Prismacolor 3599TN Premier Colored Pencils, Soft Core, 72-Count
Thick, robust leads resist cracking and chipping making them perfect for adult coloring books.
Reviews
"I bought this 150 set of Prismacolor pencils before about 2 weeks now and did some drawings ."
"This is a great set."
"When I first opens the box, the pencils looked so ordinary that I was a little sad. Here, I added a picture of a black kitty I drew on an A4 size sketch book. It cost me a little more than half an inch of the black color pencil. I will definetly buy a delux of 150 colors later when I have more pocket money."
"Here is what the 72 count set of colors looks like... I only wish that I would have bought one of the larger count sets since I am always looking for additional colors. If you are having challenges with sharpening them there is a you tube video about it and how you should always turn the pencil, not the sharpener, in the same continuous direction. There were even explanations on how many you should put into an electric sharpener and then manually sharpen one because they overheat and break the leads!"
"Having recently purchased a large set for my older daughter on Amazon, I can say with 100% confidence that this brand has declined STEEPLY in quality. Her new set came with SERIOUSLY off-centered leads, wooden shafts that are either cracked or completely different colors from one half to the other, and most concerning, the cores in many of the pencils seems to be waxier and clumps/flakes no matter what we do. I believe that many of the higher reviews for this product are from before the company began cutting corners...a search online will quickly reveal that cracked wood, broken leads, off-centered cores, and other issues have been present for several years now."

Reviews
"The paper feeds thru Laser Printers as well as Inkjet printers, with paper either standing vertical feed or laying flat feed printers."
"I have always liked the 5-ream pack-see GP Copy & Print Paper, 8.5 x 11 Inches Letter Size, 92 Bright White, 20 Lb, 5 Reams/Carton (2500 Sheets). I am extremely satisfied with this paper, the size of the box, the convenience, the packing (if you buy more than one box), basically everything! And, in all this time I have not had a "beat-up" box of paper delivered. Update: 8/27/2014 -- I have tried other deals on the 10-Ream Cartons GP Spectrum Premium Multi Use Paper, 8.5 x 11 Inches Letter Size, 92 Bright White, 10 Reams/Carton (5000 Sheets) that occasionally appear, but each time the office staff has asked that we go back to using this economical, very convenient and easy to handle 3-Ream Pack. Update: 2/18/2015 -- I tried GP Spectrum® 96 Multipurpose Paper at a good price."
"We must go through 3 cases per week in our office, (which is a busy medical center)."
"Well, the paper is good."
"This brand is okay to use."
"nice to have it delivered and not have to lug it from the store."
"Satisfied although relatively light weight (see thru)."
"Papers packets were broken when it arrived."

Reviews
"love this padfolio."
"Good quality."
"Product Review: We started the home building process and throughout it all, it involves a lot of paper work, organization and safe keeping. We had one of those plastic file organizers with the elastic band in the front but that wasn't durable enough. We wanted something that gave us the look that we are serious home buyers and keep things tidy for us."
"Really loving this quality padfolio and its design!"
"Personally, if I were interviewing someone for a job, I would have a more favorable impression of someone that used a padfolio or portfolio than if they didn't. This padfolio says "I care about my work, I'm organized, I will pay attention to details, and I have my life together.""
"I use it on the go when I'm meeting with clients, very easy to take down notes and carry information such as resumes etc."
"Product definitely has a quality look and feel."
"I've only had this for a couple of weeks but so far I really like this particular padfolio."

"I love to stay organized but I have a hard time remaining positive in my environment. I was SUPER motivated, I kept looking at it to not only take care of my tasks but to continuously see that positivity. This is the best thing you can do for your mental and physical health that is drug free and works immediately!"
"I wish I had counted the weeks/days before numbering it because I would have returned it :(. Update: I reached out to the seller and was issued a full refund within 12 hours, no questions asked."
"Since there was only one review, I was a little worried about buying this planner, but figured I'd take the risk and return it if it wasn't any good. But I noted that a lot of other organizers' reviews were mostly from people who got the item for free in return for a "fair review"."
"EDIT: 1/23/17. Due to computer errors the distributor has contacted me directly and was absolutely wonderful about his fixing his product. EDIT: After No Response or even acknoweldgement from the distributor I have lowered my rating to 1 star. Also makes me look more professional when I open up a little black book instead of sifting through my phone to my calendar."
"There are 6 month pages but this doesn't correspond to the number of weekly pages which makes this over priced and not at all thought through carefully."
"The concept is fantastic however, it only has room for 6 months (at a glance calendar) and 16 weeks for the weekly and 90 days for the daily."

