I ordered this from the Gold Box for $19.99. Because of the Farberware brandname and the MSRP of $100., I was more hopeful than I should have been. In retrospect, I think it's fair to say that Farberware does cookware much better than they do flatware. This is a very basic set, without a lot of esthetic appeal. It would be a big improvement over thrift store mis-matched knives and forks; it's probably on a par with the less expensive Walmart stainless steel flatware, although these are very lightweight. These spoons and forks really bend easily.
If you are currently hording those plastic-wrapped knives, forks and spoons they have at the fast food chains and saving them to use when you get home for dinner, this is a giant step in the right direction.
Otherwise, I think spending $10. more at a Big Box store, will buy you something much nicer.
