Hotel Lux 77-Piece 18/10 Stainless Steel Flatware Set, Silver, Service for 12 -

I havent started using it but arrived in good condition. The quality seems to be good and nicely balanced spoon and knives (bit longer though). I will provide update once I have used it couple of times. The forks have some stains after few washes. This is not a good sign of good cutlery. Given the price I have paid it does seems to be a good bargain. I will not recommend it to anyone

Llegaron muy bien! Muy bonitos

I'm always skeptical to buy silverware online. I like to go into the store and bend the fork tongs and spoons back to see if they will hold up to everyday use. These are great, though. The patterns are elegant. None of the forks have bent. The spoons hold up to the ice cream challenge. The serving set is an added bonus. And weight is just right. I was a little worried that they would be too large and heavy, but they feel like a quality set that is fine for everyday use. My only complaint is that they're the larger European size. The forks are REALLY big. One is long and thin and the other is short and wide. So there really isn't a difference between the two of them in terms of size. I think that I'm going to buy another set of smaller salad forks. There are enough patterns that I don't think that anyone would notice if you incorporated in a similar quality set. It's also always a problem when you lose a piece or need a serving utensil that is either discontinued or not carried by the line. These already have different patterns with each piece, so you could easily add or supplement similar tableware without anyone noticing that you were replacing or combining patterns. I like that in terms of longevity of the flatware. On the left of the photo there is a Continental silverware fork (courtesy of my mother-in-law, whose silverware is often used and broken by children). You can immediately see the difference in both the size and quality of the two forks on the right.

i have lived in my home for about seven years now and i'm STILL building up a "grown up" collection. you know, real cotton sheets, real dishes, real drawers, real linens as opposed to the collegiate first-time-on-your-own-so-your-parents-took-you-to-ikea cheapo collection. i've been looking for something elegant and old fashioned but eclectic and most if not all silverware collections, new and old, have the same designs for all the pieces. i get it, its the "grown up" thing to want your silverware to match. whatever. so this was it. it is PERFECT. its old timey, its historic, its fancy and classy, but it has just a touch of eclectic chic that i can add in other pieces if i want or need to. the servingware is a really nice addition and honestly, i do love that it came with extra teaspoons (how did you know that i go through a ton of spoons!). everything feels heavy and solid. its all sized bigger than the old cheapo sad silverware which makes me feel like i'm at my rich family's house instead of an apartment. all in all, very nice so far!

Beautiful cutlery, very good quality.
