Customer Review: An Objective Review
Summary: 5 Stars
Value has different meaning for different people. It appears that many reviewers had premium expectations from this set, while paying only a basic price. Then they were disappointed that they did not get the deal-of-the-century.
The set is targeted for people with modest budgets. The kind of people who either buy from, or check out, the dollar-store type businesses. Those stores usually carry 20-piece sets, Service for 4. This set is much better than the ones that sell for $9.99, and not as good as the ones that sell for $19.99. Fits somewhere in the middle, around $14.99. Those prices are for 20-piece sets. This is a 40+8 piece set, making it a far better value. I paid $9, which, of course, is even better than $15. So buy this knowing what you are paying for.
In my experience,this set would/should easily sell for $30, except for one caveat, which no one has mentioned. While amazon correctly describes it as a 40-piece set, with bonus 8 teaspoons, the box itself indicates 8 SOUP spoons. Either a manufacturing error, or a printing error. Because of this, the set can't be marketed in a regular store. Or at least can't be marketed at a regular price.
Lastly, the weight and strength are reasonably good for this price range. The finish is not ultra-shiny (mirror- or satin-finish), as some sets are. This is because it is 18/0 and not 18/10 or 18/8. It is by no means dull either. More like a brushed-finish. Closer in look to new, shiny iron, as opposed to chrome that some seem to expect.
