Mechanical Pencil

Bought this as a gift for my mom, so I tested it out before giving it to her.

Based on what the previous reviewer said, I did notice that the point was receding into the body of the pencil when I pressed down really hard/heavily while writing. Checked the pencil out and realized that the gold tip was slightly loose/not fully screwed in all the way, so I tightened it and the point held its position well after that. If you're heavy-handed or typically apply a lot of pressure when writing, the point will recede, but the pencil writes just fine with a lighter hand (or at least for me it does). Didn't experience any snapping or breaking off or the point, or it digging out parts of itself when pushing back up into the pencil body. I was able to easily scribble a quick note, jot down a message or phone number, and add items to a grocery/shopping list (things I know my mom would mainly use it to do).

And ofc, the obvious plus, it's very beautiful. She loves florals so I know she'll love the look of this and feel quite nice while using it!
