Love this flatware set
We received a complete set for 6 of this flatware set to go with our dinnerware from C&B. This is a gorgeous, stainless steel flatware set that is light but very sturdy. The size is perfect for both men, women & kids. Will definitely be purchasing more once we start a family.

Perfect Flatware
I looked all over for flatware that wouldn't break my budget but at the same time have a nice quality feel and appearance. This product covers it all. It is nicely weighted, durable and looks beautiful on the table.
I have had numerous friends who have asked me where I found it. I give it 5 stars.

Great Flatware
I've been using this flatware since Thanksgiving and like it a lot. The high quality and simple but elegant design lends itself to use with most any table setting. The handles are heavy but once you know this you just adjust accordingly. And no problem whatsoever with the finish. There's no scratching, pitting, rust or any other noticeable difference. I am very pleased with this purchase.

Gorgeous flatware
Beautiful flatware; nice weight and heft; the contours feel great in your hand. Stylish enough for dinner parties and fit for everyday use. I've had the flatware for three months now and haven't noticed any tarnishing or pitting on the flatware from dishwasher cleaning.
One oddity, though, when I purchased the flatware originally there was a different style spoon in the set that I had to take back to the store and exchange.

Heavy, balanced flatware!
I opened my box of flatware with much anticipation as they were a very important part of my 1930's kitchen renovation. Each piece is well-balanced, elegantly curved to fit the hand, drop dead gorgeous! Simple design appropriate for any style dining, really a classic. I would even use these at my Thanksgiving table. (maybe I will do it this year!)

So Glad We Found These
My husband is very particular about the flatware he uses and we have always had trouble finding something that he likes the feel and weight of and I like the look and the durability. The Coutour flatware goes well with our everyday dishes as well as the china. Always a pleasure to set the table no matter what the occasion and my husband helped pick out the pattern. He is very pleased with this flatware and I love it.

Very Heavy
This flatware collection is very durable and looks very nice! The only downfall is that they are very bottom heavy so be careful placing them on the edge of a plate, they may tip, causing food to spill. I speak from experience!

Pitting and Flying Silverware
We received this flatware as a wedding gift and within a couple months the knives were pitting with what looked like rust. When we took them back to the the store they cleaned them for us and we were told this is how all their flatware is and we would just have to continually polish our everyday flatware. Within a couple weeks of the cleaning this pitting was back and worse in some spots!!! We ended up returning all our place settings and getting Scoop style flatware. We love our new flatware and their is NO pitting. Also the Couture flatware is VERY unbalanced and was flying off our plates on a daily basis when cleaning up from meals. Overall I would NOT recommend. These may look great, but not worth the money!

Well-made but unbalanced
I convinced my wife to get this set over another, because I liked the extra heft and solid feel. Well, they do have a nice feel when holding them but the design is flawed because they are too heavy on the ends, particularly the forks, which are CONSTANTLY flinging off of the plates. If you are having a pre-set, sit down meal, that's not an issue until you try to take the plates back to the kitchen. For casual use, it's even worse, with the fork guaranteed to fling whatever is on the plate as the flatware pivots off the plate! I want to love the pieces because I like the shape, but they are totally impractical, so much so, I am looking fro something to replace them.

Beautiful flatware
This flatware pattern is beautiful and classic. Has a nice weight, but is a bit bulky in the drawer.

I have had this set for over a year now. My husband and I registered for the placesettings, steak knives and serving peices for our wedding. I was hesitant and almost decided to go with something else based on several of the reviews I read on this site (mainly the issues with the rust spots), however we loved the simple but elegant design, and that the placesettings had a complete line of matching serving peices available. So far we are loving this product! I haven't noticed ANY rust spots (although quick tip- Mr. Clean Magic Eraser will remove these spots if they appear!), and although they are heavy I haven't really had any issues with them flying off my plate like other reviewers suggested. I think my old set of silverware was heavy as well so I'm used to handling them carefully. Due to the polished steel it WILL show water spots and fingerprints- this is just the nature of the polished look. If you are concerned about this you should look at brushed steel. Overall, we couldn't be happier with this set. It is beautiful, classic, and looks great with everyday dinnerware and fine china-- very versatile.

Love!
We got this flatware off our registry for our wedding. I was a little nervous to originally put them on our registry based off of a review I read about them. We have had our couture flatware now over 6 months and have had no issues with tarnishing or rust spots, etc. We put them in the dish washer daily and they still look just as beautiful as when we first got them. I did purchase the flatware polish just in case, however so far there has been no need to polish them.

Heavy to a fault (minor)
We checked out several flatware and chose this one for its look, feel and weight. We use them everyday. My one issue is that, like others, they easily fall off plate. We have adjusted (minor one at that- don't even think about it now) and have no problems. Overall, would get them again.

Heavy, durable, and versatile

Versatility and quality
This flatware is of excellent quality. Yes, it's heavy, but this gives it a feel of great quality. You can't leave heavy flatware of any design hanging off of your plate, or it will fall. I don't find that to be a design flaw; it's just simply something you have to be aware of with this product. It has an extremely versatile design, and can be used everday or with your fine china. I understand the negative comments, but I would purchase again without hesitation - I knew I was purchasing a heavy flatware, and that is what I wanted. With regards to the knives, I had this flatware for several years and have seen no rust. I am back to purchase more, as I've lost some through "attrition" thanks to my children obviously throwing away an occasional piece.

We received this flatware for our wedding seven years ago and it is as gorgeous today as it was then. I love it because it has a simple, classic design that can still hold its own when incorporated into a formal dinner setting.

Lovely Flatware
We use this for our every day flatware. I love the clean lines. It has a heavy weight. The handles feel nice in your hand. It washes up in the dishwasher just fine and keeps its bright finish. The tines of the fork and the bowls of the spoon are comfortable to eat from. The serving pieces are a good size and serve the purpose well. We checked out the set while we were in Phoenix before buying them online. We are so glad Salt Lake will be getting a Crate&Barrel soon. I recommend this set.

Beautiful style, but heavy
We received these as a wedding gift and were so excited to use them. We like to eat in front of the TV occasionally and when placing the flatware on our plates to walk to the living room we noticed that the fork and/or knife would keep falling off the plate because they are so heavy. We love the way they feel in our hands and they are beautiful; however, when placed on a plate, they are too heavy to rest on the edge. It's not too big of a hassle for us. We'll just need to make some adjustments such as having the flatware already set up at the dinner table, TV tray, etc.

Nice shape
Very modern shape, yet thick enough to feel good in your hand. My husband was big on the "feeling" while using it, definitely not a super dainty feel. Dishwashing has been ok so far (3 months), no watermarks/tarnishing.
