Ginkgo International Lafayette 42-Piece Stainless Steel Flatware Place Setting, Service for 8 Plus 2-Piece Hostess Set

I am very picky about my silverware; I was looking for a set for holidays but ended up keeping these as my every day. I loved the hammered finish they look so elegant They are high-quality they're safe in the dishwasher the weight is nice in your hands. They look good all year round not only are they my every day, but they are my holiday silverware. I bought this set back in 2013 it is 2022 and I still love them the only downside is that I cannot buy another set. And little by little when I find the serving pieces I plan to get them. I would definitely recommend this set.

I have purchased this set about 4 times now for my children and an extra for me. Excellent for the price sturdy.

looks great at first but not so sure for the long haul. saw some slight rust spots on a knife and after washing they pieces look a little dull

I love this however the regular forks are a bit larger than expected and a little rough on a few edges. I rarely use them as the smaller forks are a normal size so I use them anyway. I would buy them again

I ordered two boxes. One box was perfect. The other box had one teaspoon and one tablespoon with jagged, sharp edges. I don’t want to return as I LOVE the set but I would like replacement pieces to be sent. Also, I thought these were made in the USA but all pieces are stamped Vietnam. I have searched high and low and this is an amazing set. I love them and would give all 5 stars if it t weren’t for those two pieces. I will amend my review if I am able to get replacement pieces.

I have had this Silverware for over 10 years and I enjoy using it, but overtime some pieces were missing and some got chewed up by the disposal. So I thought if I could find it, I would buy another set and save the first set for replacement pieces. What I liked about this set is they included 2 Serving Spoons and the pieces fit nicely in my hand.

Gorgeous set with high shine and excellent quality. Just received today and the set was exactly as expected. I love the round spoons and the subtle hammered handles. I will update review after I've used them for a while.Update: I have had this set for many months and it's still just as shiny and spotless as the day I bought it. I love it and it looks so high end. The forks are HUGE but most people seem to like that. I use the dessert fork, personally, because I don't like a very large fork. I do have one teaspoon that has an odd "ring" on the bowl of the spoon. It's the only piece that has it; all the others remain shiny and looking fine. No idea what caused it.

Beautiful design. Love the weight and balance of this set. Very polished. So far so good. Good choice for middle of the run purchase.**Update**I bought these sometime in 2018. I don’t understand the reviews that have pics of rusted areas. Mine have not rusted AT ALL. Now, that said, the difference may be that I use a heated dry setting in my dishwasher, I always fill my Jet Dry dispenser and dry my flatware if needed before putting them in my drawers. They’ve held up beautifully. I’m so happy with them that I’m buying another set for my son. So, yes I’d purchase again…and will in about 15 minutes. Lol!

Beautiful flatware!! it not only looks rich it is well made and feels nice in my hand. It has great weight and I wish I had found this set earlier.

Could not be happier with this flatware. It is beautiful looking, Bling for the table! It is quite sturdy,and solid. It screams quality when looking at it and when its in the hand. It is also very comfortable to use..it feels good in the hand.It holds up perfectly in the dishwasher. The hammered look is stunning.I highly recommend this set...either for everyday use or for those special occasions

Desgraciadamente faltó un cuchillo. lo compré a un precio casi increíble , menos de 700. Así que haré de cuenta que el juego es para 7 personas en vez de 8. Los cubiertos tienen buen peso, son muy bonitos, hechos en Vietnam. Si los encuentran en rebaja, valen muchísimo la pena.

Good quality

Have had for over a year and still look beautiful. Reason for 4 instead of 5 is that although dishwasher safe you do have to handwash probably once a month to remove stains. Very sturdy though
