No-Spill Paint Cups & Brushes Assortment Review

No-Spill Paint Cups and Brushes Assortment
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This review is only for the paint cups, not the brushes. I have had these paint cups for several months. You get a lot of paint cups for your money, but the lids don't fit will on the cups. Each cup has top and bottom lid. The bottom lid is the spill proof part while the top lid provides a supposedly air tight seal. These cups are poorly manufactured; the fit of the lids was hit or miss or the 10 cups. Some bottom and top lids fit very snugly, but many were too loose (see my video review). All the lids were paint tight, but most were not water tight, and few were air tight.
For example, my 2 year old dropped a paint cup from about a 10 inch height and the entire lid popped off and paint went every where. So much for spill proof.
Also, after a few weeks the paint (we use Crayola washable tempera paint) became quite thick because the top lids are not air tight. Pros:
- you get a lot of paint cups for your money
Cons:
- top lids don't fit tightly which means the paint dries out
- poor quality control; some bottom lids are very tight others are rather loose
- not spill proof; bottom lids pop off too easily if cup is knocked overUPDATE: I purchased the Melissa and Doug paint cups. They are pricier, but solve all the problems I have with these cups. See my video review on the Melissa and Doug paint cup product page. I compare the Melissa and Doug and Chenille Kraft cups side by side.If you find this review helpful, let me know with your vote below.
