I bake and cook all the time and always seem to need more measuring devices than I own. This is a clear plastic set of measuring cups. If you have a hard time seeing, this might not be the set for you as everything is clear or opaque/frosted clear plastic. The numbers are clear plastic on the mostly frosted plastic background. I can read them fine, but I can see someone like my mother struggling a bit more as she has trouble with reading, especially light colored print in day a magazine. I will say the print is large, so that helps. The print however is close to the cup, not out at the end, so that could be more difficult or easier for some people. All my existing cups are out at the end so this will take me some getting used to. Some measuring cups in the set do have a line inside of them with a smaller measure, for example the 1/2 cup has a 1/3 line labeled 1/3. This could come in handy if you had already used the 1/3 or like me, you try to use as few cups as possible. I took a photo of the prongs that hold the cups into the one below. So far they are not difficult to put together or take apart and the plastic seems nice and thick so they should remain sturdy. So far as I've used these, they clean up nicely as the plastic is very smooth on the inside of the cup. They will be in heavy use in my kitchen and if anything arises I'll update my review.
