We bought a 20 piece set locally of this after looking for new flatware for about two months. This set was the first we found that we really liked. It is heavier than other sets (which were looking for) and very nicely balanced. Plus, the simple but interesting design goes well with lots of dinnerware styles, including our very colorful pottery. The 20 piece set cost us [$] so we are very happy to be getting 40 pieces plus a serving set for just $20 more. [...]
