Promising review: "When this first arrived I was disappointed by the size. It is much smaller than I expected. But then I started loading pens into it and I was impressed with how much it can hold. I love having my pens sorted and ready so I don't have to search through drawers or boxes. I'm ordering another one!" —Kindle Customer

Promising review: "To all my fellow pen-lovers out there, these pens are PHENOMENAL. They are very fine-tip and do not smear or bleed through, which I love and often do not find in a gel pen. They are great for taking notes, and I wish I could buy a pack just of black ones because they surpass other pens in my book." —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "I mean... if you need a pencil sharpener, why wouldn't you buy the one that looks like a nose? I also love making my very serious contractor father use this when he is over and needs a pencil." —Lace A. Kuhn

Promising review: "I love this three-drawer storage organizer — I have them throughout my home and use them for nearly everything! I have them in my home office for pens, markers, office supplies, and they're in my bathroom for make-up, dental floss, etc. It is very sturdy and the quality is excellent. The clear panels make it very clear and easy to see what is inside." —Cindy L

Promising review: "I love them. They're super cute. I bought them for a friend first, but after I received my pack and I saw the pencils, I fell in love with them so I got my own. Again Kikkerland has a excellent service and they even sent me a gift with my purchase. The shipping also was very fast and I got they sent you an email with the tracking number so you can follow it." —Liliana Zapata

Promising review: "I love these pens! They are definitely not just for kids! I have started using these daily for taking notes while studying. The square shape of the pen provides a much more comfortable grip than a traditional round pen. It's a similar feel to my square knitting needles, which are known for preventing your hands from getting tired so quickly. Not only is the grip great, but the gel ink is very nice and flows evenly from the pens. I definitely recommend these pens for everyday use!" —Annelise M. Kromann
