I ordered the black/ebony. Other reviewers say the wood colors don't look real. The black ones look great. There's a fake wood grain on the handles, but it's almost impossible to see (in a good way) and looks nice when you do see it. They are light, but I find that to be a good thing. The spoons are both too big and too small, but I like the small spoon for desserts and the large spoon is great for soup. I'm a little afraid the black parts on the handles will come off one day since they aren't secured by rivets. I assume they're glued. They do not feel dishwasher safe, but I never use my dishwasher, so that's fine for me.
