This set came in a very sleek and sturdy box (within the Amazon packaging). Everything was packed tightly, which allows for little to no room for things to be thrown around during shipping. This is not the first thing I’ve ordered from Vremi, and it appears that they like to take the extra step in making sure their product stands out from others.Measuring Spoons: Although plastic, they seem very sturdy. I haven’t had any issues with bending or breaking (not that I’m necessarily using them for anything heavy, but they seem more durable than other plastic measuring spoons I own). My only big criticism is that the 1/2 Tablespoon and 1 Tablespoon measurers don’t fit into a standard spice bottle (see picture). No one wants to have to dump spices into the spoon and spill a bunch in the process. However, I only see this being an issue with dry items; I don’t know that any liquids would have the same issue. Each measuring spoon also has milliliter and gram measurements on it (see picture).Measuring Cups: The cup itself seems durable, but I do worry about the thin handles. I did use it to scoop into brown sugar (the hardest food I could think of that I frequently use measuring cups for), and the handle didn’t break, but I do wonder if they’ll weaken over time… HOWEVER, for now, they seem to get the job done just fine. I love that they sit within one another and don’t take up much space. The inside of the cups have a textured surface, which I assume is beneficial for not allowing as much food to stick to the inside when you dump it out, but since I haven’t noticed anything sticking, maybe it’s just the design that the company chose. I’m not a fan of the measurements only being etched into the bottom of each cup (see picture). I would have preferred to see them on the handles so I don’t have to unstack them all to look at the bottoms to find the size I need. Each measuring cup also has milliliter measurements on it (see picture).Bowls: The yellow bowl with pour spout is a nice little bowl. It has fill lines printed on the inside. I included a very edited picture of the fill lines – since it’s hard to capture the etched lines on yellow, I had to play around with the colors to get them to show up in the picture. I still haven’t found a use for those lines, but I’m excited for the day I figure out what I’d need them for! The mesh strainer is flexible and is likely made out of a soft plastic/nylon material. This is a plus because it won’t rust in the dishwasher like some of the metal strainers do. My only complaint about that strainer is the underside of the rim (see picture) holds a little water when washed in the dishwasher. The blue colander is a nice standard piece – there’s really not much more to say about it. I like the side of the red bowl and the fact that it has a rubber “no-skid” piece on the bottom (see picture).The box was the only place that mentioned anything about whether or not the products are dishwasher and microwave safe, other than the red bowl, which had a dishwasher safe icon etched into the bottom. Even the dishwater/microwave information on the box was under a sticker, so I really had to search for it (see picture).Overall, this is a great basic set at an awesome price. It would be fabulous for a college student, a couple moving into their first place, or even for someone that just likes to have an extra set of these items (because for anyone who cooks or bakes on a regular basis knows you really can’t have too many of these bowls and measuring utensils!). I love the colors in this set. While it’s not the best set ever, I think it’s one of the best options in it’s category.Edit: I had to knock off another star because of the measuring spoons. Even with hand washing them, the measurements have rubbed off the spoons, which makes them almost completely useless. (See picture)
