I have a tableware story to share at the end of my review, so too keep from boring those who don’t care to read that, I’ll start with the technical.

This set is fabulous. I have zero regrets in choosing it, and while I DO NOT LOVE EVERYTHING about it, it’s the best set on the market for me, based upon the factors of price, availability, function, looks, and feel.
A few reviewers have complained they hated the small spoons and small forks. I disagree on the spoons, they are just fine. I agree on the small forks, but with a caveat – what occasions will you prefer a small fork to a large one? For me, it’s always for desserts alone, or any time I want to eat slowly on something decadent and calorie dense. In this regard, the micro-fork is adequate to the task, and in some ways, better than I would have chosen for myself. This set is super heavy duty. Check out my very detailed photos and measurements. Weigh your current set and compare the weights I have shown here. I think you’ll agree, this set is beyond the quality you will use even at the finest restaurants, where they have chosen tableware nicer than is found in most modern homes. BONUS: I was not expecting to see the hammered finish on the backs of every piece, just the knives. This makes the set even more beautiful and comfortable to hold. I was very pleasantly surprised.

Now, on to my story…

This flatware replaced some very heavy silverware and the upgrade is fantastic. It's very well made, super comfortable and looks beautiful. The finish is very shiny and elegant. The hammering adds depth and a good grip. The teaspoons and salad forks are slightly smaller than average but not so much that it impacts the usability. I guarantee you'll be able to get plenty of salad in your mouth with the forks. The elongated soup spoons make sipping soup a pleasure. The knives are sharp enough to cut meat but not so much to be dangerous. We are VERY happy with this flatware.

It took me a few days to write the review because I was taking time to really use them and see how they feel compared to my other tablewares, until i realized what a hidden gem this is in the ocean of products on Amazon!

First thing, these tablewares are of great value! I have the fancy tablewares I bought from boutique stores in marina diatrict in San Francisco but even compared to those ones, this hammered set has certainly won the game. The quality over price ratio is high and I'm super happy about it!

I HEART the "hammered" design! Simplistic and delicate st the same time. It feels like these pieces were being made by hand hammering by an artisan- yep that's the quality that surprised me. They are heavy enough but still light to handle. The longer I look at them, the more I'm fond of the design...

I've been putting off purchasing new flatware for 5 years now because I couldn't find any that truly rocked my world...and then I found these. I purchased these for everyday, but these can be used on your most formal table! The flatware is absolutley beautiful and it feels so good in your hand. The finish is everything Danialli claims it to be and more. The reason I only gave it 1 star under the feature for "light weight", because it is not, and THAT is a good thing. Sick and tired of cheap and lightweight flatware that just doesn't' "Bring it to the table", to coin a phrase. The hammering detail adds a really pretty sparkle when on the table. The pricing is fantastic - where can you get service for 8, quality and beauty for under 100 bucks..who would of thought. I'll be a Danialli customer for the rest of my life. Just plum beautiful!! Thank you for a wonderful product for my tableware!

Gorgeous silverware. I am so pleased I broke down and ordered it. Nice and heavy and in perfect condition. Looks so nice and modern! I did get 2 sets and will be watching for matching serving forks and spoons. (I might just order a spare set to cover any losses from grandkids...:)

I spent alot of time reading reviews on durability, people's likes/dislikes etc. For me, purchasing silverware took as much research as purchasing a kitchen appliance lol. I finally decided on the hammered design and it is beautiful, durable, and I have no regrets. I am a 'everything goes in the dishwasher" person, so this silverware gets no special treatment. The big forks were a great size, I liked that they were narrowed more than my old 15 yr Walmart set. The small forks are perfect for dessert. I like the rounded top knife for P&J. Overall, I am very pleased with my decision and set after 1 month.

Had seen these great stuff at a friend's house and just loved them. I bought them for myself cause think everyone who loves eating needs to have them in the kitchen. They are so perfect in size and how they fit when you hold them. Aside from beautiful sleek design they look so strong. My friend had them for a long time and they were still like new, apparently they are special stainless steel with nickel and more durable. Long story short, I am so happy with these and never had such great flatware that worth every penny.

The thing that bugs me about cheap silverware is that there's nothing to it, and it's really light. This, on the other hand, has some weight to it. The hammered appearance of the handles makes the silverware pretty, and the set of four settings includes dual-purpose knives (butter knife and steak knife), salad forks, teaspoons, dinner forks, and soup spoons. Sure, it's not as cheap as some sets, but I think this product is a good value for the money.

I'm tired of cheap flatware so I decided to order some quality pieces and these fit the bill. Very nice,clean up easily, nice balance and feel. You can tell the difference by looking at it. Very happy with this purchase

These are definitely restaurant quality that makes me excited to use it everyday... They are soo shiny and mesmerizing I can stare at them all day... I was looking for heavy 18/10 flatware and I found the best one! I highly recommend this if anyone is looking for lasting flatware

Beautiful Cutlery, I'm in love with it. Feels heavy and so smooth in your hand. Gorgeous and I'm glad I chose them!

Love, love, this flatware set! It looks so much better in person. The weight is perfect and it's beautiful. I was so afraid that I would have to send it back. I was so pleasantly surprised. I would definitely buy it again.

I was very happy with these! I was shocked at their weight (they are very lightweight for cutlery) however it's actually nice to hold! They clean very easily too which is a huge plus! Very classic & clean design with a modern touch! Great!

Feels substantial in the hand.
Simple hammered finish cleans easily, ie no filigree means easy clean up.
Bespeaks clean Scandinavian design...

This is exactly what i was looking for in stainless steel tableware. This is not the lightweight Chinese or Korean tableware that bends after a short while. Great buy!

Luv these! High quality and durable! Hammer finish is beautiful!

This product is definitely a high end piece. Arrived on time, beautifully packaged, each piece of silverware was wrapped in a separate bag and taped nicely to assure it doesn't get scratched. Lightweight and durable. Definitely highly recommend the product, either for your home or as a gift!

Great design! Still looks pretty. Perfect for dishwasher. Very satisfied.

heavy duty, fancy silverware set. goes well with our dishes.

This flatware set is absolutely gorgeous! I instantly fell in love with it. It was well wrapped and looked just like the picture. I loved them so much I ordered a 2nd set. If flatware matters to you, this set is worth every penny spent. You will not be disappointed.

We ordered this set due to the high quality of the stainless steel, and we are very happy with it! The set is very sturdy and feels nice, and the design is great! All pieces came individually packed, and were flawless without dents or scratches. I highly recommend this beautiful set!

Absolutely worth it. Heavy and beautiful design.

Stunning and Sparkly! Love this! So happy I took the chance and bought these!

Very nice piece of flatware, looks wonderful on our dinner table. We love it.

Beautiful hammered look

love this set, i bought two!

I loved the feel, weight, and look of this set-ordered a large set for holidays, and so glad I did...would be sad if it sold out before-very good value for lasting tablewear.

Great little modern art of flatware.

Really awesome looking heavy not flimsy at all. Glad I got these!
