Using the regular glass espresso mugs is a real problem with fibromyalgia. I had tried before to find a nice plastic espresso set and there are some available. But, they are not safe to use, especially in that they are being used w/ a warm or hot liquid. All the plastic sets I found, were made of Polystyrene plastic! That type of plastic is one of the worst for safety and leaching.
So I got creative and searched for "childrens' tea set". There were quite a few and none of them were made out of one of the better plastics. I prefer #5 PP, as most the articles I have read say it's the safest [not perfect] plastic, especially where hot liquids are concerned. It was shocking that many of the sets for kids were again Polystyrene. And you have to know that kids want to play and fill them w/ hot water and put them in their mouth and chew on them. A lot of the sets were also Barbie princess pink designs or the like. Not something an adult would want to be using day to day, nor would a little boy be too thrilled w/ that either.
I was happy to find that this set was made of #5 PP plastic. The colors are cheery and mix in well w/ the bright color dish scheme that is so popular today. As these were for use as an espresso set, I ended up giving the teapot, sugar and creme stuff to a friend whose 2 young boys enjoy playing with and with no worry of toxic plastic. As for an espresso set they work great! The cups are a smidge smaller than the ones at the barista, but still the right size to work. No holes or leaky seams and no melting. The spoons are slightly smaller than the standard espresso spoons, as shown in the picture. The saucers also work nice with the plastic cups that came w/ the plastic GSI dish set, as shown in the picture. The only down side is that the little bit of size lost in the cup means that, it has to be held up under the espresso stream of the machine, to keep it from splashing over the side. That is well worth it, as these cups are easy to hold on the worst days, easy to hand wash and do not have to worry about breakage or injury from a mishap, as with the heavy ceramic ones. So these are just great for disabled and great for kids.
Purchased this set for my grandson - boys grow up and drink and eat too! He began to play with it as soon as it was out of the box. Nice and durable with loads of imaginary play. The saucers are actually plates, perfect for a teddy bear and/or Ninja Turtle lunch.
This is the tea set I bought for my grandkids. I bought this one specifically because of the neutral colors and the plastic is bpa free. My 8 month old grandson was playing with one of the cups and I noticed the rim was thick enough to not be sharp. This was exactly what we needed.
I bought this tea set for my grandson and granddaughter on my last visit with them. My grandson is 2 1/2 and his younger sister 14 montha. From the moment we opened the box together this became their favorite toy. I had noticed that when they played together they were using plastic cups and my Grandson had talked about ' tea parties ' a great deal. So,that's why I decided to buy this bright cheerful tea set. It has provided literally hours of entertainment in the day and they even to take it in the bath at night and play with. The grandchildren like to take their soft toys out the deck if its sunny and line them up on a bench or sit them down on chairs around the table to a tea party. My grandson practices asking people if they would care for a cup of tea , using please ,thank you etc learning good manners along the way. This is a great toy for toddlers and. young children to enjoy as they learn to carefully pour liquid from the teapot Into a cup then carry from table to chair without spilling. Theyre learning just how much to fill a cup without overfilling it and then how to balance the cup without spilling. So,the tea set is giving toddlers and young children hours of learning and fun at the same time .
The tea set is bright with cheerful colors and seems to be well-made. I'm sure that my grandson and granddaughter will get a lot of years fun and use out of it. Excellent value !
This is brilliant. I just watched my granddaughter on Skype giving her soft toy pals a tea-party and exploring scientific principles (eg how much water can you pour into a SAUCER before it overflows?) I spent a lot of time trying to find a set that was a) unbreakable b) not made of pink with purple butterflies and c) had a proper round teapot. I did succeed in the end - I was delighted when I found your set! Also it was delivered promptly and all that stuff. keep up the good work!

A little smaller than I thought, but my son loves it. I enjoy the neutral colors because boys like to play with tea sets and pots and pans just anyone else. While he'd play with any color, even pink (he doesn't care), it's still nice to see the colors that Kidzlane provides. A great 5-star product!
This set is just perfect for a tea party! I purchased this for my 4 year old Grandson's "Restaurant". The size of the teapot and accessories is just right. Not too small or large. It's about time that tea sets like this one are made with primary colors. This set is great!
My kids have faithfully used two different tea sets for pretend play over the years. They were both cute, but didn't stand up to the real water and real snacks that my children were using. One of the pretty colored metal sets had some water left in it and rusted in the bottom. The other plastic with princess stickers couldn't stand up to the wear. This set is perfect. It's already been used. The cups and tea pot hold water. All of the pieces are washable (I washed by hand, not dishwasher.) It's a great price point and the colors are terrific for both my son and daughter. I did envision a slightly thicker plastic, but this is great.

I have already written a review in response to a request for one. However I don’t mind writing another. The product is exactly How featured and described and is of excellent quality. Arrived in lightening speed. What sold me on in were the costumer reviews: 1)That it is perfect for little boys as well as girls; 2) that someone bought it for a a three year old grandson who loved it 3) the colors are bright and fun; and 4) that it’s durable. My opinion it’s all that. Great for learning and easy to grasp for the little hands. Generously equipped for four! What joy.
