Artaste 56907 Rain 18/10 Stainless Steel Flatware 36-Piece Set, Gold Finish, Service for 12

This is an excellent flatware set.I like that it is stainless steel and has 12 pieces of each type: knife/fork/spoon.All the pieces are weighted nicely and feel great in my hands. I like that the pieces are smooth, but not too shiny. The set has held up perfectly to any/all the dishwasher detergents we used over the past 8.5 years, and still looks new. We haven't had any issues with rust, bending or scratching. I like that the knife is serrated and can be used to cut most meats.HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

They seem excellent for the price. Nice to hold in hands - sculptural .Very satisfied.

I ordered this year's ago and really liked them. Over the years, they have dwindled down for reasons everyone knows (kids). Anyway, I shopped around and looked alot before choosing these again. They are awesome! I especially like the salad forks for me. They are not short and fat like most salad forks. They are a slimmer slightly shorter version of the dinner fork. I am so happy with this set again!!!

Buy these. You won't regret it. I just got my new silverware and got to open it and I'm super happy with it. I was leery about ordering it online because I like to be able to feel the edges of the spoons and forks to make sure they are smooth. I have trouble using them if not. 😁 Yes, I'm odd. I needed to order mainly because I think one of my kids has been throwing my butter knives away. I was down to like 5 out of a service for 8. This is a problem for my family of 4 with 3 of them being teenagers. Sandwiches aplenty around here. These pieces are so nice! The forks are larger than I'm used to but should be fine. They are substantial but not too heavy. I had thought at first there were flaws on the knives but it was just some black stuff that scratches off easily. Overall I think this is a great buy! Will definitely buy again if needed and will be purchasing for wedding showers in the future!Update: These are still pretty but the butter knives rust frequently and are hard to clean.

I had been researching silverware to replace my set for years but desperately needed spoons so first just ordered teaspoons. I was in love! I've made three separate orders and finally got a whole set for 12 in late 2016. I had to wait for all the pieces to be available in the rain pattern. All of the pieces have held up well with no rust or putting. I love the weight of the pieces, the style and the finish. I have recently had to scrub up a few pieces to get some stains off of them, as I usually just run then through the dishwasher, but the stains came right off and they look as great now as when I first purchased them. I see the serving set and serving spoons and forks are available now so that's the next order. Can't believe how inexpensive these are for the quality you get. As nice as flatware sets two to three times their price. Love them!

I wanted something plain, yet tasteful and nice. I was surprised to find this silverware was not only all of that but much more. I recognize this from years and years and years ago when I used to go out to eat frequently. OMGosh! I'm beyond pleased. Nicely boxed, each piece is individually wrapped. The knives have a handle that's large enough to be easily gripped, the teaspoons are a nice size and the forks have long tines and are weighty without being heavy. I am delighted with this set. I have no need for soup spoons or salad forks, so this was exactly what I was looking for. They shine like mirrors and are well made. I wanted 18/10 silver, which they appear to be and as for durability, if they've been around in restaurants, they have to be pretty darn good. Great set at 12 each and a good price for such quality. I'd give it a dozen more stars if I could.

After my recent divorce and realizing that i pretty much had nothing left I started to look at all the things I needed to replace. Silverware was one of the hardest things for me to pick out for some reason. I really didn't want to spend as much as I did on this but after reading reviews on the cheaper stuff I did not want some lightweight stuff that would rust in the dishwasher. So I finally decided on these pieces and now am so happy I spent the extra money. These are nice heavy pieces that fit well and balanced in your hand. After several runs through the dishwasher they are as shiny and beautiful as the day I took them out of the plastic. My advice is to spend the extra for quality 18/10 stainless. I recommend these to anyone who wants a good set of silverware that will last. One thing I didn't know when ordering is that they don't fit into the slots in my dishwasher that are made for silverware because the ends are too wide. For me this is no big deal but it may be for other people.

Very happy with the quality of this flatware. Classic design, nice weight, looks great on my tables. My rating would be a 5 except that I ordered 4-3 pieces sets for a total of 48 forks, spoons and knives. I received 48 forks and 48 spoons but only had 21 knives. Between all 4 sets I was shorted 27 knives. I didn't have time to call and have more shipped before the luncheon but fortunately I had enough other similar knives that I don't think anyone noticed.
