I have about 6 sets of dishes, each set is different than the other. I like to switch things up for different gatherings. I also like to have options on flatware and have quite a few differing patterns to mix and match in. I like these for their sleek and modern design and look great with so many of my dishes. I love 18/10 stainless steel for the beauty of them and the fact that they do not tarnish is a huge plus.
