I am looking at the spoons from this set and the Gerber graduates kiddy cutlery. How do they compare in terms of width and depth?

We like the OXO set best. The Gerber sets had 3 pieces which included a knife or 3 spooners or forks. We liked the size and colors of the OXO sets better. They also seem to be a little smoother on the metal part. We got them to go with Skip Hop zoo plate/bowl sets. A great shower gift set! The size is just a little shorter than Gerber pieces. We just like them better.

I have not used the Gerber set, but I really love the OXO ones. They have the perfect depth for my toddler so she is able to get enough food onto the spoon/fork without it being too much for her mouth. They also have a nice wide handle for her to hold on to. They are really good quality, I ended up buying a few sets.

I'm not familiar with the Gerber ones- but, these OXO Tot Set are the best I've ever found. They fit perfectly in our granddaughters hand. My daughter even bought a set for her house because she liked them so well. I definitely recommend these as The Best!

The knives appear to be full tang. In fact the underside of handle has a large amount of the tang which you grip. I've had my set for a year now and I don't have any regrets. I do not wash mine in the dishwasher even though you could, the knives are to nice for that.

I have the gerber and it is a very nice knife. It feels extremely good in my hand. And it's got a rubbery handle that wont slip out of your hand. And it comes very sharp. And it's a solid not flimsy

I would say these are a good option for your child to use until they are ready for regular cutlery. I wouldn't call them too babyish at all

I like Spyderco - very good knife and may actually carry better when wearing dress slacks. For me, comes down to personal preference. I carry my ZT more often because I prefer the speed opening and it fits my hand better. Either knife is a great choice IMHO.

I like the groove that runs along the side and the dip at the end of the handle. It makes them much easier to hold than a smooth handle knife. I am very happy with this set.

They are better than the ever sharp and Walmart knives but are not as thick as the original four star knives. These are four star two and the blades are thinner and lighter. I have a 16 year old four star 6" chefs knife and it is much better quality than these. Check out eBay and you may come across some original four star knives.

I returned mine since they were sooo tiny....tinier than I expected. That goes for the spoons too.

I have shun and global knives in the tray. The knives sit flush within the tray so the handles do not actually go up. If you look at the tray, it's height tells you where your knives are going to sit. The widest knife I have is a global cleaver (G12 - http://www.amazon.com/Global-G-12-inch-16cm-Cleaver/dp/B0000A33KP/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid;=1382414796&sr;=8-1&keywords;=global+cleaver) and it is up right. It extends 3/4 inches above the height of the tray. Even with the cleaver sticking up, there is no problem with closing the drawer.

Hi Angel, Unfortunately, I bought this as a wedding gift and only looked at the group upon arrival, before wrapping and did not take measurements. These are nice deep bowls well suited for mixing batters and I liked the grip on the lip when I handled them. I would think there was a sizing on the items in the selection. Sorry I couldn't be much more help, but I do think they are nice set especially to get started with.

I love them, after you use once or twice, they are comfortable but seem a little bigger than my other silverware, the spoons are a little big, a least for my grandkids we use the salad or smaller forks, but they don't make any smaller spoons is the only issue I have. Iam sure they are returnable if yoy are really unhappy, but I love mine.

The 3 rectangular ones are 9.5 long x 2 wide x 1.75 deep. The long rectangular one is 14 long x 2 x 1.75. The small horizontal one is 6.5 x 4.5 x 1.75 and the long horizontal one is 8 in long and adjusts to about 5 in . I keep my knives in the long rectangle and everything else fits in the remaining places. I have two of these because I have a wide drawer and I have salad/dessert forks and soup spoons and steak knives and iced tea spoons and serving spoons in addition to the standard knife, fork and spoons. I think the quality of this item is good and sturdy. I'm very pleased with the look and capacity. The 3 rectangular ones are 9.5 long x 2 wide x 1.75 deep.

Yes, they are the continental size, esp. the forks and knives. The only thing is that the soup spoons are a little smaller, don't know why but that does not bother me. I have been pleased with the set, appearance wise and they wash nicely. Mrs. Miller

Looks like the Gourmet Chef kitchen has a better sink, with fun knobs and a deeper basin (from pictures it looks that way - I didn't get to see it in person). I probably still would have chosen the one we got for storage reasons, as there is a good space beneath the Creative Cookery model that is large enough for a basket of extra toys.

Not sure how deep you're looking for, but I'd guess the sjelves are 2" deep. I gave it to my son for his coins, so I can't go look at it, but that's my guess. I don't think it would be the right choice for pocket knives.

Unfortunately I haven't used the Gerber a lot since purchase. It is still tight, but again, my use has been minimal. Sorry I couldn't help more.
