Consistent with the reputation of the Staedtler brand name, they are excellent quality pencils that perform very well. The color selection is lovely and varied, the pencils keep a sharp point, are great for fine lines and small details, sharpen well, and provide a smooth application. Last but most important, the Staedtler customer service is outstanding. They demonstrate that they value their customers through clear and steadfast actions. Regrettably, I cannot say that about desertcart. After extensive experience indulging in an embarrassing amount of colored pencil set purchases from professional artist quality to hobby brands, I have learned that the problems regarding colored pencil damage with quality brand names is due to desertcart’s negligence in shipping these fragile and breakable items in thin plastic bags even after numerous repeated requests to pack and ship appropriately. It is interesting to note that I ordered a set of 24 count desertcart colored pencils for $2.99 and they arrived triple wrapped in bubble wrap, packed in a thick strong protective carton and shipped in a second carton with some paper as a cushion. Contrarily, every other set of colored pencil sets I received, including Caran d’ Ache, Prismacolor, Derwent, Faber-Castell and all others were shipped in thin plastic envelopes.

The extra cost is WELL worth it *by A***N on May 3, 2026* I cannot say enough great things about these colored pencils♡♡♡♡♡♡ These have to be my all time favorite. I love the way I feel in your hand since they are not round , they have the edges on thm. They Also have a slightly rubbery feel coating on the outside of the pencil Which makes it easy to hold onto them. They sharpen wonderfully!!! They do not break much , and if they do, they sharpen right back up. The pigment is great! It is easy to use and make your colors dark or light. They don't smudge , unless you want them to. These are my favorite go to pencils!!!!!! ## Frequently Bought Together - Staedtler Colored Pencils, Triangular Barrel, 4mm, 72 Pieces (1278CM72A6) - Staedtler Double Hole Pencil Sharpener, Two Holes for Standard Pencils, Large Colored Pencils, and Makeup Pencils, 512 001 BK - Prismacolor Premier Pencil Sharpener --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/476448447-staedtler-triangular-colored-pencils-set-72-pack-ergonomic-colored-pencils](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/476448447-staedtler-triangular-colored-pencils-set-72-pack-ergonomic-colored-pencils) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-06-05*
