Hampton Signature – Stephanie Satin – 20 Piece Flatware Set, Service for 4

Love the shape and weight of this set. No issues so far.

I appreciate the heft of this tableware. I like the shape of the spoons, and the tines of the fork are sharper than expected.

I searched high and low for this exact style of silverware and I was so pleased with these! They were better than I had hoped for! You will NOT regret buying these! I'm even going to buy an extra set just so that I have one on hand because my kids tend to accidentally throw silverware away sometimes. Actually, maybe I'll get two for when company comes over.

I love this silverware!! Will be purchasing an additional set today!!

I first received a set of the Stephanie Satin utensils ten years ago as a graduation gift. I loved them as they were exactly my style and were of great quality and feel. Unfortunately I lost a few pieces to various roommates and moves over the years, so when my husband and I kept running out of spoons I bought a second set. THEY ARE NOT THE SAME QUALITY. While the style and satin finish look the same, the newly forged utensils are lighter in weight and have sharp edges where they were not properly ground down after coming out of the mold. Other reviewers have had problems with rust spots appearing as well; so far I can see one or two minor brown spots but luckily not too many on my set, though we do mainly handwash our dishes. I'm sad that the company has cut costs by lowering their standards.

These don;t seem to be a real set that match the set I already have. Visually to the eye they look almost identical but they are a different weight and feel different in your hands. A few of them actually don't feel totally smooth around the edges - like they were made differently and are of lesser quality. You can feel the ridges - I wouldn't say they are sharp, but the edges are rough whereas my original set are completely smooth. I try to put them in the bottom of my drawer and only use them we we have lots of company or the dishwasher is full of dirties. I only bought them to have a few extras that matched my "real" set, so I can get away with these since they are not used as often as the ones on top. If I used these ones every day I would be annoyed.

I had seen and used the soup spoons from this flatware set and liked the look and feel of this pattern. Even after much study and reading the cautionary reviews about rusting possibilities if washed in a dishwasher, I decided to order it. And, after it arrived and I read the "fine print" where the MANUFACTURER advised handwashing this flatware, I kept it because I like it and have committed to handwashing it. I don't think about it; I just do it because I wanted this flatware. It is too bad, though, that it hasn't been manufactured with the right combination of metals to allow satisfactory washing in the dishwasher.

I love the way the spoons are shaped!

Great product. Great Quality.
