Room×Lab Review · Review updated September 29, 2026

14-inch owners praise its size and sloped sides for big salads, but six report cracks or breaks, four with no drop mentioned

Crate & Barrel's 771 ratings cover every Tondo size and finish, not just the 14-inch bowl. Room×Lab read 660 distinct written reviews, mostly of the 14-inch and 5.75-inch bowls. 14-inch reviews (2022–2026) cover salads, fruit and display; many are first impressions or gift notes, and a few span about five years of family events, years of daily use or restaurant service. 5.75-inch reviews (2014–2026) cover salads, snacks and soups, several after months to a year of hand washing; one set was in great shape after six years. Most small-bowl odor, seal, stain, crack and microwave complaints, and the 2014 review below, are of an earlier 5.75-inch listing sold until mid-2024. Cracking, odor and finish problems are individual reports, not failure rates. Below: common praise for both sizes, a depth complaint and two crack reports with no drop mentioned.

Room×Lab rating: 7.4 out of 10 (limited confidence). 14-inch owners praise the bowl's looks and its deep, sloped shape for tossing salads; Crate & Barrel's 4.7-star rating covers all Tondo sizes. The caveats: six 14-inch owners report cracks or breaks, four with no drop mentioned; care is hand wash only, and no editor or lab has tested it.

  • 14-inch size and sloped shape suit big salads: 12 favorable and 3 critical mentions about the 14-inch bowl's size and shape. — Owners describe tidy tossing, not losing ingredients at the bottom and room for extended-family salads. Owners disagree on depth: one found it so deep that most salads don't fill it and now uses it for produce, while another called its shallow, wide depth perfect. Another found it larger than expected, and one warns it needs a lot of storage space.
  • 14-inch bowl: crack reports alongside years of family use: 6 favorable durability mentions and 6 critical crack or breakage mentions on the 14-inch bowl. — Four owners describe cracks with no drop mentioned, including a large side crack found after one use and cracks that leaked dressing; two bowls broke after falls, one from about six inches. Other owners describe about five years of family events, several years of everyday use and restaurant service. These are individual reports, not failure rates.
  • Hand-washed finish: many owners report it holds up, some report wear or stains: 10 favorable and 8 critical mentions about finish, washing and care across the bowl family. — Owners say the finish cleans easily and stays attractive with hand washing, prompt drying and occasional mineral oil. Critical reports include slight fading on a 14-inch bowl and, on small bowls, a ruined seal, early interior wear, a bubbled film and white stains. Several list hand-wash-only as a drawback.

Before buying

Choose the 14-inch Tondo for big tossed salads at gatherings if you will hand wash it and have room to store it. Check it for cracks or leaks soon after delivery: one owner's crack appeared after the 30-day return window.
