Hampton Forge Monique Mirror 20 Piece Set, 2.50 LB, Metallic

So I picked these up because I wanted a silverware set for everyday use after my previous 2 sets succumbed to the attrition that comes with time. I cannot say where the silverware goes since we never take it outside of the house, but we lose a few pieces every year until we're fighting over the last couple spoons in the house. When I ordered these, I was a little worried that they would look too plain. Like the silverware at a college dinning hall. But to my surprise, they came with a nice polish, and though the design is simple, it has enough weight and thickness to them to make them feel and look like a set that belongs to a household, and not a college dorm room. So with that said, I definitely recommend these. They are a good replacement set for those pieces that have gone missing in the twilight zone known as your kitchen drawer.

I have used another line of Hampton Forge silverware for many, many years and have loved the quality of the silverware and also appreciated the long lasting quality of it. Overtime we have lost some pieces of our silverware and I have needed to get some more so I wanted to try this set. It is at a great price point so it seemed like it was worth the try. I was a little confused when opening the box though, because it says "Tomadachi" on it- so not sure if the style name changed or what. The silverware is lighter weight-wise than my other silver ware and slightly longer but overall I'm pleased with it. I used the fork to eat some salad and it did seem to be a little weird- like it was too blunt or something to properly pick up the lettuce and I'm not sure if that's just the style of the fork or if it just needs to be used a few times first. I don't know if this would be my absolute first choice in silverware, but for everyday use and for the price, it is a good deal.

Nice set

I got these to replace my utensils I bought from the store with the giant red "Target" as it's logo and while the cost is similar and the design is similar these utensils have very distinct edges.What I mean is my other forks/spoons have that same stamped metal look/feel but the edges of the whole utensil has a bit more polish and more rounded edges. They feel smooth in your hand.These, on the other hand, have sharp edges, more right angles to them, and it just feels worse in your hand. Not as much effort or thought into spending the time to round the edges and make them feel better.Now, that being said, they work great. They eat just fine. I don't see any difference in utility between these and my other utensils, but just a cheaper feel and sharper design.If you can't find a box of items like these for the same price then these are a great replacement for the price point.

Here is a high quality flatware set for a family of four. The pieces have a hefty, quality feel to them, as well as a nice silvery lustrous finish. The knives have a good serration (cutting edge) and the forks have solid tines. The set includes an instruction sheet and warranty page - warranted for 25 years. That's good to know and also there is a notice to not use any detergent with lemon added, to avoid damaging the finish. The set comes nicely packaged and would make a nice gift. I suspect with reasonable care this set will last a very long time. 0
