This review is based on initial impressions, since I just received the set. If I have any issues after using the items for a while, I will update the review.This set is very nice, and the desk pad is exactly what I wanted. Everything arrived in perfect condition, which I was worried about the desk pad being large, it would be easy to damage. The felt on the bottoms of the pieces is okay, we will see how it holds up. They chose to line the pen cup with felt, which I would not have done, but if it is battered with use, at least it won't show. Overall, I am happy with the purchase!
