HOMELUX THEORYHomelux Theory 18/10 Stainless Steel Silverware Set, 4 Cutlery Set of 5pc Heavy Duty Spoons & Forks Set, Stainless Steel Kitchen Utensils, Adaline Royal Modern Utensils & Contemporary Flatware Set

This Homelux set of silverware are even more beautiful in person! They feel nice and sturdy, and function beautifully. I highly recommend this beautiful stainless steel -silver color- set of silverware. I love them so much that I just bought another two sets! You will love them !!!!!

The obvious elephants in the room: the handles, the knife, and the spoons.All three elements I just named are what really sets these apart from other flatware. I will go over each of them.The handles: VERY elegant looking, but are they comfortable? Yes, but not exceptionally. I don't have any trouble holding these, but I do wish the handles were thicker, and maybe with a slight bend. Also, they transfer heat rather easily...putting a spoon in a large glass (I have 16 ounce mugs) of hot tea makes the handle heat up. Give it about five minutes, and it's hot! Hot enough to be uncomfortable, though not actually dangerous. The design doesn't allow the heat to dissipate as fast as a flatter handle would. I wouldn't make the handles flatter if I was redesigning these, though...the handles just look too cool. I wish they were a bit thicker, but that would also make the utensils heavier, so they aren't bad even if they aren't super-comfortable. The handles are as stylish as you could ask for, and the grip is "decent but not great."The knives: like the handles, very elegant looking, very cool design. But how do they work? Excellent, in fact. I really like the blade design...I've used them for spreading butter and for cutting a steak. They work well for both. The aforementioned "decent but not great" grip on the handles does keep them from being the best knives possible, but the blade design works really well...well enough that these can in fact be used as steak knives. I really like the knife blades.The spoons: extremely modern in appearance, circular rather than oval or oblong, and fairly deep. Once again, they look cool, but how functional are they? Well, I've used them for soups, sauces, shoveling beans...and I think it's an excellent design. It actually makes me wonder about why we don't see more circular spoons. I suppose oblong designs increase the amount of food a spoon can hold without requiring your mouth to be wider? Well, these spoons really accomplish that with their depth. I find them quite comfortable, and since you aren't trying to cut anything, the handle's "not great" status is not at all a problem with the spoons.Other stuff: the metal and coating are very high quality. I eat gallons (not an exaggeration) of extremely hot hot sauce...one of the reasons I replaced my other silverware is because the hot sauce I make is so hot that it was corroding my silverware. The set of these that I purchased was the gold plated version...gold is one of the least reactive elements, and I figured that as long as the plating wasn't thin or poorly applied, the gold would protect the metal from the acid in my hot sauce. I was correct...I have seen no damage whatsoever to these utensils after using them for this purpose many times (I've been using the same set over and over again to be sure). Also, I despise washing dishes, so I've been putting them in my dishwasher. Again, no sign of damage.recap/parting thoughts:- These are by far the highest quality flatware sets that I've ever owned. I started with a single box...to make sure I liked them, and after using them for a few days, I ordered six more boxes (14 sets).- They are elegant to the point that everyone that sees them has to comment on their appearance (positively).- They do not react to even the spiciest sauce and hold up well in the dishwasher (Note: 10/18 steel and high-quality, heavy gold plating)- The only downsides are with regards to the handles: the grip is decent, but not great, and they heat up to the point of being uncomfortable if you put them in 16 ounces of very hot liquid (like tea or coffee; won't be a problem with soup unless you serve crazy-hot soup, probably not a problem if you are using 8 ounce mugs).- I would highly recommend this production on the basis of their quality and the elegant design.

Beautiful silverware. Very contemporary. Love the long handles.

Absolutely beautiful, solid, well made, perfectly weighted. Highly recommended.

I am not gonna say they are flawless... right out the box and already see little imperfections here amd there. However, for the price and other people's reviews, I think it's worth the investment and try. Other than that, they feel great to the touch as far as quality and they are just so beautiful. Ordered 2 boxes, hopefully the flaws are minimal on both.

My two sets in the shiny gold have arrived! It’s only been two days but I’ve been wanting to contribute to the reviews. I am pleasantly impressed and so happy with this purchase! Everything from the price, the packaging (so thoughtful), the quality (looks and feels lux), the weight (nice and sturdy in your hand) - this cutlery set is just perfect and beautiful for what I’ve been wanting. Really makes me smile every time I use them!Have been reading lots of reviews for similar sets at a slightly lower pp, this one stood out from all the positivity…pay a little extra for quality. Thank you so much!

Not even joking these are ABSOLUTELY stunning, they hold up well I was kind of nervous at first just because I’ve never had Gold silverware & these are absolutely great. Ordering another set. Also, they don’t feel cheaply made 🫶🏾

I was so excited to receive this set. It is good quality and of beautiful design. But here are the problems we discover with it: 1. The handles are too thin and round for large hands. My husband will not use them because they slip out of his grip, 2. The cylindrical design of the handle prevents hands from gripping the handle well. It twists and slides sometimes. 3. The round spoons don’t scoop well and hurt our lips. The spoon seems too large.I don’t think we could have foreseen these problems, and they may not affect everyone. I will say that they have held out well, retained their luster, and have great weight too them. But I’m afraid we’ll need to go back to normally (or it seems ergonomically) designed flatware. :(
