POS
Flimsy like a coke can. Bends in your pack. To small to cook the 2 cups of water required for most freeze-dried nasty dinners. Seven bucks down the drain, what was I thinking? I bet it would melt on a higher BTU stove, or with 3 matches lit at the same time. I will recycle this kit when I return my coke cans.

The best starter kit
If you're just starting out backpacking then this is the mess kit for you. It's practically identical to the kits Boy Scouts of America have been using for decades. There are a hundred different kits that you can find that will be made of stronger, lighter, non-stick material, but if you're only using if a few times a year, who needs all that?

Poor Quality
Coleman products are almost always great, but this is not one of them. Made out of cheap aluminum, it is not sturdy and has no non-stick treatment, so cleaning is a pain. It basically can be used for one person for cooking a meal, but at a little more than a pound, it's not worth it. I wouldn't even buy it as a beginner set for the new camper. I recommend the "Open Country Sierra 5-Piece Nonstick Backpacker Cooking Set". It is treated with a non-stick coating on all sides and is lightweight. You really don't need more than two pots for cooking a meal for one to four people. Always remember - you get what you pay for.
