Ordered this set of flatware to replace what was a complete set but over the years several items were missing. Badly needed a new set; didn't want dinner guests to have to use mismatched flatware. Best investment made in a long time. . .set is really very nice. Very good weight to each piece and very pleased with decision to opt for a 'shiny' finish instead of a flat finish -- makes the flatware look more expensive than it really was.
