add to the bins anyways. UPDATE: The description has been changed to accurately reflect the contents of this box, which is great, however, I feel like the full asking price is too much for what you get. The $18 I paid for them while they were on sale was a better deal. I spent a few minutes looking and found that, since many of the items here don't standardly come in such small packages, you'd be able to put together a similar kit with container for about $30, but you'd end up with full-sized pencil crayons, 96 full sheets of construction paper, a 400 page coloring book, and twice as many pip-squeaks markers. If it's purely a matter of convenience and wanting an already assembled kit, that's up to you and whether or not you feel comfortable paying a bit of a premium for that convenience; If convenience isn't an issue you could assemble something comparable at a dollar store or similar for probably $12-15 and likely still end up with more overall and full sized items. Alternately you could spend more now but get a better per-item price by buying some of the items in bulk, which would take care of the inevitable calls of "I'm out of paper!" or "My crayons are all gone!".
