I gravitated toward this set because of its simplicity and its similarity to one that I used growing up (a Stanley Roberts York set). These are very simply designed with an efficient, just-hefty-enough oval stem that feels well balanced in your hand.

My only minor quibble was the shipping—the twist ties used for the display set at the front of the box appear to be too flimsy for shipping, so in one of my sets, a loose fork ended up scratching the two spoons. (Not a big deal, I’ll get over it ha.)

In all, I think this set will be great for everyday use and for company. Super pleased!
