FOME Empty Watercolor Half Pan Boxes is rated 4.9 out of 5 by 8.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Bill the watercolorist from Fome boxes are the best! Worth the money. Fome makes the best watercolor boxes. Two features distinguish these boxes from other watercolor boxes. One, they have a better system for holding the pans inside the box, it is both more secure and less likely to damage your brushes. Two, the mixing area is shaped to hold a wash; most mixing areas in other boxes are flat and therefore a wash sort of puddles in one section, but these are angled so that the wash stays in an area - this allows you to be more accurate when mixing a paint solution. In addition to the two points listed, these boxes are of a nicer, slightly heavier metal than other similar watercolor boxes.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Mary77 from Very Compact I bought this and needed it to put some new Winsor Newton colors to use. Overall I liked this product except I wish it had a foldout pallet area in the front as well. The larger box has the front area but the small does not. It would further help protect the colors and allow me an area to put sample swatches of the colors. I am using the box and find it very useful and compact.

Rated 5 out of 5 by genealogist from Works well I bought this for a trip and it worked well. A friend showed me how to make a cover for the paint wells so they don't spill out so badly; wish there were an extra, tight cover besides the mixing surface, but I don't think any other brand has this either. It is sturdy and well-made, the half-pans fit well, and I particularly like the mixing surface which doesn't bead.

Rated 5 out of 5 by susan l from great product this product was exactly what I expected; so happy I made the purchase. Its a little heavier than I anticipated but thats OK too. the product arrived timely. I would likely buy it again or buy a second one for an additional selection of colors -- 24 half pans is really nice

Rated 5 out of 5 by Barb the Painter from So cute!! The eight 1/2 pan Fome box is the cutest thing. I got this to replace a breath mint box I was using that was rusting. Once I figured out how to work the dividers the 1/2 pans fit in nice and secure. I love the thumb ring on the bottom. Much more controllable with the ring. I'm using 8 pans right now but I may eventually fill up the middle row with 4 more. I keep this little kit in the glove compartment of my car so I'm ready to do a quick sketch at any time.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Anonymous from Simplicity with Versatility Painting en plein air requires compactness and flexibility. This palette meets all this and more. Mixing lid's surface is designed to mix without beading and mixing wells are ample for washes. Nice to be able to change the colors without the mess. Wished I had this palette years ago.
