My family has been using one for 6 months for daughter's school snack. It gets thrown into her backpack, takes a beating and still looks new. I wipe it out daily and throw in dishwasher on Friday. Stainless feels high-quality, very thick and sturdy, has not dented yet.

My daughter is 9 and found the clasps a little tough to open at first, but loves it so much she doesn't care. Would not recommend for under age 8, due to tightness of clasps. For the rest of us, I like the tight clasps - it will not open by itself.

As previous reviewer said - not for liquids, they will seep, but could work for rice dishes, lasagna, etc. Size is a little big for snacks, would prefer something 30% smaller. Can even fit a whole (small) apple in here and just get the lid shut. Packs over 2 cups of goldfish. Size is a little small for lunch - one sandwich and some room left-over. Two of these perfect for packing a lunch in an insulated bag along w/a drink. Or buy a tiffin lunch box, which we use also.

If you are an adult and eat cold lunches, this is a good addition to your lunch box. It's not a product for a young child's box because of sharp edges and firm latches.

The perfect size for a sandwich, small salad, or leftovers. Seals well, but wouldn't recommend for soups or all liquid foods. Easy to clean. Doesn't stain or take on the smell of the food that was in it. Dishwasher safe. Looks sharp. Matches my stainless steel water bottles. Safe, doesn't leech chemicals. Very durable. Will be using for a very long time. I liked this so much I ordered the three tiered stainless steel lunch box with bag and bamboo utensil set too. Will be buying these single containers as gifts for people!

small, non-rounded edge on the food container, and doesn't include a great latching system. I've seen other stainless steel lunchboxes in local grocery stores, but they are previously sold out at my grocery store. Take this review for what it's worth.

The clips on this repeatedly broke off within a couple days of purchase. Love the nesting design and all-steel idea, but this is too cheaply made to hold up. Might still be workable if you slip a bento box thick rubber band around it.

Yet another product that looks promising but fails to deliver a quality experience. The thing does not seal properly so is not good for anything but dry food and peanuts. Lip of container is sharp and flimsy. Two of the most important characteristics of any container are not properly designed on this product.

This is nice for a small salad or snack. It is a little sharp around the edges but nice for adults.

I liked this s.s. lunch box, but I consider the edges quite sharp for little hands. I'm afraid my child may cut his fingers one day. Everything else is great! NO more plastic for us!

I bought this for my 8yr old. Since steel is BPA free I wanted this to pack her lunch. Growing up in India I always has a steel lunch box and none of them had sharp edges to match this one!! My husband jokes that it is designed to cut fruits you pack inside!!! The space is sufficient, but I dislike the oval design, that reduces the space. Also very inconvient to pack a square/rectangle in an oval box ;)

I am sick and tired of every single food item being heated/stored/encased in plastic. It is unavoidable, but I refuse to buy any more of those plastic food storage containers, and I want to cut back on plastic bags. I bought pyrex storage, but after a few washings the lids (PLASTIC!) never fit right. I figured I'd try this. It isn't a big investment, and if it didn't work well, no big loss. I LOVE this container and plan to buy and give away more. I doubt it is water tight, but I did put soup in it to freeze, which of course was fine. The locking mechanism looks like it will last a long time. To top it off, it looks great! No more plastic containers, and this will save money in the long run.
UPDATE: Now that I've had it a for a few months(and ordered more as gifts as well as for me) I love it even more. Great in the dishwasher, still shines like new after lots of use.
