Took the family to see STOMP. It was a great show. Upon returning home, my husband and sons decided to do a reprise on every kitchen surface with my wooden spoons. I'm sure it seemed like a good idea at the time and they had fun but it resulted in many casualties in the ranks of my wooden utensils. I was putting together an order from Wayfair anyway so I added this bamboo set to the basket. They arrived promptly and have been working out great. The colorful handles are cheery, they do their job on the stovetop, and they go through the dishwasher beautifully. I've read that bamboo is quite structurally strong but I'm still going to discourage any further STOMP impressions. Good product.
