Excellent! I can fit in some extra half or whole pans in the middle space instead of a travel brush or pencil. Hard case, seems durable and feels solid. Really impressed by the white finish on the flat interior mixing palette lid. This is somewhat coarse to prevent running/pearling. Deep wells in the lid make for good washes. Great! Four of five stars because the lip of the lid goes over the edge of the box on one side if a little pressure is applied. Recommended.
