We bought this stainless flatware in a pinch one evening. Much to my surprise its not the temporary set I thought it would be, its a keeper. For me the true test of silverware is how much will the spoon will bend when I try to pry a bit of thoroughly frozen ice cream out of the carton - and this doesn't. We've had it for about 5 years now, and not a bent spoon in the bunch.
It's amasingly strong, and the finish is as bright today as the night we bought it, and for the prise you just can't go wrong!

I've had the brushed steel version of this flatware for the last 6 years and I love them! The pieces have gone through the dishwasher, been dropped on the tile, and been licked by the dog a thousand times and they still look great, not a stain or a dent on them. The pieces are heavy and well shaped and they feel good to hold. I also love the modern, simple design - the pieces are elegant and eye catching without a lot of frills. I would recommend this set to anyone.

This makes an excellent addition to the kitchen. The ergonomics of the pieces is excellent and the weight and style shows care in manufacture. I bought 3 sets, and will get me another for my friend's wedding gift. Too bad it doesn't come in an eight-place setting.

I've had this set for at least 5 years, possibly as much as 8. I love it -- it's modern and clean and has just the right weight and fit in the hand. My one complaint is that there's not a matching serving/hostess set. (And I even went so far as to write Hampton a few years ago to ask if there was one.) A warning: Although I probably don't have the documentation anymore, I'm positive that there was something about not using citrus dishwashing soap/detergent with this flatware. It's never been a problem for me to use non-citrus. With that said, I've never had any trouble eating citrus with the flatware, so I presume it's something to do with the detergent chemicals.

This flatware took an ENORMOUS TIME to get; one order got cancelled by Amazon all on its own after WEEKS OF WAITING FOR IT AND NOTIFYING AMAZON I REALLY WANTED IT. But I ended up getting it. The flatware is perfectly balanced, fits beautifully in one's hand and is visually lovely. It makes a gorgeous table setting, really. I wish I had ordered two sets. But I won't push my luck. I'm just happy loving and adoring it on my table and holding it in my hand. You really can't see from the picture, but the handles of the flatware form a triangle and fit great in the hand.

This set was nice, initially. I loved the way they looked, and they were very comfortable to hold. However, after having these for about 3 months, they are beginning to acquire rust spots. Very annoying, and definitely not something I would put out for others to see. Not worth the money....

I have absolutely no complaints on this product. I love the shape of the handles, each flat end of the "pyramid" fitting comfortably against your hands. Each piece is weighted for easy handling and perfectly balanced for control. The dinner knives are superb, even for slicing through meats. I've had no trouble with any piece bending under pressure. I also wash this silverware in a metal sink, with no scuffs or scratches noticeable. The package was shipped as planned, arrived in a timely manner, and everything was well intact.

A modern shape, a heavy feel, we've loved this set since we bought it a year ago. We bought another one from Amazon recently as well to supplement the first. The only thing is that 2 butter knives from the first set actually rusted (from the first set, about a year old)! This is not about Amazon, more about the actual product. I must emphasize that I would buy this set again in a heartbeat! Solid, with a modern art twist, we just love the shape and feel of it, despite any rust issues. Highly recommended.

My husband got these for us for Christmas. We have, admittedly had a hilarious set of mis-matched, bent, ugly silverware for years.... he wanted us to have one, nice, matching set. These were ok until about the 2nd or third time they went through the dishwasher. They ALL have rust spots all over them, both black and red rust, just hideous... I think I will probably need to get my tetanus booster just to keep using these! They are not high quality; they are made in China... so who knows what sort of chemical or alloy they use instead of stainless steel. Very disappointing. Also, they are very heavy and awkward. They don't lie flat together in the drawer because of the pyramid shaped handle. I would not buy these again. In fact, I wish we hadn't donated our ugly silverware to Goodwill.... at least it wasn't rusty and dirty looking. : (
