JOYCE CHENChopsticks, Set of 2, Burnished Bamboo

Love these Chopsticks to eat rice and fish (sardines) - LOL. Solid double set well packaged. You'll love them.

Like someone said in an earlier review, don't buy this for the bamboo holder. I didn't hesitate a second to throw them in the trash after I opened the packaging. Although the sticks themselves are pretty decent. They are extremely light in weight. They kind of "square off" towards the top so they aren't completely round. The finish on them is slightly slippery when handling food but it seems like a pretty thin finish that will wear off a bit over time. Sadly i did pay the $10 for the set, but oh well. I think they'd be better priced around $5-$6 in my opinion.

I got these for my long time girlfriend and I as an anniversary gift to us. They feel nice in your hand so that's always good. The fact that you get two sets is also a plus. Another point for the pros is that they have the nice bamboo holders. One thing is that since they are very sleek it is sometimes hard to pick up certain foods. Also they don't always fit into the bamboo holders super snugly so you may lose one in a drawer. Overall these are great though.

They work as expected and they look really nice too. Me and my girlfriend love them and use all the time for ramen, rice, and any meal really that could be eaten with a fork. Very easy to clean, just hand wash and dry them and your set. At first I saw no point for the holders, until I was ready to set my chop sticks down and didn't want them on the table or have them rolled off my bowl.Overall, great product and well worth the little bit of money they cost.

I don't know a thing about using chopsticks, but I am getting better at it. The other pair I had were very long and hard to use, but this pair seem to feel ok in my hands. Very hard to eat rice though. I also see people complaining about the holder they come in. Well, they don't fit as I thought they would as depicted in the photo as the chopsticks are much smaller than the holder itself and they just slide right on through, BUT, I use the bamboo holder while I am eating as a place to lay my chopsticks when I am not using them. So maybe that is it's intended use as it sure is not for using as a chopstick carrier/holder.

these are pretty and elegant. Have to remind the kids to not let them soak in the sink. The holders are useless and should be tossed out or they just clutter up the drawer.We have no problem with them in particular. We aren't very good at chopsticks in general and want to practice. The cheezy ones that come from take out are rough wood and give me the chills. These are nice and smooth.

These are great! I did tons of research before I bought them, wanting to get a good quality pair of chopsticks. I chose these because they had so many good reviews! I purchased them last year as a Christmas gift to my boyfriend and they are still perfect. Not warped and still have the lacquer in tact. The holders that come with them are big and awkward, so I just threw them out and use the chopsticks alone.Perfect weight and length for most people, and I liked them so much I bought another set!

Despite some not-so-positive reviews, I decided to try out these chopsticks. I am very glad that I did. The quality is great, the style is attractive and the price was perfect. For those who complained that the holders are too big, I don't understand that complaint. Having a tighter holder would probably make it more difficult to slide the sticks in and out while eating. This is the purpose of the holder, after all, not to hang over your oven.I would absolutely buy these again. I'm glad I went with my instinct on this.

I saw these and they stated 'burnished' not 'lacquered' so I was hoping they'd have the grip of the traditional wood chopsticks.They are pretty slick, look very nice, relatively inexpensive if you plan to treat them well. They're a pretty good length and go to a fine point.I think nice time I'll look for a blunt tip, but overall the product itself was quite food, only giving 4*'s as they did cost a bit and lacked a bit.Would buy again A-

These have lasted for well. Even with frequent use, the material is strong and lasting.

holders are kinda worthless. chopsticks themselves are great.

Not much to say about these, bought them to learn how to eat with chopsticks and they work great.

Nice finish. Feel very cultured using these.
