flatware is exactly as pictured, heavyweight, and nice finish.

I sent this set of silverware to a newly single male friend as a housewarming gift and he absolutely loved it. It is sturdy and large enough for any person to handle and feels substantial. He was extremely pleased with his gift and very happy with the service from Overstock.com. That made the gift worth giving! Thanks Overstock.com!

I LOVE this flatwear! This is my first set of good, quality flatwear and I am very happy with my purchase. Each piece is heavy and large. (The forks are a little too large as they could qualify for a lethal weapon!). Never-the-less, I ordered two sets and I am very pleased! You can't beat the price, either. Season's Greetings!
