We used this product as an ice cream topping bar. It had 2 fruit toppings, crushed Oreos, peanuts, and chocolate chips. We were having a party outside, which is why I purchased this. I wanted something with a lid that closes to make sure that no flies landed on the food. My other concern was that I could put ice in the bottom to keep the fruit cold and the chocolate from melting. The only problem was that the space for ice in the bottom was very minimal and while I could put ice in it I could not put large ice in it. Buying a bag of ice I had to crush it down to the smallest cubes. There could not even be two cubes hooked together to fit in the space. Other than that, it held sufficient toppings for 30 people at the party and then some leftover. I could put long spoons in there and still close the lid which was very nice. I felt it looked great on the table next to the sprinkles and syrups. So I would say 99.9% perfect. I would buy it again and I would recommend it to someone else. It was part of the housewarming gift that was the purpose of the party and they will always be able to have a fancy ice cream topping bar now to go with their homemade ice cream which they love making. I think it is a valuable party essential if you have backyard parties.
Technically, speaking, it worked great. Everything fit well. The top opened and closed easily. It even has a position to hold the lid open if you choose. It arrived quickly. The box was in good shape, and there was no damage to the product.
