These utensils are pretty but a bit heavy. They add style to my table setting, though I’m not sure about the knot designs’ practicality for everyday use. Shipping was okay, just slightly longer than I hoped.

I got this cutlery set to impress at dinner. The gold finish is eye-catching but the spoon was smaller than I thought. It does feel solid while using, and my guests commented on how unique it looked. Shipping took longer, so plan ahead.

Set gerçekten şık görünüyor. Altın rengi masada güzel bir hava katıyor. Çatal ve kaşık rahat kullanılıyor, ama kaşığın boyutu biraz küçük geldi bana. Birkaç gün gecikmeli teslim aldım.
