Very nice I have put them in the dishwasher and my husband has scooped ice cream with them SMH and they didn't bend or change color. not to light and not to heavy. the only thing we had to get used to was they would fall off our plates if we didn't have them on the plate far enough but after a month we got used to it and don't have that problem anymore.... plus our old flatware was very light. I also love how shiny they are :P
