Henckels Plaza 65-pc 18/10 Stainless Steel Flatware Set

I have been looking for new silverware for a couple years, but just couldn't find what I wanted. It was either too cheap or too expensive or too light weight, etc. This is absolutely perfect! First of all, the design goes all the way around each piece of silverware, which is highly unusual. I had decided I wanted a design in which there was a band going around the handle, but every other one I looked at had the design only on the front, even the sets that were much more expensive. I feel like this is an example of the excellent quality of this flatware. Secondly, the knives are nicely serrated. I don't even think I'll need to use steak knives for meat. Again, this is very unusual. I also have noticed that in reviews of other silverware, people often find a couple pieces that have blemishes, sharp edges, etc. Every single piece of this flatware is perfect. In terms of weight, it is definitely on the heavier side. I don't think I could bend this if I tried. The handles are not "flat", but have a nice girth to them, making them feel sturdy and expensive. In my opinion, the size of the pieces is perfect. Some of the other products I looked at had huge teaspoons and very large dinner/soup spoons (which made them the size of a serving spoon). These are standard sized pieces. And lastly, they are beautiful - highly polished to a gloss finish which I know will last. And there is a lifetime warranty. I'm very, very pleased!

Very disappointed in the finish. Immediately after starting to use my new set, a dingy brownish tint became evident. I've tried all of the tricks to remove it and I use a the best grade of a name brand dishwasher pod. I'm so sorry I didn't buy Lenox. I sold everything in my move and bought Henckels instead of Lenox and wish I didn't.
