Good value set for using less plastic
I gotta say I was a little hesitant buying this. At the time, there wasn't very many reviews and I base ALOT of my buying on the reviews of others. But I took a chance. The price point was pretty good for the amount of items you get. Everything came nicely put in a recyclable box, no plastic anywhere which is a big plus. The bags are nice and sturdy, as I have had the set now for about 6 months I think and everything has held up really nicely except the bamboo eating utensils. First off, if you are not used to eating with bamboo, its a big change. After several washings of the utensils, they became rough and unusable. I actually had to toss them. Food smell would still be imbedded even after washing and it wasn't something I enjoyed. The spoon ended up getting little slivers of bamboo that would fall out in my mouth or in my food. Ummm ya, no thanks. The rest of everything is still going good. Straws are nice, easy to clean. Came with the straw cleaning brush too. Overall, I think this is a nice starter set. This would make a great gift to anyone slowing doing their part to save our planet from the gobs of plastic that is killing it.
