These are stunning. I am blown away by how light, yet durable this set is. I love having a set that can also serve 12 for the price. I have run through the dishwasher and they have held up very well. I'm almost ashamed to say this, but my husband uses these utensils to scoop ice cream, which no other spoon has been able to hold up to. Very happy! Definitely recommend for everyday use for people who are "hard" on silverware. Well worth the money.
