This is my second caddy I've purchased. I still have my first one. The second one purchased was a gift for friends that bought a new trailer to go camping. They loved ours, and I bought the picnic caddy to be part of their outings.

Comments about Lillian Vernon Picnic Caddy:

This is great! We were so excited to have found one that fits everything. Ketchup and mustard don't fall out the back but yes, liners in the silverware compartments work great! Paper dinner plates do fit and we even put in a small roll of paper towels in the 'ketchup' section. Nothing has ever fallen out of our caddy and the handles work great!

Comments about Lillian Vernon Picnic Caddy:

We got this for camping. Keeps all of our plates, napkins, plastic cutlery in one easy-to-access place. I agree with the problem of the utensils slipping through the holes... i just cut some oaktag and put it in the bottoms of each utensil section. It's big and somewhat bulky to store in between trips, but worth the trouble. :)

Comments about Lillian Vernon Picnic Caddy:

Great for getting everything from the RV to the table in one trip and it keeps the napkins from blowing away.You need to use two hands to keep the plates from sliding out. I lined the utensil spots to keep the knives & forks from slipping out. Overall, a good product for the price.

Comments about Lillian Vernon Picnic Caddy:

I've looked all over for something like this to contain items needed for campsite dining. Holds paper plates, napkins, flatware, condiments. Even a vase of flowers! I can carry it in and out with everything in it, though depending on the balance of the contents, sometimes that takes two hands. Oddly, the back of one compartment is open, so things could fall out. Also, some items will slip through the mesh in the bottom of the caddy. Both problems are easily solved by attaching plastic needlepoint canvas or another mesh material to the back of the open compartment and setting pieces of mesh in the bottoms of some of the compartments. It's still the best thing I've found for the job.

Comments about Lillian Vernon Picnic Caddy:

I like the fact that it stores items like napkins and flatware, but it won't hold normal size plates, and I can't carry it by the handles or things fall out.

Comments about Lillian Vernon Picnic Caddy:

I rcvd the picnic caddy having already bought several other ones from various stores that I was dissatisfied with. I love this one! It has slots for everything you could ask for! It's larger than expected, but very versatile, and lightweight. I live in an apartment where storage space is at a premium, but there was no way that I was going to return this product. I could use t for everything! It will hold, plates, cups, condiments, utencils, napkins, you name it. Finally I've found a product that will really work for me with all my childrens parties!

It is a wonderful product to hold everything needed for a party, even plates. The only defect I've found is that the handles are not tall enough to fold down and out of the way.

Comments about Lillian Vernon Picnic Caddy:

This is a great caddy if your patio and kitchen far from each other. It holds a good amount of items. My only complaint is that the silverware/plasticware slips through the holes. They should have made the mesh in that section smaller holes or had a liner. I've been using napkins as liners to keep the silverware from slipping through.

Comments about Lillian Vernon Picnic Caddy:

I bought this picnic caddy over three years ago and use it constantly. It is the greatest for holding forks, knives, spoons, napkins, plates (plastic or disposable). Sometimes I use the "condiment" compartments to hold Cups (16-20 oz for adults and 10oz and smaller for the kids)Especially for Bar - B -Ques - Everything is in one spot!! It even washes well with warm soapy water in case anything spills on it. I only wish it came in different colors! We have a large family and have tons of family gatherings. I not only use this for outdoors but indoors as well for Birthday parties and get togethers (Super bowl, races etc).

Comments about Lillian Vernon Picnic Caddy:

I was looking for a caddy that would realistically hold all that I needed to bring out to the patio for a BBQ. This is great. The only minor con I have is that when I use plastic cutlery, the ends go through the little holes which makes it harder to get the plates in and out. Minor flaw for an overal great product.

This item is great! I keep it stocked so when I have surprise guests I just pull it out and I'm ready for outdoor entertaining. I get to spend more time with my guest than trying to organize everything. It's also great because guests just get their own utencils etc....

Comments about Lillian Vernon Picnic Caddy:

This is great because you really can make one trip to the patio table and have everything you need. Two problems though. #1-Plastic utensils get stuck in the bottom grill; I had to cut out cardboard squares to place on the bottom to prevent this. #2 - The handles come out of the holes and catch on to the grills.

Great idea, but needs improvement. As other reviews have mentioned, the condiment spot is not enclosed, so things can fall out. Also, very easy to tip over (while carrying) and hard to properly balance.

Product is great for camping. We stocked it up and kept it on the table all weekend. The only bad thing is it is hard to store. It is bigger than it looks and has no give to it so finding a place to put it while packing for camping is not easy but the convenience of it outways any cons.

Comments about Lillian Vernon Picnic Caddy:

I've used this product once and I've enjoyed it. My kitchen is in the front of the house and my deck and grill are of course in the back of the house, so I have to walk through the dining room and living room to get to the deck. I can take it all with this handy caddy AND bring it all back in. I did overload it, it became too heavy and baulky to carry. A good idea would be to "add" mayonaise, ketchup and mustard container squirt bottles to help make it a little lighter, otherwise, I have been looking for this for some time now due to my "set up".
I'm going to keep it under a small outdoor bar I have, so I'm not sure if it will rust or not yet, due to the size of storing it. It is still a "handy caddy".
