One Step Ahead products?

[wavepool]

My MIL brought me the catalog (she loves catalogs, orders most gifts from them, but that's not the point here:).
I see a couple of things I like in there and am considering for Christmas gifts. Anybody have any experience with their products and how they hold up?

If it matters, these are the things I'm interested in. They say they're designed by the company, so I want to be sure they make good products before buying!

Kid-sized "grown up" flatware:

Of course there are reviews on the site, but I still like hearing from you gals (and guy(s?)) here!

I've been happy with our purchases, but I think it's on the expensive side at regular price. I got the boys the terry beach cover ups and they are a nice quality. In the past I've gotten the art frames that hold 50 pieces of paper, some beach toys, and a couple of other things. The flatware is on my wishlist but the price is really steep. I'm hoping it goes on sale and then I'll buy 3 sets.

Yes, most of the reviews say that the product is good, but that the price is steep. I think O would love it, so I really want some, too!

If I remember correctly, shipping is $$$. You can find some of the products on Amazon.

I have very similar Oneida flatware for dd that I bought on Amazon. Same price or cheaper, depending on style.

There is a new one about three hours away from me that I want to get to before Christmas, so I'll look there!

I have had good luck with one step ahead, but it can be pricey.

We have bought a couple things over the years and the quality was always good. DH bought one of the car organizers (not the same one) for his work vehicle, and has been happy with it.

Ditto others. One Step Ahead thinks very highly of itself!

There's tons of little kid sized flatware. Most of ours has Disney characters on it, but we also have some nice stuff from Oxo. Knives might be a bit harder to find, but you could definitely find some for less than that price!

The car organizer thing is probably pretty well made, and the price doesn't seem too bad!

We have a kid sized table and chair set from there that I LOVE, and I'd never seen anything like it anywhere else (it's wooden and folds so it's easy to store). Sadly, they don't make it anymore.

Basically, just be sure to check around. A lot of their products are available elsewhere, but some are unique and pretty awesome.
