I was so worried that these were going to be awful. I was wrong, oh so wrong. The bristles are so soft, unlike others I've paid way more for, these are all very smooth and not frayed. The blending works so much better with smooth bristles. I like the small variety in this set. The small one works for the smaller areas I needed to blend out, and the large one worked like a dream. The large one held the paint way better than I expected to with such soft bristles. I was shocked. With that being said I was also worried it would be harder to clean, nope such an easy cleaning process. I used hot water and some liquid soap and boom done deal. Great brushes for such a low price. I am amazed!

Very happy with how well these shorter brushes did with thick gel medium and Mod Podge application. Good sized handles made controlling the brush strokes so easy. Great price, excellent quality, the bristles were firmly attached with no shedding, very easy to clean with soap and water with water based mediums.

These are nice brushes and I love the art I can create with them, my only complaint is that the bristles do tend to come out frequently when starting use. I can’t complain much since they are exactly what I needed at a fair price. Over all I am satisfied with my purchase.

For the price, these are really nice brushes. They hold paint well and apply paint smoothly. I've used these with chalk paint, acrylic craft paints and mod-podge and they worked well for all three. Some of the bristles on the 2 larger brushes fall out and get stuck in the paint but for 6 bucks, I don't expect perfect brushes and overall they're great.

These brushes worked good for small, tight areas. I used them around window trim and they worked great. They held the paint, they did not shed, and they were easy to clean. They were also comfortable in your hand.

Average brush for a reasonable price. The bristles in the brush began to fall out as soon as I cleaned the brush. I usually clean a brush before I use it. I then judge a brush by several standards, and one of those is the amount of bristles it loses during cleaning and the condition of those bristles. These bristles indicated the brush wasn't constructed properly. Also, a large number of bristles fell out while I was cleaning the brushes. If this is an indication of how the brush will work while painting, then I won't be able to use these brushes for anything except showing my students what not to buy.

Quality is cheap but strong enough for mix media or acrylic which is why I purchased these brushes. Stiffness good. Functional for applying paint mediums such as watercolor ground and acrylic mediums.

Poor quality . Very unevenly cut bristles. Bristles constantly fall out when barely pulled on. Horrible when trying to paint with the brushes. Bristles stuck in the paint and ruing artwork. Price was cheap. You get what you pay for. Never ordering again.
