I kept one and gifted the other to my Mother. After about a month of use, I asked her opinion of it, knowing I was happy with it, with one exception. She said she likes it, but wishes the indentations in the top were deeper to allow for a better grip to lift it. Instead, she uses 2 hands to lift it by its sides. Her answer was exactly what I expected because that's exactly how I feel about it. Otherwise, we are happy with the quality and like that it expands easily and gives plenty of clearance between the guard and plated food. Washes easily.
