The product was delivered in a cardboard box that was well suited to the size of the product.
Inside the box was a wooden bowl wrapped in plastic. It would be desirable for the manufacturer to look into the possibility of a more environmentally friendly packaging option.
Instructions for use are not included with the product, but are not required.

On the Amazon platform, consumers rate the product with an average of 4.4 stars. In individual cases, there are criticisms of the stability. On the other hand, the versatility of use and the unusual design are emphasised positively. In our practical test, we were able to confirm that the design of the fruit basket is eye-catching and that the product can be used in a variety of ways. Consumer criticism of the fruit basket’s stability could not be substantiated in the practical test.
Prices of up to €16.94 are charged on the Internet for equivalent products. Very affordable products are available from as little as €11.99 . With a price of €13 .95, the Dimono fruit bowl is therefore currently in the middle price segment. For the quality and performance received, the price-performance ratio is very good.
