they are okay [SEP] these are okay brushes for the price there was quite a bit of bristles falling out from the brush before i could even open the package however even with that fallout there still looked like there was a bunch of bristles so as long as they do not continue to fall out i think it is fine if you are looking for a soft brush this is not it the bristles are very firm and scratches easily so you have to use a pretty light touch the presentation is as the picture shows nice wood and the hangers look good although i have not put them up yet because i am still deciding if i want to keep them
