Amazing.  Really.  Design is not overdone, thus, easy to clean and a classy pattern that would make the French proud.  The weight is excellent. Solid and comfortable without being too heavy. Far from some of the flimsy flatware out there. I watched these for almost a year. Not sure I wanted to spend so much money. So when they came on sale I put them in my cart and pressed buy.  Love them. No regrets.
