Overall, I really like the flatware. The reason I only gave it four stars is because one of the spoons came with deep scratches that removed the gold finish. It’s not worth returning the entire set just for one spoon. It’s not sharp on the lips so I decided to keep it. The utensils are heavy and do not bend easily, like the cheap sets I usually buy. The two sizes of spoons and forks are not very dramatic, but I don’t mind. The packaging was a little excessive because each utensil was individually packaged in plastic, then a set was bundled together with rubber bands, contained in even more plastic, inside a box, inside a box.
