Very pleasantly surprised by the quality of the product. The plastics are of good quality. They are not soft as often this type of article, but rather rigid. As against it is indeed mono-material injection (bi-color parties [such as green tail on the carrot] are painted). After 3 months of use (purchased in December 2014) we see paint chipping on the green parts. Our small dishes a little mouth. I think it is also chipping resulting from shock, but distrust if your children still take much mouth (or in case of little brother or sister). [Food quality paint ??] I leave it 5 stars because, despite this defect, it is a really great product to enjoy the kitchen imitation games.
