[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the design, the feel and quality. I love it’s a 12 PC set. Looking forward to many years of using it.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Nicest silverware we own and use daily. No rusting issues in dishwasher and they shine brilliantly!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Astley 65 piece flatware set is a solid choice. The flatware is a bit narrow through the handle but has a solid substantial feel to it. The forks are longer than most but are a bit narrower so they don’t feel too large. The knives are strong but narrow and cut well.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a beautiful classic style set of utensils that has a lovely polished finish. It’s great for every day use or even for fancy entertaining.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Just opened the box and washed them and so far I’m very happy. They have a sturdy feel and beautiful finish.
I purchased this set of flatware in December 2020. I specifically checked to be certain it would be "Dishwasher Safe" given the daily use flatware must endure. It can be put in the dishwasher but to maintain spotless flatware requires that no food is left on it for any length of time, do not allow it to be left with water sitting on it and do not leave it in the dishwasher more than 10 - 20 minutes after the cycle ends. Towel it dry. Darkened areas can result where water touches it. These marks can be easily removed (just rub with olive oil).
Basically, hand wash and dry the flatware after using if you want to keep it looking really nice. This is not my idea of low maintenance with utensils used constantly. I was excited to replace my 20 year old flatware but little did I know that modern equipment would be so labor intensive. Signed, Very Disappointed
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Beautiful set, just the right weight. Not too heavy and not feather light. The finish stays shiny wash after wash.
