I was looking for very cool silverware that wasn't trying to hard. I was very happy when I found this set that had just enough of a cool edgy without being over-the-top. They are not very heavy which is something that I personally kind of like because they're not too formal. So they're great for every day and so far the whole family loves them. Having done a ton of research on price points and look and feel,  i'm very happy with the overall result!
