4.5 stars as they are great markers, easy to use and ink goes down in smoothly. Deducting half a star because mine did not come with adequate ink refill instructions. TIP: it is very easy to overfill the pens and then have VERY permanent ink splashing out of the pen and cap.

These are great markers. Nice, dark black, flows nicely with a good, sharp point. I find it easy to use in small areas and most mid areas, though I do reach for my refillable black markers in the brush tip for larger areas.

They were not what I was expecting, the markers are even better, they are just beautiful and easy to use I am worried about the bigger one possibly fraying at the ends as I use them. Other than that, they're beautiful and I love the two different sizes
