I had purchased a set that looks the same as this years and years ago but due to loss of pieces (how do kids make them disappear?) I wanted to replenish my supply now that my kids are moving out. Everything is the same with the exception of the knives- the handles at the bottom are smashed flatter than my previous set, but other than that I love them and the design matches my old set. I love the shape of the forks and spoons- not too narrow or deep. The handles fit nicely and well balanced in my hand. I'm so glad I found these!
