I know this is posted on the wrong board but a friend is heading up to Ikea tomorrow and I hope I can get this question answered tonight ;) I want to get rid of our plastic (sick of looking at it) and noticed Ikea has two stainless flatware sets for children, one is ment for eating and the other is a toy. I was wondering if anyone here has purchased the toy set to use for eating (it says its food safe) or if its too small, the dimensions aren't listed. The toy set comes in a plastic tray with four place settings. Also if you have bought either set any feedback you have on it would be awesome. Thanks for your help. :)

Hi, I would want to know whether the sets were 18/10 or 18/0. If they're 18/0, they won't hold up well. Sorry I don't have more time to write, but you definitely want stainless that is 18/10. I'm afraid that this might be 18/0 since it isn't stated.

Here's a blurb about why you want 18/10 or 18/8 stainless NOT 18/0:
