I bought 2 12-packs of forks, and two of spoons for my home kitchen. Seems like those get used so fast I can't keep them in the drawer. A few more is really helping. nnThis flatware is termed "medium weight" but is hardly flimsy. It's going to hold up very well to years and years of home use. I've purchased "affordable' flatware elsewhere and had to throw it out or take it back because of its poor quality. It either bent up or stained, or had a nasty metallic taste that made it unusable. Not at all the case with this flatware. It has the high quality look and feel of what you'd find at Macy's or Dillard's, but at discount store prices. Finally, money well-spent! At these prices and quality, I'll be buying matching knives soon. Matching flatware, what a luxury!
