Jean Dubost JD07-13152.IVO 24 Piece Everyday Flatware Set With Handles In a Tray, Ivory

I had a small set of spoons that I bought in the French Quarter years ago, and I just loved them. On my birthday this year, I decided to treat myself to a whole set. They are so beautiful, I get daily joy from using them. I was also pleasantly surprised at how sharp the steak knives are! My husband loves them.

Clearly stored in a warehouse with little care. The plastic cover was badly damaged. Many of the pieces were scuffed or scratched. Even still, the pieces felt like they were made of cheap material. For the price I expected much much better.

Best Laguiole silverware. Hands down. Durable, sturdy and beautiful.

These are charming and reasonably well-made - - - maybe perfect for a "bistro-inspired" dinner setting. But the construction is lightweight and much less robust or "substantial" than what I've come to expect from Laguiole. Still, an acceptable investment for the money and recommended with a few caveats.The sizes are awkward . . . forks and soup spoons are very long, whereas the tea spoons are seemingly sized for children. Overall, this would make a nice "picnic set", but if I had it to do over again I would not order . . . In sum, too nice to return - - but I'll be on the lookout for an alternative dinner set from another manufacturer.

Beautiful color. The knives are actually sharp which is why I bought the set. For some people the small size of the tea spoons are really coffee or desert spoons. The cost is too high.

While the set looks impressive, I had one knife with a cracked handle. The crack runs from the base to the first rivet as if it was riveted on too tight. Perhaps it occurred from shipping but it doesn’t seem that way. All I can say is I’ve got to use the broken handle knife so my guests don’t get the wrong idea about serving them with broken utensils.

Tremendously disappointing. Such a lovely color but the quality is so obviously not the same as the previous sets I purchased. They don’t feel the same and at least 1/2 of the forks and several knives are bent out of shape. The photograph is right out of the package before use. Would not buy again especially for the price.
