TOTKEN Chopsticks, 9 Inch Japanese Natural Wooden Chopsticks Reusable and Durable 5 Pairs Lightweight Wood Chopsticks for Sushi, Pasta, Or Chinese Japanese Dishes with Gift Box(Red)

I have built a card "light blocker" around my computer monitor at work, to block out irritating light bulbs in line-of-sight from my desk in an open-plan office. Unfortunately my light blocker lacked structural integrity, and the card had began to flop and bend in a manner that was aesthetically unappealing and which was putting strain on sellotape between the card and the monitor.I am using these chopsticks as lightweight struts to provide the missing structural integrity. They do a perfect job. They are also black, which matches the card, and that was an important consideration for me.I'm pretty sure they would be good as chopsticks too.

I would like to review these chopsticks for you, but unfortunately the box arrived empty. I am sure someone somewhere is enjoying my chopsticks, but I will have to make do with a fork until I find somewhere else to get my sticks from.

Let me admit that I am no pro at using chop-sticks to begin with. These chop-sticks however, while look and feel nice, are tricky to use. I often find myself accidently dropping food. My very complex hypothesis is because the chop-sticks are rounded but also get very slim towards the end. I believe this makes it that the food you pick up is held by a tiny amount of stick and therefore requires more precision/effort from the chop-stick user.At the end of the day, I want to enjoy eating my food and using these chop-sticks makes me having to focus too much. They are nice but if you're like me, I'd consider something else.

Update:It seems the product I received was an isolated issue.I missed the 1 month return window (because I completely forgot about it) but was still contacted by the manufacturer who was shocked to learn about my dissatisfaction. By the time they contacted me, they had hired more staff for quality control so this wouldn't happen again and politely apologised. They offered a replacement pair and I have to admit, it is better than what I expected for this price. They look great, not a single pair is bent and so far they look good as new after a few uses.I was satisfied enough by the support and bought some fiberglass chopsticks from the same brand. They look stunning and are dishwasher proof, which is perfect when you are lazy.Original comment: Not a single pair is properly manufactured. Not a single chopstick is straight and one pair is so bent it is unusable.Since I grew up in Asia (including 4 years in Japan), so I can use chopsticks as easily as a fork. I have been using disposable and reusable chopsticks, Chinese and Japanese, as far as I can remember and I have never seen something so poorly manufactured. I will try to return this item and go for a different model.I will update this review if it is an isolated problem and the seller agrees to exchange it.

Theses chopsticks are perfect, I have had many in the past that are too slippy or too woody tasting. These are perfectly coated and look beautiful, the little sliver flower design shimmers in the light, and the red pops against the darker chopstick colour. Nice and light to hold, easy to clean and come in a box to store them in. Will definitely buy again, very happy I bought them and recommend to anyone to try them.

Unlike many chopsticks you can find online which are rounded-off-rectangle shape, this chopstick is completely round and the surface is coated with a polish that makes it very slippery. This means it's extra tricky to pick up food with it, it is much much easier to use one of those wooden chopsticks you get given whenever you get sushi from a market. So, if you learn to use these, you will be able to use any chopstick. The difficulty to use it actually makes it a good option as when you use a normal chopstick among your friends you'll be like Tony Hawk, pulling tricks and using the stick so good they'll think you're native Japanese.

I don't usually write product reviews, but these are so good I had to let people know. The chopsticks are beautifully designed, the flower motif on them is wonderful. People can have problems using chopsticks, I found most other chopsticks difficult to use. The design of these makes using them incredibly easy use. The narrow ends makes picking up food easy, I haven't dropped or thrown any food over the table since using them. They are also very easy to clean.

I threw them away. Reason for that was, as per picture i thought i would get black colour chopsticks. Instead i got these excrement colour chopsticks that were also sticky to touch. Not something i want to put in my mouth. I threw away the packaging and stuck them in a dishwasher thinking that might solve the problem. Turns out they came out exactly the same.So I just threw them away.