Best Office Carrying Cases

AmazonBasics 15.6-Inch Laptop and Tablet Bag
Accessory storage pockets for portable mouse, iPod, cell phone and pens.
Reviews
"Unfortunately, there are no corner guards or even any sort of corner padding AT ALL, just the thickness of the fabric. A 2ft fall resulted in a large deformation on the corner of my MacBook."
"This is a pretty nice bag which I bought to store, and carry, my Samsung Chromebook."
"I got it as a computer bag, but have ended up carrying it every day like a messenger bag, even whem I'm not using a computer. I've looked at canvas messenger bags, but most don't have any padding... which I do want for when carrying a computer and this has it."
"The 11.6 inch fit my Google Chromebook perfectly."
"The handle strap is very convenient, wide handle."
"Fits my 11.6 inch Acer Chromebook with charger and mouse or my Samsung Tablet with portable keyboard very well."
"The case was great and fit my Toshiba Satellite snug and securely. "Nah, that's just a once in a blue moon scenario" I told myself after reading it. I shuddered the same phrase as I watched the case fall corner first. Opened the bag to find my 850 dollar laptop with a dented frame and shattered screen."
"The combination of these two problems has led to my laptop suffering corner damage from falling onto pavement when I picked up my bag by the strap, and it decided to let go."

Best Office Cutting Tools

Swingline Paper Trimmer / Cutter, Guillotine, 12" Cut Length, 10 Sheet Capacity, ClassicCut Lite (9312)
Safety features include protective guard rail and blade latch hook. Durable plastic construction makes paper trimmer lightweight and easily portable; alignment grid and dual scale ruler for precise measuring.
Reviews
"Works OK."
"I wish it didn’t have the bar where you have to put what you’re cutting under- beside the blade- so I could use it for longer/larger sizes."
"Great product just not professional grade (whatever that is) material... Would buy again!"
"I prefer the longer paper cutter since I tend to cut a lot of longer laminate with it."
"I imagine mine is slightly defective since it doesn't cut square when lining it up against the positive stop along the back."
"This cutter is very precise and does a great job."
"Cons: The biggest, and the reason for my low rating, is that the handle/blade/grid are not properly aligned. Also, the latch that is supposed to hold the handle down rarely secures it for more than a few minutes. Finally, you must hold the paper down close to the guard bar or you'll get slippage toward an incorrect cut. It's sad because this one still cuts but the hassle of never having even pages without a few extra steps is more than I want to deal with right now."
"I’m assuming my was faulty because it seems like no one would be satisfied with the safety concern of the arm swinging back down."

Reviews
"This weekend I drilled a hole in the top portion of the desk and attached the mount using the 4” grommet. When I ordered the mount, I didn’t realize that the 4” grommet would work for passing it through a desk with a hole in it. It has allowed me to have the left monitor arm fully extended and then the right one it adjusted to be next to it. My opinions are solely mine and are NOT influenced by anything other than the QUALITY and PERFORMANCE of this particular product."
"The clamp and pole are quite a bit heavier than you'd imagine looking at the picture. I opened this late at night after the kids were asleep excited to get everything mounted, only to find the bolt that clamps the arms onto the pole wasn't included. Unfortunately, because I opened it so late, there was nothing I could do and had to let everything sit in a pile until the next morning when I could run to the hardware store to get a bolt."
"But, the top shelf of the standing desk was holding my monitors, and that space was completely wasted. I bought this mount, hesitant and the monitors belong to my company and I didn't want to risk them on something that might fail."
"My desk is not a big computer desk and I used the attachment to mount it on the table (not through the table). Also easy to put your monitors on it."
"I own two 24" monitors and although the arms, pole and desk mount work about as I would expect, the rotation design is pretty bad. If a speck of dust hits the top part on the left or right side of one of the monitors, or your cat's tail brushes the monitor, the entire monitor begins to rotate (see provided picture)."

