I love how compact this bento box is, and it is really pretty! However I don't think having the two compartments held together by the elastic is very practical as it may slip off or allow condiments to slip out. It is also really quite small.. I looked at the dimensions before ordering it and thought wow! This is pretty tiny. Upon getting it I realised how small it was. Don't expect to be filled up by a filled up bento of this size!
