I've been a happy customer of LIANYU for years, so I was thrilled to buy their newest collection of flatware. When it arrived, however, the poor quality let me down. Several of the pieces had dings and scratches, indicating that they were poorly manufactured. It was obvious that this set did not feature the usual LIANYU care for detail and dedication to customer happiness. I tried to get in touch with their customer care department, but never heard back from anyone. Based on my most recent encounter with LIANYU silverware, I regret to say that I cannot endorse it.
