I gifted this basket to a little boy and his mother at our church and they were enrapt by the craftsmanship and beauty. My only qualm would be that the plates' rims are a little thick so the plates themselves don't quite fit the sandwiches. It might have been neat if the items (cups and plates) stack as well! But seeing as they're meant to be enjoyed as two different place settings and can be stored in the basket, this is not such a big deal! Truly beautiful set.
