Looks Great But Doesn't Last
We had registered for this flatware and received it as a wedding gift a couple of years ago. We love the look and feel, but I can’t tell you how disappointed we are in this product. Nearly every piece started pitting all over and rusting after we had them for about six months. Turns out that you have to polish the pieces to clean off the rust, but the rust spots return after only a couple of washings and just continues to get worse. Not to mention the flatware also completely marks up all of our dishes, too (also C&B from our registry). So much for white dishes. I'm sorry, but I don't have time to polish my flatware and my dishes on a monthly basis. I would never recommend this flatware. When you register for these things for your wedding, you expect to have them for years. It’s really disappointing that we have poor flatware and the marked up dishes to match.

Pits and Rust
These are beautiful silverware, but be prepared to hand wash. There are very specific directions on how to run them through a dishwasher (no other metals, no citrus in detergent). We followed those directions and STILL had serious problems with pits and rust. Never had problems with our old silverware. These should not be considered dishwasher safe.

Perfect Flatware!
I recently registered for this flatware and my husband and I both love it! It is simple yet sophisticated. It accents an outdoor cookout or formal dinner. Very versatile!

Fantastic choice!
We got this silverware 5 1/2 years ago and have loved it ever since. Guests sometimes comment about how nicely it feels in their hand-- yes, seriously. It has a nice weight to it, so it feels substantial, but is in no way heavy (our 4 yr old uses it without any problem!).

Great value for beautiful flatware
We registered for this flatware for our wedding last summer and couldn't be happier. We get compliments on it all the time. However, it is true that they are bottom heavy and will slip right off your plate. I find that they fit really well in hand and don't find te heaviness to be a burden. It took very little adjusting to get used to this, therefor I don't find it to be a hindrance.

We received this set 5 years ago as a wedding gift and they still look good as new. I love the style and weight.

Handle too heavy!
We got this flatware set eight years ago for our wedding. In the store, we thought these sat in our hands so nicely, and we liked the feel of the weight in our hands. However, after owning them for as long as we have, our floor has dents from how often these things have fallen off of our plates when clearing dishes. They are nice and heavy duty, but if you want to save your floors and your feet, choose a set with less weight in the handle.

Solid Flatware
My husband picked this flatware set. He liked that they are solid, heavier pieces. I really like them as well but they easily fall off plates and bowls when carrying dishes.

Everyday to fancy
We registered for this flatware set for our wedding registry and thankfully received settings for 12. We have 8 pieces of each in our flatware drawer and use for everyday. I love the lines because they translate well to nicer meals but work great for morning cereal. We've been married two years and they still look great!!

Form before function
The flatware looks nice but unless your butler or kitchen staff takes your plates to the kitchen for you, you will soon wish you field tested these before you bought them. I did not get the chance to actually pick any of the flatware up before my wife and I put it on our registry but I would have noticed is that they have too much weight in the handle. You can see this by simply looking at the pictures. The heavy handles cause the flatware to fly off your plate when cleaning up or even when you put them down on the side of your plate between bites. Pick another set and try them out first.

I love this product!!!
We got these as a wedding gift. They are so beautiful. The weight is perfect and having them makes me feel like such an adult. They are dishwasher safe, I haven't had any issues.

Held up very nice
We got this set 7 years ago as a wedding present and they still look great. Love the style, weight and feel of them. Love them.

Love it!
We received this flatware as a wedding gift. We love it! It is a little heavy, and sometimes if you aren't careful, it will fall off the plate. It is sleek looking and a wonderful product! We have had so many compliments.

Best Purchase Ever
Couture is my favorite. I have been married over 35 years, so I have seen many styles and purchased my share of flatware. I actually bought this pattern online without seeing it in the store and loved it from the first day. I would describe the flatware as beautiful but also practical. The design is graceful and curvy and at the same time clean lined and simple. It is timeless and easily fits with every occasion and style of dinnerware. I have had it for about 3 years and it has maintained its beauty and durability. I absolutely love it.

Beautiful but Not practical
During our first meal the soup spoon slid right into the bowl.

Great
Love the silverware. I noticed the water spots too. However I hand wash them once every six months with a little baking soda and water and they look brand new (no more water spots).

Beautiful!
I never thought I could actually like silverware this much but this set is beautiful. They are heavy and feel great in your hand, the long handles are nice for people with bigger hands like my husband. They have been in the dishwasher many times and still have the same shine as the day I brought them home.

Fabulous Flatware
We received (3) 20 piece flatware sets as a shower gift and I have been very happy with it. The shape fits so comfortably in your hand and the style is classic. The size of the flatware is not overpowering. Don't forget to register for the ladle if you are looking into the serving pieces that match as it does not come in the serving set.

Fantastic Flatware!
This flatware set is the perfect mix between modern design and timeless style. They are heavy duty and durable, perfect for everyday use. Yet, they are so chic, they are also perfect for entertaining.

Classic flatware
This flatware set is classy and elegant. We registered/received this flatware when we married 5 years ago and we still love them! They are contoured nicely so they are comfortable when eating. Also, we like that are heavy-weighted and feel solid. This is everyday flatware we will have for a very long time!
