I think the set is very nice for everyday use.  I got it to replace my 35 year old set of Towle flatware!  The pieces are a bit lighter than I would like except for the knives, which are heavier.  And, some of the handles do not fit into  my new dishwasher silverware rack.  Fortunately, I have a small upper rack drawer, I can put them in however. 
I would recommend overall!
