If you are unaware of the company they tend to specialize in kitchen utensils, office supplies, and housewares. They are based in New York. I really love their products. I find them to be sturdy, reliable, stylish, and (sometimes) interestingly inventive. I'd say my only argument is not really specific to the brand but to a lot of kitchen utensils that are not a necessity and that feel immensely lazy. Like, I don't know, an egg slicer. *sigh* Does anyone have any experience with OXO products?
