I licked it, it tasted of cheese 
Okay, seriously, yes, the wood grain as Gen mentioned. And the really apparent seam marks, as least on the ones I saw. I also didn't like the fake paint splotches on the palette, nor the under-sizedness of it (it's too short to stand at). I also don't think it was well researched since you don't paint watercolours (see the pad of paper) propped up. That it came with pencils also struck me as on the lame side. Soft or oil pastels, or conte would've been far more appropriate and original.
I don't own it, but that's because I've seen it in person and it is very cheesy looking. I'm not necessarily "oh no, plastic!", but in this case it was just very bad in execution.
