the division is really great. in the large bowl suits just the right amount for a satiating lunch salad. the use of three equal compartments is great for cheese, eggs, cooked ham, etc. One star less I have given because the dressing container is a bit too small for me, but I use this now just for roasted seeds and the lid closes the salad bowl is not 100%. Thin fluids (juice / water from salad dressings or remnants of a liquid) may leak. So here is recommended but an additional bag. The dressing containers in the center is very close to my experience. I use (and also my husband: D) use the salad bowls now every day for work and study. We do not want to miss!
