Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This review was updated again 3/13/13 below. Still going strong and looking great for 5 years now! I got this set for my mother who was extremely happy with the stylish look, quality, weight per piece, sturdiness, and value (I was the one happy with the value). This is a very handsome flatware set that can be used on a daily basis or for special occasions. It is well worth the value and after seeing and using these I will be buying a set for my sister for Christmas. You won't be disappointed with the price, value, look, or feel. This is an excellent set and I'm glad I chose this particular service. I have no regrets in purchasing this set. Please be aware that although J A Henckels is a quality German company this set of flatware is manufactured in another country. Even so, the quality is NOT compromised and meets or exceeds Henckels standard of quality. UPDATE 11/25/2010 Due to a question I decided to update this since I forgot I had rated this set. I am still extremely happy with this purchase. Unlike another rater none of our flatware has scratches or rust. I tend to wonder what the other poster is cleaning with. Not one piece has bent either. One would have to purposely try and bend it with force or use it as a pry bar to open something. My mother's set is still flawless and still looks great. Our only bummer is someone threw away 2 spoons and that had nothing to do with Henckels. IMHO regardless of where this was manufactured the owner and I are still extremely happy with this set of flatware after 2 years of daily use. If these unhappy raters have bought from 3rd party vendors that could be the reason for their problem. (Buying knock offs.) Buy direct from Amazon LLC and you should get the real deal. Update 3/13/2013 This set is still going fine and all "remaining" items still look great. As my folks got older I think 2 or 3 pieces got thrown away accidentally over the years. Going on 5 years now with this great set!
