Mikasa Zena 45-Piece Flatware Set, Silver

I was initially very pleased with this cutlery set – it looked sleek, felt sturdy, and seemed like a good value for the price. However, after just a few months of normal use and handwashing, some of the pieces have started to rust. I expected better durability, especially since I took care to dry them properly after each wash. Unfortunately, the rust makes them look old and unhygienic. I wouldn’t recommend this set if you're looking for long-term use.

Lovely weight, comfortable long, slender handles with wide base spoons and forks. Straightforward tableware, yet elegant. Beautifully shiny finish. Mikasa doesn't disappoint. Great buy. Gifted myself, why not? I'm super enjoying, everyday. Washes up perfectly in the dishwasher.

I have been using my French Countryside flatware set for about a year now. It has held the shine and quality despite it being put in the dishwasher regularly. I wanted to add to the set but was disappointed it is out of stock.

Got this for my mom, as she has this same set but needed more place settings. Beautiful modern minimalist set that has a nice weight to it.

This Mikasa Rockford 45-Piece 18/10 Stainless Steel Flatware Set with Serving Utensil Set is elegantly stunning and yet very functional. High quality stainless steel flatware with nice weight to each piece without being too heavy. The shine is beautiful, and the sleek simple design is gorgeous. They feel comfortable to hold. I'm very happy with this purchase that I know will last. I'm using them for everyday, but they could be used with your fine China too. Price point isn't too bad. Fantastic purchase!

I was fortunate to find this set on a warehouse markdown after looking at countless sets of minimalist and modern sets and couldn't be happier! Each piece is beautiful, supple (can you say that about flatware?), and has decent weight so it doesn't feel cheap. The pieces are balanced in my hands affected by rheumatoid arthritis which makes using some pieces of flatware difficult and I don't feel as if I am going to drop a utensil or can't grip the knife securely to cut firm vegetables. While I looked at the only American-made flatware company's offerings, I found this set to be the most attractive when compared and the warehouse deal couldn't be beat.
