First impressions? This set looks way more expensive than it actually is! The mirror polish gives it such a sleek, high-end vibe that instantly upgraded my dining table.

The weight is perfect – not too heavy, not too light. The steak knives are SHARP (finally cut through medium-rare steak like butter). Also obsessed with how the curved handles fit my grip – no hand fatigue during long dinner parties!

Dishwasher confession: I’ve run these through at least 20 cycles now. Still shiny AF, though I did learn the hard way not to leave them soaking overnight (minor tarnish incident).

Only gripe? The dessert spoons feel slightly oversized – like they’re trying to moonlight as soup spoons. Not a dealbreaker though.

Final verdict: 9/10 would recommend to anyone wanting restaurant-quality flatware without the insane markup. Even my bougie aunt thought they were ‘imported from Italy’ 😂
