Great!
By midwestmom
I just received my order of flatware. I ordered one 20-piece set, as I wasn't sure if I would like it and figured paying for return shipment on one set would be cheaper than multiple sets.I love the weight and feel of the flatware. I specifically researched heavier, casual flatware. (I found a website that sells flatware and had a specific page listing the heaviest sets out there - Gingko Firenze was listed. They were selling the 20 piece set for more than Amazon, though.)The price here on Amazon, I think, is an awesome deal!I gave 4 stars, and not 5, for this reason: the knife handles. Another reviewer seemed bothered about hollow-handled knives that came with this set. In my research, it seems that (for stainless flatware) hollow-handled knives are of better quality than solid knives. The maker can use hollow handles and insert higher-quality knife blades, rather than stamping the whole solid knife out of one piece of metal.In fact, looking at Ginkgo's own site (where they sell Firenze, but again, at a higher cost than here on Amazon,) they sell both solid knives and hollow-handled knives. The hollow-handled knives are more expensive.So in my limited, internet-researched opinion, one would WANT hollow-handled knives.I was looking forward to getting my 20-piece set with hollow-handled knives, but my set seems to have solid knives. Oh well - it's still a great price, and really, the knives are the least used pieces of our flatware.So for getting solid knives instead of hollow-handled, I gave the 4 stars instead of 5.As for other reviewers' comments on the balance of the flatware and having them fall off of dishes - I don't know. My flatware is usually on the table, and if I'm walking around or clearing the table, I tend to make sure the flatware is fully on the plate.Overall - great price, great look and feel, very happy! I just ordered a few more 20-piece sets!

Wonderful!
By peonies&fireworks
I was having quite a time replacing my silverware. I wanted service for 12, 18/10 stainless, heavy, and minimal design. I also had a very modest budget. This flatware has been great; it fit all of my requirements and then some. And with the four for three promotion, I was able to get service for 16! The knives are very sharp without being serrated, and they feel great in the hand. I personally feel that the larger spoon is a little too large, but it certainly isn't an issue.Overall, I am very happy with my purchase. As I've only had this flatware for a couple of months, I can't really attest to their wear. I will try and update in 6 months to a year.UPDATE 1/15/12:I've had this flatware for about 6 months now, and it's really holding up. Really, my only issue is that there are these little spots on them. It could be the flatware itself, or it could be my terrible terrible dishwasher/city water/detergent. Using barkeeper's friend, though, the spots come right off.

By Paula
This flatware is very heavy, which is why we chose it. The knife blades are sharper than typical and not serrated. We noticed two issues though: the knife handles are hollow and don't feel like the rest of the set. A couple of handles had minor but noticeable rough spots on the ends. Originally I gave this set five stars because when I ordered it the cost was seventy-six dollars. Now that it's selling for one hundred thirty-five dollars, it's over-priced. Overall, we're very happy with this purchase.
