How it's used
While this term is perfectly understandable, it sounds quite formal or clinical in daily life. Most people prefer to use specific words like 碗筷 or 餐具 when referring to items used for eating. It is more likely to appear on a menu, a sign in a restaurant, or in a formal context rather than in casual conversation between friends.
