This is such a pretty and durable set, I am very happy that I purchased it. I have had many compliments on it, as the swirl pattern is classy, the shine is elegant, and the fit of the forks and spoons in the mouth is very good. The forks are not too wide or long, and are sharp enough to for meat and salads, the knife cuts easily and is wide enough for spreads if need be, and the spoons are not sharp on the mouth and lips and are a good size. They seem to be weighted for easy handling and not heavy or slippery like some other sets are, so can be used by children also.
