12 Piece Brush Set

I got to try this 12 Piece set of short handle brushes by US Art Supply. I am not sure if it's the brushes or the case but it's smells really bad. It's a strong chemical smell. I had to put it outside to air it out. Case is hard to fold, and awkward to zip up. Nice variety of brushes, included in this set: 1-Line Brush #1 1-Fan Brush #4 1-Fiber Brush #6 2-Angle Brushes #8 & #10 4-Round Brushes #2,#3,#5,#6 3-Flat Head Brushes #2,#6,#12 I had no problem with the bristles shedding. This is an okay set for the price. This could be good for kids, or a beginner.
