Other reviewers mentioned the awkward size of some of the utensils, and they were right. The big spoons are too large to realistically eat with, but we use them for serving. The small forks and spoons are awkwardly short, but the spoons work just fine for cereal as they are deep enough. We eat dinner with the salad forks, and they are really big, but it's not a problem. Very shiny, we are impressed
