This is a nice beginners set. I bought it for my adult daughter because she wanted a set for her appartment. She said it was great because it had a little of everything as well as 3 pouring spouts. She entertained over the weekend, and said they really had fun with all of the pieces. They got a book of recipes and made a lot of fun drinks. I may get another set to give as a unique wedding gift for a wedding I just got invited to.
