I really enjoy the silverware, especially for the price. I have used them for a month now and I don't see any signs of use yet. The only thing is that they are thinner than most silverware that I've had in the past.

The flatware works fine for me, I read all of the complaints after purchase and prayed it wasn't as bad as everyone had said, It wasn't.

Rating: 3 out of 5

I didnt expect much from this set, but it looks okay compare to other set I bought (same price), the look is cheap but not design is okay,it's definately not 100$, but for 9$, it's worth using, even for 1 time- as people said, it's good for outdoor usage, but not for other purposes

The set cost me $9. I though I was getting a good deal until I received the package. The spoons are very light and flat. Not to be used for guests.

I don't know what people have been saying...these are not flimsy or as thin as others have made them sound. When they arrived i was a bit surprised as to how nice they are...for the price. They are way good enough to use...very nice actually. NO they are not sterling silver or that heavy expensive stuff. These are pretty light, and you won't be working out using them, physically or financially.

If you just need something to use around the house...these are more than perfect. love em..

Bought this to use as a gift - but might change my mind and keep it - excellent product for a very low price. Wish it had serving pieces included - or Amazon provided an option to purchase a complementary set of serving pieces.

We were in a crunch for flatware so ordered this during a "gold Box" sale. They were fine, but very flimsy. We have since replaced them with a sturdier set, but they served the purpose while we were looking for what we really wanted.

The silver wear is OK, not the best. It's better than going to the Dollar Store. For anyone looking for a better set, look on. I also was short 8 pieces serving dessert wear. Amazon took great care in taking care of this matter. I only shop with them, because of the fantastic service. Thanks Amazon!!!!!
Suitable set for camping - Review written on June 13, 2007

I thought since this was a "supposedly $100.00 set", that I could replace the flatware that I use everyday in my home with this 8 place setting. I was wrong. It is about as sturdy as higher end plastic ware. One star is for the fact that I can use them when I go camping and replace the plastic ware that I normally use. And the second star is for the price I paid, which was only $18.00. It's true, you get what you pay for.

It was advertised as a markdown from $99 to $20 and thought it would be a great savings. Turned out to be very cheap and light weight. In fairness, Amazon has sent a return mailing label and I need to send it back and will do so. I usually buy movies, books and music. This purchase was the only one I've been dissatisfied with.
ok but cheesy silverware - Review written on June 13, 2007

I bought two sets at 19.99 each on gold box purchase, so did I expect really great quality? Well I did, because they listed it at 100.00 regular price. It is acceptable for everyday use but it really is thin and kind of uncomfortable to hold. But if you are looking for an average set at a really good price this will do it for you.

Excellent value but forks are a bit small for big hands.

The pieces to this set are very thin. They don't feel good to hold, and the spoons bend easily. We are disappointed with them.

I liked the simple design of the flatware, but found out that it is easily bent. I would not purchase it again.
Very Basic Flatware - Review written on May 22, 2007

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.
