Yesterday I was very disappointed When I Took it out of the package. It was so light and thin, squeezed in some plastic bag. It Looked cheap and miserable. The worst thing Is that the silver plate is blue, Which made it even look cheaper. Not at all: as the description "Made in Germany". I even did not want to open it, just put it back to the box and plan to return it. But today I had a second thought after reading some commends. Then I Decided to take it out of the plastic bag. It looks a bit nicer without the plastic. And I found the plate is silver, just covered by a layer of blue plastic. But it is really very thin stainless steel, the edge is even a bit too sharp for holding it in hands. The plastic sticks are not smooth. One needs to polish it before using it. The little plastic thorns might hurt the finger guests. Some pointed commends did the sticks might fall if you put heavy on cheese. I just tried a mandarin, stable Seems If You Leave 2 cm at the end of the stick. For Avoiding the trouble, I am a bit hesitate to return it. I want to just keep it. A bit disappointed though ......
