This set is one of the most gorgeous, quality dinnerware sets I've owned! The weights on them are perfect. Picking up heavier, thicker foods with the forks are a breeze thanks to their narrow prongs. The serving set has a spoon so big we giggle everytime we use it..but.. it is wonderful for serving scoops of delicious potato salad, perfect helpings of dressing, and heapings of sauteed vegetables. It's a quality, elegant set indeed!
