fine for looks but not for use
Looks awesome but if you've mixed cocktails you'd see right off the bat that the Hawthorne Strainer is of low quality just by the spring. It's gaps between coils are too wide and let bits of ice thru. The Jigger does not have the sizes imprinted on it, so you have to figure it out or get online to find out its sizes. The bottle spouts/pourers are loose and will fall out of a lot of spirit bottles and leak. The Cocktail spoon doesn't have a good weight balance for stirring and since it's a european style the end is not just a stand for it you're suppose to be able to muddle with it(don't with this one) and Lastly the cocktail spoon does not fit is the slot on the stand and I just put my old one in it that fits. The bamboo stand does look amazing and if the stainless is kept clean the set does look awesome on a shelf. Oddly the Cobler Shaker is amazingly wonderful and doesn't leak like a lot of cheaper ones. Basically the maker's had a great idea but didn't come thru by using poor quality pieces in the set...IM. Do not recommend this unless its just for a showpiece
