In our busy home the cutlery 'caddy' is the fastes way to get a meal going. Our first was a caddy set from Crate & Barrel. Great set, good feel in use. I suspect our kids were not that careful tossing trash in the garbage, and we lost fork after spoon, etc. I'd had enough of the odd mix of knives and soup spoons and came to Amazon to find another caddy. This set sounded geart so inexpensively, I thought I'd pick up a couple and fill in when stuff was lost. BOTTOM LINE: Cutlery is thin
and awfully light weight. One becomes aware of "balance" in good cutlery when using a spoon or fork because these light utensils have none. Hard to 'work' with, and the fork is absurd trying to cut with the tines. Going to order the more expensive set which, I assume, will be about the quality of the Crate & Barrel product.

enjoyed this item. didn't expect it to be this light but it's still stylish and functional. makes it easy for the teens to keep it clean.

While I realize I didn't spend a lot of money on this product, I didn't expect it to be quite so cheaply made. I put the silverware in the dishwasher and one of the spoons became worthless. Apparently, the silverware is made in two parts and the handle became loose. When you use a knife on butter that is not soft, it literally will not cut straight down. As you have probably surmised, I would not recommend this product. On the plus side, I bought two sets, so if you need one just let me know. I'll sell it cheaply.

This is a great and convenient item. I love the look/style. The flatware is slightly light (could be a bit heavier). Practical and stylish.

This is our second set, bought it for back up. We really like the hanging rack, does not take up much space.

I bought the hanging flatware set about three months ago. I immediately put it out in the middle of my bar. The first thing everyone who came to visit noticed was my new "centerpiece". It's great when you need to grab a spoon or butter knife really quick and you don't have to open any drawers or check the dishwasher. They are always easily on hand and guests never have to look for the silverware drawer. They are excellent quality for the price I paid but they do have the same characteristics of other cheaper made flatware. ex. shallow spoons, uncontoured forks etc. I loved it so much, I'm getting two more sets to use when I have parties. I can set the caddys around and no one will have to be searching for silverware
