These are okay if you dont know what good, quality silverware is. They are not very heavy and feel cheap in comparison to my old hodge podge set. They almost feel hollow. They are shiny and the design is really nice, that is why I was so attracted to them. They are just okay. Nothing to write home about. I will probably keep them and gift them to someone because I dont want to hassle with returning them. My search for great flatware continues. Im sad because I wanted it to be done.
