THis is a great spoon and I couldn't believe the price. I almost bought one at Williams Sonoma for about 4 times the price and this seems to be almost the exact spoon. The weight is very nice, the color is beautiful. I have treated it with food safe oil a couple times, but I don't know that I even needed to do that.
UPDATE: I noticed the price has significantly increased so although it's still a great spoon, please compare prices!

These are great spoons! Very handsome,tight grained wood , well made. They are an exceptional value. I have seen spoons of this quality in stores and on line and would have bought them but for the expense.These are at least as good,and better than many of the higher priced olive wood spoons i've seen.I am very happy with them.

These olive wood utensils are just what I was looking for. They feel good in the hand, have a nice heft without being heavy, and are so fine-grained and well-made I doubt they will ever splinter or break. Like anything made of wood, they must be hand-washed but they clean very easily and nothing has stained them yet. I bought the 12-inch spoon, 12-inch pierced spoon, and 12-inch spatula (wide) and I'm pleased with each one of them. these are good tools, and they're good value for the money.

I ordered two of these spoons. One got heavier use (about 4x/week), the other lighter use (about 2x/month). Both were always hand washed. After a year, both developed large cracks in the middle of the spoon bowl - large enough to trap liquid food (sauce, soup). Before that, both were fine spoons - the bowl was a decent shape, comfortable to use, and durable enough for the relatively lightweight tasks I used them for (no mixing large bowls of heavy dough).

I love these olive wood products. I purchased this one and several of the other spoons. They hold up well and have not cracked or dried out after over a year of use. I sometimes toss in the dishwasher, but mostly handwash to preserve the wood longer.

Attractive wooden spoon with a satiny finish. The handle is slender and I hope it doesn't break but the spoon seems VERY well made.

I have had this spoon for 5 months now and it is still like new. The wood is beautiful. The spoon is light weight, though very sturdy. The wood remains unstained no matter what I use it on! I bought a Calphalon (ASIN: B000Q4XDNG) at the same time for a fraction of the cost and it has already split. Spend the extra money and get a wonderful product that lasts and lasts. I will definitely buy HIC products again.

This spoon seems very solid and looks like it will not splinter. It is an excellent wooden spoon.