Reviews
"Great little safe!"
"The small round light came with magnets that stick to the inside top of the safe."
"Great safe."
"It feels well made and solid and will definitely stop any casual thief or keep kids away from medications or dangerous items. There is a small hole in the center of it - take a small screwdriver or paperclip and poke it in there and move it around until you feel the speaker fabric rip apart."
"Bought one for our soccer concession stand and bolted it to the wall."
"I settled on this because of my past positive experience with Amazon and the unbeatable price point. I have it bolted inside of a large solid wood wardrobe. While not completely impervious, it would take some time and considerable effort for a burgular to compromise it. I went to Home Depot and bought some heavy duty bolts, drilled holes in the solid wood wardrobe backing and fixed shelf, and securely bolted it down. The keypad is not lighted, so you will want to keep a small flashlight close buy in case you need to access it in the dark."
"DO NOT PURCHASE THIS SAFE."
"The safe can be defeated by a simple BIC pen in under five seconds."

Best Labelers & Label Rolls

Brother P-touch TZe2312PK 1/2 - inch Standard Laminated Tape, Black on White, 26.2 Feet (2-Pack)
Compatible with all Brother P-touch TZ Machines, this Two Tape Value Pack features black print on white tape. Brother TZe tape comes in a variety of colors and sizes.
Reviews
"I would advise to try the extra strength adhesive tape."
"Two tapes (each just out of the wrapper) in a row just stuck and pulled the ink layer into the label, ruining the carts."
"The TZe tapes are completely compatible and can be used in any P-Touch that requires TZ replacement tapes."
"I love my P-touch label maker."
"Not only was the outer package full retail, but the individual tape was sealed as well."
"Several different styles and size of type face and colors of labels."
"While this version of the printer tape has some tremendously helpful improvements versus previous Brother label types, it also has a terrible issue that negates all of the good things.....it TANGLES (much like cassette audio tapes used to tangle up as they wore out), most often just after it has printed out the first or second label of the cassette. Hopefully reviews like this on a major selling platform like Amazon might be picked up by the company.........and perhaps they will take note of the fact that they have made it difficult for consumers to contact them and make any kind of connection regarding their product."
"I just received these and haven't had a chance to use them, but I was very surprised to see that the labels I received where from China and not "P-Touch" labels at all."

"I will continue to buy these boxes for my file storage needs."

"Average yield for basic word docs is around 1500-1800 before is says you are low on toner."
"I also like that they include a box to mail back free the old cartridge."
"Love my brother laser printer, it was recommended to me that it is a good policy when buying a laser printer to get the toner refill on the premise that they don't go bad and by the time you have need to replace the toner so much time is likely to have past that it will be difficult to get the model that you need!"

"Just note these are the SMALL rolls... which isn't that clear from the pic (or estimating how much 800 inches is in your head).

Scotch Sure Start Shipping Packaging Tape with Refillable Dispenser, 1.88 in x 38.2 yd (3450S-RD) (These are 38.2 yard on the larger roll - just less tape than the normal large roll)."
"Unlike other people let me start by saying that I bought this item at full price and received no compensation for writing this review.i do a lot of packaging and this tape is tough, I have gone thru several rolls and it did not tear on me and get stuck on the roll like other brands, when taping boxes it is tough and sticks well, each roll is ready to go on its own dispenser, a winner product ..."
"I always take the paper place holder out of the area by the cutter, but I can never thread the tape INTO that same location, which would hold the tape in place."
"(Those may be better for large boxes or people with large hands, but I find this tape with the cutting edge built-in to the roll to work better for me.)."
"In all of the years I've been shipping I've only had one bad batch (and I've been through a lot of tape) and the company easily fixed my problem. Don't be lured to by some of the other cheap tapes if you really want to make sure your packages arrive to their destination!"
"However, with six rolls of tape, I can do more than just pack and wrap leftover yard sale items offered to unsuspecting online shoppers."

