Novell Collection Stainless Steel 24 Piece Elegant Sturdy Top Grade Flatware Place Settings Set (Clear/Ice)

While this is not as cool looking as I thought it might be, the quality is above average. Especially in this price range. The knives are very nice with serrated tips and sharp blade near the handle. They look good just not as "fun" as I was hoping but I will mix them in with my more colorful set. Being clear they will match just fine.

Pros:Quality to price ratio is very highComfortable to holdReceived very quicklyConsists of practical 4-piece settings: no seldom-used salad forks or long handled teaspoonsCons:Metal does not extend into plastic handlesPieces won't stack evenly in silverware organizer due to thickness of handlesOne piece out of 24 had a metal sliver at joint with handle that I was able to remove easily

These are absolutely gorgeous. Hard to tell from the pic, but the handles are squared. The knives are half serated; unlke your typical set where the knife is little more than a butter spreader, these can actually cut something :) I got a white/ivory set which looks very pearl-esque to me. The stainless part appears to be well attached to the handle. The whole thing is very elegant and seems quite sturdy. I will update if anything disproves my initial analysis!Dear seller: Now if I could just get a 2nd set, or at least some more teaspoons..... please chase down your supplier and nag them for me!!

Now that I have had these utensils for several months, I have to tell you, they really are poor quality. We have had several pieces just break in our hands as we use them.

I love these utensils, but EVERY fork broke where the handle meets the metal. The clear handle stays clear thru repeated dishwashing

I loved the look and ordered 3 sets for our family (when all together of 14). Two forks broke while having dinner and using them. Several other utensils have since broken. The description states that they can be washed in the dishwasher, but we are thinking that is the reason they are falling apart. Soon my entire set will be gone and it's too late to return them. Love the look, but unpractical!

These are beautiful but very fragile. I would not recommend them. The break very easily doing everyday things like cutting a butter pattie or cutting a cheese cake. I broke a spoon dipping dog food from a can. I am very disappointed in this product. If I could I would return them and get a refund but I think I have had them too long.

A little flimsy but cute collection.
