I just wanted a good size spoon for filling muffin cups but the price of this set was about the same as a single spoon. The size is perfect for what I wanted. I bought a bottle of mineral oil on same order for a new cutting board. I oiled the spoons too because it will keep the spoons from cracking. Since they were probably setting for months in a dry warehouse after they were made they need oil when you get them. They are just wooden spoons but the quality is excellent and they are very attractive and well made. Wood tools and cutting boards are the best for use with food because they kill and resist bacteria naturally and will last for years if you oil them with mineral or bamboo oil.

My slotted spoon broke the first time I used it. It's still useable, but one of the slots broke through the top edge. They are durable and exactly what I'd want.

I'm not a fan of wooden kitchen utensils but my wife is.
I will say I was impressed with how these spoons were made when I took them out of the package. With proper care these should last for years. They seem to be well balanced and the design well thought out.
These utensils are much thicker in width that what you will find in the discount stores. I also believe they have used better quality wood.
UPDATE; This involves my main gripe about wooden utensils. I have noticed that SO FAR this brand does NOT absorb dishwater or food residue like the lower quality brands do. To me any wooden utensil should be washed immediately after use to avoid absorbing things into them and eventually growing a bacteria farm on them that can't be removed even with extensive scrubbing. Sometimes it is just not possible to wash something right after you use it. Somehow this brand seems to be made of a much higher quality wood. I'll keep an eye on this and after we use them more, see if this changes. If it does I will post an update. I like clean food, and like clean equipment. The other brands I use stain easily and when that happens I throw them away if they do not come clean.

Sometime I struggle about product reviews. Not so much about how to describe them, but how to rate them in term of numbers of star. Should a superb $30 wooden spoon be rated higher than a $1 mediocre spoon? (As a matter of fact, I do have a $1 wood spoon and have seen wood spoons cost more than $50 a piece) Ultimately, I examine my overall attitude toward the purchase, so I do consider both the cost and the quality of the products.
This utensil set was sold for $9.99 and I bought it as part of the 4-for-3 promotion, so I paid less than $9 for three wooden utensils -- extremely affordable. In term of quality, they don't seem to be as good as the ones sold by Oxo, but the Oxo ones are more expensive. Of the three utensils, the slotted spoon is of the poorer quality (in my case anyway). The slotted spoon is made of rougher and porous wood. It cracked slightly (1/8th inch) after its first use. It has "healed" itself after contraction. I have only used it once since and it has not cracked the second time. I simply don't have the need for the slotted spoon often and have not tried it often. The solid spoon is nice. It has not cracked or splintered. In fact, the solid spoon has survived the break-in period and developed a very smooth surface. The turner is mostly used for sautee and stir-fry, so it has not seen much water and of course has not cracked or splintered. The solid spoon is 10-3/4" in length. The slotted spoon and turner are 11-1/2" in length. I have owed this set since March, 2009 and am updating this review on Dec, 2009.
On quality alone, I would only give this Calphalon wood utensil set a 3-star score because the wood quality is average (average as in average, not average as in bad). As a whole, I am giving it a 4-star rating because it is very affordable.
For disclosure, all three utensils have been treated with mineral oil, beeswax or tung oil before their first use.
