I am so pleased with this flatware set! I was looking for quality, style and value and this set hit every mark. It's simple yet classic, goes beautifully with my Noritake dinnerware and feels wonderful in your hand. I bought on sale (with an additional coupon!) and couldn't be happier. I used this set for our family's Thanksgiving dinner and received many compliments. To protect the beautiful, shiny finish, I decided to hand wash (just in case) and dry any fingerprints before storing.
