True Fabrications Cheese Board and 4 Cheese Knife Set

I have owned several similar cheese sets over the years, and wanted to give one as a Christmas gift. The set I wanted (Picnic Time Circo Cheese Set) was sold out, and so I bought this set instead. There were no reviews, but I thought "How different can they be?" My mistake!

When I removed the plastic to wrap it, I couldn't separate the two parts to expose the tools. The other boards I've owned opened with a hinge or had a drawer. After pulling and prying with no luck, I noticed a screw in the bottom of the board. After lossening it didn't work, I pulled it out all the way. Turns out that the board is just two *separete* pieces that you're supposed to balance together!!

There is nothing like a hinge or pin connecting the top and bottom. I thought maybe this was so the top could be used itself, but it has a small strip of wood where it meets the bottom, so it can't even stand on it's own! It has to be balanced precariously over the bottom piece. There isn't even a notch or anything to help them balance.

On top of all that, the tools are cheap and not helpful. The Picnic Time and Trudeau sets both have cheese slicers and good quality knives. This set is simply different size spreaders. Not very useful.

In short, do NOT buy this inferior product. It's no cheaper than much better, more useful sets. I've returned mine, and will be gifting the Picnic Time set a few days late. It's worth it.

This is perfect for that afternoon wine-tasting tour. Pack your crackers and cheese. Everything you need is right at your fingertips...very compact. It's a great gift item as well.

I had to sent the first one back because it was warped, but the second one is fine. It does the job and looks pretty good.
