VIVANI40-Piece Black Silverware Set for 8, Stainless Steel Black Flatware Set, Hammered Utensils Cutlery Set for Home, Restaurant, Wedding, Cafes, Dishwasher Safe

I was pleasantly surprised by this set. They are heavy weight and gorgeous. The back doesn't have the hammered pattern, but who cares!!! The packaging is very nice and neat. Each utensil is individually wrapped in plastic and rubberbanded together so theyre protected when you open the package. I'm excited to put these into rotation!

4 sets of 5 pieces for 13 dollars is well worth the money. They all look and feel great in hand.

Great quality so far! They have been through the dishwasher and hand washed and no signs of water spots. Awesome deal!

I really love the unique look of this silverware set, with the hammered handles. My husband loves that the fork prongs are symmetrical ;) My only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is that they are pretty lightweight compared to my other silverware; I think if I tried I could probably bend these. But overall I'm happy with them and will use them

Beautiful cutlery!

They looked nice overall when we opened them up. I washed them by hand before use as we always do with new things in the kitchen. It's now time to make dinner and I used one of the dinner knives to slice butter. In the butter were little slivers of metal from the serrated end of the knife. I had to throw out food and then rewash all of the knives. Hoping that's the end of the issue. Also already seeing scratches in the flatware from just washing and then putting away in a drawer.

I had a disappearing spoon problem -- my pricey hammered antique spoons were getting lost by a person who shall remain nameless but is still sitting in the corner for inadvertently losing them. (I GUARANTEE they went into the peanut butter jars from which he was mainlining it several times a day and throwing into the garbage. I don't need proof because I KNOW). I decided to get a new set of silver and let him lose as much as he wanted. I was so pleasantly surprised by both the price point and the nice look. You wouldn't confuse it with my original dayware (the manufacturer of which went out of business making replacement spoons cost a lot -- and I've replaced about 20 spoons since the peanut butter started appearing, and then disappearing). And of course, at least for now, none have gone missing.This entire service FOR 8 is a steal (for the price of 3 replacement spoons from my good set). If I had a kid in college, this would absolutely be something for their first apartment. And we're talking a 5 piece setting with soup- and tea- spoon as well as meat- and salad- fork and knife. While I wouldn't confuse them with my more expensive set, if I had a large group of people here, I wouldn't hesitate to throw these in as needed. And now, certain people had better not lose any of these, either....For this price, if you're looking for a nice (or extra) silver setting, by all means, grab this.(I have pictured them alone and with the original silver.
