These are great for fruits and very small plate items. They really come in handy for me and guests.. The only thing that might be bad is the wood, as you know wood and water aren't to good together over time, fading and damage can occur. Just dry them off right after each use, should be fine. Plus, these ones are super nice and are NOT easy to find in local stores anymore, at least I couldn't find them. But, good ole ebay has them for sale!
