I looked far and wide for a new set of everyday flatware. I was pleasantly surprised by this set! The red is beautiful, just what I was looking for, and so far the quality seems quite good. I haven't had them very long, so I'm not sure how the pieces will hold up over time, but so far so good. I actually purchased three sets so that I would have 12 settings. When I received them, one knife was broken. I called Great Offer Stock and had a replacement knife within two days! I hope these last, because I just love them!
