Bought this as a birthday present for my son. He loves sushi. We are able to make it at home now very easily. Honestly, my biggest issue is the sticky sushi rice... not the maker. I like the avocado knife, but the peeler part didn't work out well for me. I believe the avocados we got weren't ripe enough. My son uses the chopsticks multiple times a week with other meals. They are well made and the little duck table holders for the chopsticks are too cute. The two different bamboo mats are of decent quality as well. I'm sure there is a useful difference between the two, but I like the one I've been using. The thick plastic bag ours came in didn't last long; the plastic zipper is cheap. We keep it all in a two gallon ziplock bag. There is plenty of extra room in it. Overall, great purchase... you may need to refresh your knowledge by watching a video a time or two (can be found on YouTube as well), but after that you should get the hang of it.
