They are nice and don't take up much space, but the truth is that I expected them to be a little bigger. The dustpan is slightly wider than a soup spoon. The price/size ratio was a bit disappointing. The good thing is that my kids are young, so they are okay for their little hands. But if your kids are over 3 years old, I don't think these will work for them. Prefer something bigger! They are of good quality though.
