Product review (5 stars): were really heavy metal and very sturdy. These are lovely to look at
The original ones I bought 30 years ago, were really heavy metal and very sturdy.  These are lovely to look at, but nothing like the original ones used to be like.  But, really, nothing is like the old stuff anymore.  I love them and am enjoying them.  They look very nice and I get a lot of comments about them.
