Portable Wrought Iron Utensil (Picnic) Caddy

Best thing ever that I purchased for my family kitchen! I loathe paper plates and utensils, but living with a teenage boy and husband they are a neccesity to help manage dishes. This one item classed up the operation by having a go to spot on teh counter where everything presents well. The only thing is that I had to remove the top peice, because it is too tall with it. But again, i simply love this! if you purchase hte matching peices it will become a counter top mainstay to make everything appear extremely neat and functional!

I love this caddy, it has looks AND utility. I looked and researched everywhere for one of these, and I frequently read the same complaints on other models: the plate section would be narrow at the bottom so not suitable for holding a lot of plates, or that the napkin holder would be too small, or that the utensil containers were too small. However, I don't have any of the issues with this. I can fit a nice stack of paper dinner plates, as well as small dessert plates. The napkin compartment is a nice size, so you can fit just about any kind of standard commercial napkin inside. It is great for entertaining, because you can't miss it so people aren't scrambling around asking "where are the plates?" It fits enough utensils for a crowd. However, it is pretty enough that I just keep it on our countertop at all times as well instead of putting it away after special occasions.

Product is as advertised and handy -- only issue is that the side baskets are removable -- handy if you want 3 separate containers however, somewhat unbalanced if you leave them together -- each side basket is suspended from the middle basket and only the middle rests on the table making the caddy slightly unstable -- further, when one side basket is removed and the other is not, the entire caddy will fall over.

I'm torn, because I like the setup and the base seems pretty solid (the wire mesh seems a bit delicate though), and I like how it's compact enough that it can easily fit in small spaces while still holding all the items. However, before I could completely screw the handle into the top, the threading broke off into the base piece, so now I don't have a handle. Overall, I guess I would say it's a good product, but not worth $29 if it's going to break so easily.

Its bigger than I thought but the wind doesn't take it off the picnic table.

this is a great utensil caddy. nice and sturdy. good construction

Ideal for parties and family get togethers...

Very good!
