I do not much go for to many matching pieces in the kitchen, it becomes overkill, and, well, ridiculoous. My wallpaper will never match my dishes! This is quite cute, hang on wall with some greenery falling out maybe, or use as a pretty bread basket when you have guests. Why 3 stars, not really useful as a colander. If you want a colander to actually use, get the one from Calphalon. I still think it is quite cute and able to have a purpose or 2.
