filmsy and overpriced

The plastic is rather thin, but as of yet I haven’t had any issues with it staining.

Great LARGE palettes with a few minor drawbacks:The GOOD: Lots of wells to hold a ton of watercolors , , , Ample mixing areas in the middle . . . Deep wells hold pretty good amount of paint . . . multiple palettes stack really well for easy storage . . . recessed area on the lid is actually a great place to make a color chart and color wheelThe NOT SO GOOD: Plastic is fairly flimsy and thin . . . had to add a pretty significant amount of gum arabic to my watercolors so they didn't fall out when they dried. . . . it's big so definitely better suited to studio painting and not taking into the field.Overall it's still a five star palette, considering the relatively low price and the large number of wells. My wife and I both use this palette and we both really like it.

Good value, well made, but make sure to check the size, cause is huge, and at least for me it takes too much space. So make sure is convenient for you to use.

This pallet is supposed to be good for studio work and travel. However, I found that it is too flimsy for travel. It is made out of a kind of plastic that reminds me of plastic picnic cups. It is thicker of course but bends easily and I can tell that it would not hold up well being tossed around in a bag or backpack put under too much pressure. The trays are a decent size and the painting palette surfaces are a good broad size. However, it is too big for travel unless packed in an oversized suitcase. The edges are very sharp and the lid (mine came with a lid) fits okay on top but is not airtight. It would leak easily. Based on these issues, not being what it was supposed to be, and based on the high price for these things that did not live up to the advertisement, I returned mine.

I was hoping that this might be a little more substantial but it will do for now.. I would be wary of dropping it, the plastic will surely break off. Very lightweight which is a plus for taking to a workshop and large mixing areas. The cover fits well and is fairly snug. Probably larger than I need but keeping it anyway.
