Royal & Langnickel 13pc Sketching Set

I thought all of these plastic play yards had the same mechanics of how they work, NOPE!! I was hesitant to buy this because it had only one review, without any description. But with returns in store being fairly easy, I took the gamble because it was on sale. I am so happy that I did! Many other versions have methods of locking the panels in place that involves a screwing motion, some by hand, some by a tool that comes with it that I would have put somewhere very very safe not to loose it… and then when the time came forgot where that safe place was. Most styles either tighten at the top or bottom to help keep the desired shape or configuration that you want. This style it snug at the top and bottom which I was super excited about. That's because at each of connections is like a zig zag circle(for lack of better description). The pointy parts hold it from spinning or coming loose. older babies or toddlers see a weak area, they attack it, so I'm grateful for the secure connection at the top and bottom! Also I preferred the anti slip bottom instead of suction cups on bottom. I bought the 18 panel option so that I'd have options on how I wanted it set up, or if I ever want to change it. I didn't use all of the panels with my current set up, so I'll store the extra few panels away. A negative for some people may be that this can't fold up accordion style, you have to disconnect each panel. I don't mind this because I'll keep the box it came in for when I want to fold it up and store, or bring it somewhere. I don't plan on moving it often. This thing is a sanity saver! Even if they cry, you know they're in a safe environment and you can go pee without rushing! LOL *TIP- when assembling, start with the gate panel! It only opens in one direction! That will determine the direction of the rest of the panels! It won't let me add photos from my cell phone 🤷🏻‍♀️ If I can figure it out I'll add some.

Ok so I've been into sketching since I was a kid. It was an escape. A sort of therapy for me. So I've learned my way around art supplies. I do like the the texture of the paper. If you're into sketching, you know there's a specific texture you need. This is good! I've already bought some for my kids! The pencil kit is very useful. Everything you need for a good picture! I love that there was charcoals included. And the pity eraser! I can't function without the putty eraser! Also happy about the shader thing… I don't like using my fingers for shading lol
