The cons:
The middle circle sauce compartment could be a little bit deeper to hold more sauce.
It is leak proof to an extent with thick liquids like sauce or even watermelon juice but anything real thin like water or watery soup will leak out, the thinnest liquid you could get away with and not leak, would be watermelon juice which is pretty thin, but still not as thin as water. I did put juicy chopped skinless square watermelon bites in it and they did not leak. But I also put water from the sink in it and it did leak.
The inner silicone lid stains a little bit and holds the scent of the food however I did scrub with a yellow sink sponge and got most of the stains and smells out but not all the way not a big deal to me. Just thought I would mention it for others to know.
My biggest complaint would be the price. I got a discount which made the Prett lunch box about $32 which I feel is a fair price and that would have been good. What made it not a good deal and too high of a price was the $10 shipping which bumped the price all the way up from $32 to $42 which I feel like made this item too expensive. The pret lunch box in my opinion is worth 30 to $35 that's with tax included no more than that. So I wasn't too happy about paying $42 for it.
The pros:
I ordered the Versailles pink and it is a beautiful pink color and lights up the whole fridge.
I was able to put a piece of clear Scotch tape on the front of it with my kids name on it and so far it has stayed on there.
You can pack in quite a bit of fruits and veggies in the compartments and a whole sandwich with lettuce and pickles in the big compartment no problem although you do have to cut the sandwich diagonal for a better fit.
It will fit a whole 12 count grilled chicken nugget in the big compartment from Chick-fil-A and a whole small macaroni and cheese from Chick-fil-A in one of the small compartments if you pack it in there good.
It can hold plenty of baby carrots probably about eight of them I only pack five baby carrots
Since it's stainless it's kind of a breeze to clean just do a light wipe down under the sink with a little bit of soap the inner lid has to be washed a little bit more aggressively because it's silicone no big deal.
It seems to be durable I was worried about the lid being plastic and breaking if dropped my kindergartener had a mishap and dropped the whole thing from off the cafeteria table onto the floor and the Pret lunch box did not break so I'm thinking it's probably durable so far anyway.
My kindergartener told me all her little classmates like her pink lunch box so that's pretty cool.
Would I buy it again yes I would just wish the price was 30 to 35 with that including tax and shipping. Or at least have somewhere I could go and pick it up to avoid shipping cost. Like a local yum Box Store or if they sold through Walmart or Target. Or if they could find a way to Discount the shipping.

I’ve always had the plastic Yumbox bento boxes for my kids and they were great but I’ve been trying to avoid plastic so these stainless steel bento boxes are perfect! I find that sometimes the stainless bento boxes can be heavy, clunky and hard to manipulate but this box is light enough for my 3 year old and she’s able to open it herself. I also bought the silicone bento cups so I can make more compartments for small food items on the days I don’t make sandwiches. Everything feels well-made and built to last.
