My husband and I got this silverware 11 years ago when we got married as a wedding gift. Now that we have 2 kids that are using this silverware instead of the "baby" silverware we were going through the 8 pieces quickly, leaving me with a lot of dishes to have to do so we would have silverware. I decided to try and find some more of the same kind. From the picture they were exactly the same pattern as what we had. I really only needed the spoons but ended up having to order the entire set because no one sold these separately.
If I compare these to my old set they are a little different. They are wider and a little bigger than my old set. However, the pattern is exactly the same. They don't seem to weigh any more than the old ones which is nice. In my dishwasher, my silverware holder has the top on it that lets you put each piece in a slot to keep them separated. The knives are too fat to fit in it but the rest fit.
If I were to have purchased these without having the old set to compare to I would be completely happy with them. They are durable, elegant and light enough that my kids can use. Well, all but the knives. They are pretty long and a little on the heavy side...but I don't let my kids use the knives anyways so it is not an issue. Overall, I would recommend these!
