Great chopsticks and nice presentation, too. These are my "first" real chopsticks, and it took a little time to get used to them. (I had been using the restaurant chopsticks that are thicker and easier to use, somewhat like fat pencils are for first-graders) It took me a little longer to eat my meal, but that made it more enjoyable. They are lovely!

Great as chopsticks, but I immediately threw-away the bamboo holders. The coloring did not match, and they looked super-cheap.

These are good bamboo chopsticks. One of them was warped though. They're very light. I think I might have preferred something with a little more 'grab'; these are laquered or something and have narrow tips, though that is sometimes useful in itself. I'm happy with them though.

I wanted this product for a long time. It was one of my wish list items for months. When I finally decided to splurge and purchase this item (my wish list is loaded) I thought what an impressive accent piece this would be to my table setting. I waited with great anticipation for my chopsticks with their own holders to arrive. Then they arrived. I was so disappointed. The quality of the holders is awful. One of the holders was splintered at one end and the edges of both holders were unfinished. I decided to keep this item for personal use; however, they will never be used as part of a table setting. This is a great idea, that has been poorly implemented. If Joyce Chen is an actual person, I would advice her to do some quality control on the items that bear her name.

After a year I still have these chopsticks and they are in great shape. We wash them in the dishwasher and have no problems. They are easy to eat with, and smooth to eat on as well. The holders are decorative and look great with a place setting on our table. Great chopsticks!

I picked up this two pair set about 6 months ago and I've been using them all this time with no problems. They clean easily like plastic or metal chopsticks (I hand wash them in less than a minute), but they also grip food well. They're slightly less slippery than some plastic or lacquered chopsticks that I've used in the past, and they're lightweight with fine-tapered ends that don't get in the way when you're eating.

I don't use the chopstick holders, however. I can imagine that the closed tops might be a little cumbersome while eating a meal. But the price of this product is well represented by the quality of the chopsticks alone, so I don't see that as a point worth complaining about.

Just like in the picture. They could come in a display box of some kind but really, they're fine for such a low price.

They food slips at first when you initially use them, but they are overall good...

Bought to increas my chopstick count (some for friends :). These chopsticks are well made & look snazy.
Only beef is that the holders that came with them are to big & brittle. They actualy broke the day I recived them.
If your buying only for the chopsticks then this is a good starter pair.

These chopsticks aren't perfect, but they're still functional as well as decorative. Where's the fun in perfection anyway? Perhaps the holders don't have a snug fit, but they look great and they do their job of keeping the chopsticks off the table. The quality looks like they'll endure for a very long time. I'm thoroughly enjoying my chopsticks!
