The design, the price and the fact that this set is 18/10 is perfect. Good weight, not too light or too heavy. Utensils are sturdy, and the fork prongs aren't flimsy at all. This set doesn't dull after washing. Just be aware that the handles are concave underneath, which you can't tell in the photos. The knife handle is the only one that is solid. Not a dealbreaker for me though. After owning a set for a few months, I was happy with them and bought another 20-piece.
