Gibson 53441.16 Sensations Stainless Steel 16-Piece Flatware Set Black

Bought these for my daughters dorm room. Love the holder that they come in, makes it easy to store in her dorm room. Not the most heavy duty silverware but perfect for the amount of use it will get at college. Good value for the price.

I’m pleased that it matches my kitchen

I like this item. The only thing I noticed because I bought a similar Target brand a few years ago, is the silverware is cheaper made. They may not last as long. The silverware is very light. Would be nicer if the base was able to spin around to get the silverware you want. The base will probably rust on the bottom if you put silverware back in it damp. That’s what happened to my Target brand base. Otherwise, very cute item to keep on your countertop to grab silverware quickly.

I bought these for my dorm to avoid using plastic utensils all year again. They're... fine? Not quite worth the price in my opinion, but not to the point where I feel like I've been scammed.PROS:- Very easy to clean! I hand wash my dishes so I can't speak for how they hold up in dishwashers, but mine have no rust and seem fine.- Sturdy enough to eat with! They're metal, so cutting through most foods is easy enough. Definitely a step up from plastic! The spoons are a bit shallow for anything like soup, but they'd work.- The pictures are very accurate. That's exactly what mine look like, and they came packaged pretty well.CONS:- Significantly worse quality than I was expecting, although they ARE metal and have not yet fallen apart (I've been pretty consistently using them for about a month).- The plastic handles are cheap. They haven't broken, but I doubt it would take much to scratch or chip it.- If you leave the utensils in your mouth for more than a second or two it has a very noticeable metal-y taste. It doesn't taste like metal just from licking it, but it does make me a little nervous to be using them all the time. (Metal in my stomach?? Probably not great for me.)- The caddy they come with is very unstable, it only has 3 legs and is easy to tip over. I even had to rearrange the utensils a few times to get it to stand on its own at all.All in all I'm a bit disappointed. I wasn't expecting luxury quality for this price, but with such positive reviews I was hoping for a little better. I think these would be good to take camping, or anywhere where weight is a concern, but I'll probably be getting another set for everyday use. Target sells great silverware for cheaper! :)

Not the most sturdy items after while of use. Had handles fall off and they bend easily. But they are really good for kids and my kids love them. Love the holder for them to makes easy access for them.

We bought this set to go on our camping trips. I didn't want to lose our good set when we went away but I got tired of buying disposables that just fill up the landfill. This seemed like a good compromise. And, I don't have to worry if we lose one because the cost wasn't too high. These will pay for themselves over time. Well worth it for our intended use!

They don’t look, feel, or sound like stainless steel. They also came slightly damaged and funny enough, stained

I'm giving this a two star rating so that hopefully the comments will be noticed. The utensils are fine, but each group is tied to the wire casing. That makes it VERY DIFFICULT to untie the plastic ties. I get the point of wanting each group to be together. However, tying the forks, knives and spoons to the wire container is TOTALLY UNNECESSARY when the utensils and wire container are super taped into a cylinder.Just tie utensils together in groups, place in the wire container and place all in the cylinder. The utensils won't be damaged. The packaging is extremely unfriendly for the physically challenged and/or elderly.
