My husband and I have different tastes in silverware, each liking different weights, shapes and designs. This set was the answer to our mixed matched previous drawer full. It combines all of our wants into a single design and we couldn't be more thrilled. The flatware is stunning, sturdy, a nice weight, dishwasher safe and appropriate for parties and everyday use. I highly recommend these if you are looking for something unique. Pros: Simple on the front with wow style on the back, good weight Cons: wish the coffee spoons were dessert spoons