Reviews
"I really like the water color pencils because after you are done coloring you add the water and it covers every little missed spot with color!!."
"My mom has been "coloring" with the adult coloring books, so I really wanted to try to draw free hand instead of using the books. In fact, My mom and I had an "art" day and as she was coloring in her book with her set of 48 pencils and kept looking over going, man you have a lot of colors. For those who are not familiar with watercolor pencils, you can actually (using heavier weighted paper) color an area, then dip your brush in water and run your brush across the color. All around this in an excellent set of artist quality colored pencils. I did receive these at a discounted rate for my honest and unbiased review but fully recommend these to anyone who loves to color in the new adult coloring book or to those who love to color freehand!"
"The photos show top left box brush to pencil. Top right side of box shows drawn on paper with water applied."
"These are exactly what I wanted and I am excited to try the water color part of them because that is another reason I got them to try a new medium in my art projects."
"Good set for my daughter."
"Lots of different colors, mid range quality set, nice tin to store them in."
"Great quality coloring pencils."
"They are very special and I hope the recipient who received them from me enjoys them."

Best Drawing Crayons

Pentel Arts Aquash Water Brush Assorted Tips, Pack of 3 (FRHBFMBP3)
Style: Pack of 3 Sizes. Easy-to-squeeze barrel and unique valve system allows you to control the flow of water.
Reviews
"I use the medium for brush lettering. To use: Watercolor: Fill the tube with water and you can start!"
"I would say the brush tips compare favorably to the Derwent, Faber-Castell, Niji, and Kuretake brands."
"We can paint in the yard, or we can just paint inside without dealing with little kids spilling water cups. Fading: Water runs through the brush slowly as you paint, so if you are painting, you will eventually run out of paint and just have water on the brush."
"I got the idea from a picture on Google i found a while ago with one of these water brush's filled with black drawing ink."
"They hold a tip quite nicely, even after vigorous washing and painting. To transition between colors, I just squeeze out some water from the water tank and swish the brush tip on a napkin until the tip turns clear and no traces of the previous color are left (this takes hardly any time at all, maybe a few seconds). I find that it is sometimes difficult to control the opacity created with these brushes as the water comes out in fluctuating amounts. Thus, I find it difficult to get an even wash with these brushes, even the large brush (although, it's usually quite hard to achieve an even wash even with a quality synthetic or sable size 8 round)."

"For the price, a fantastic little food scale."
"I purchased this scale mainly to help me track my food intake as part of a basic diet and nutrition plan. [...]. PROS. * Small profile doesn't take up a lot of counter space. * Allows for measurements in a variety of units (grams, ounces, pounds, etc). * The "tare" button is the best feature because it lets me zero out the weight of a container like a small plate or bowl, and only weigh the food that I put inside that container or bowl. * Lightweight and easy to move around, store, or travel with."
"I used it to measure out everything from beef jerky and baked chips to chicken and turkey for on the grill."
"After receiving the Ozeri scale, I tested with my calibration weigh and the scale provided consistent results; $45 scale is out, and the $14 scale is in."
"As many reviewers have noted, the display is small and thoughtlessly placed relative to the scale platform, so yes, your view is obstructed when using bigger dishes. I honestly thought I would not be vexed by this, but I have to admit it does get rather annoying to have to keep bending down to get a view of the readout. It has helped me tremendously while recording my meals, I haven't had to replace the batteries since I purchased it several months ago, it does automatically go off but in an appropriate amount of time (I've never had it go off on me while I was cooking), it has several different units of measurement, and the tare option works great."
"Love this scale."
"It's hard to tell if those who slammed this product really have bad scales or just expect too much (or have a strong ceiling fan on overhead) but mine works great."
"If you have something larger than the top plate to measure, it can be a little difficult to see the readout."

INDUSTRY LEADING PRINTING INK – These block printing inks receive rave reviews from artists and students for good reason.
Reviews
"Inks are relatively expensive, and this well-priced starter set provides perfect quantities and palette range for me to experiment with."
"A good starter set for block printing - I had been using leftover screen printing ink, and wondered what the difference was - this proper block printing ink drys a lot slower, allowing you to squeeze just what you need onto your glass for each pull and keeping the brayer from clogging or drying out too quickly."
"Sure, a good starter set."
"I liked the fact it was a cheap set of inks to experiment with.."
"Me and my children had a blast making Christmas gifts with this starting set."
"We used this to do printmaking with foam printing plates in conjunctions with the Melissa and Doug Block printing paper."
"tubes were smaller than I pictured, but good product."
"Inks worked great."
