Review on Stylish Dragonfly 18/10 Stainless Steel Flatware Set - 5 Piece Place Setting By Fortessa by Tim Thuss

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Beautiful but uncomfortable to hold

Beautiful but the feel of them in hand is sadly not good. I have fairly small hands so I didn't think I'd mind, but the handles are too narrow and bite into the fingers a bit.The salad fork is very petite and really not very functional for salads.The smaller spoon is very petite as well, although both it and the larger spoon are too deep for normal use (but nice for soup). You'll likely have a difficult time getting these spoons out of your mouth cleanly.I like the narrow head of the forks and I absolutely love how this set looks. But after using them for a few weeks, I've decided not to give into the sunk cost fallacy and I'm getting rid of them and buying a different set.If you have a chance to try these out in the store first and like them, I would recommend buying as they have held up very, very well in the dishwasher. They come out spotless and shiny and are truly very lovely. However, you will need to put them into the dishwasher face down as the handles are so narrow that they will slip right through most flatware holders.

Cons
  • The dragonfly design may be too busy and detract from the food being served
