These are well made and elegant lookingDoesn’t look cheap, works well, sturdy and the knife can actually cut food!Nobody using this plastic cutlery will think it is metal as each piece is much too light. But it looks very good and is reasonably sturdy. Perfect for family picnics or gatherings. There is no pretense here- these feel cheap despite looking quite good. They are a solid value, however, and if there was a rating for looks, these would get 5. Until the use sits down and picks it up, they will think it is high quality metal cutlery.I doubt anyone would know these aren't real just by looking at them. You can't tell they're plastic until you hold them... and even then they are surprisingly strong. There are 300 pieces altogether, so I think most families could use these for every holiday for a year or more, making cleanup SO much easier. They would also be great for wedding parties or bridal showers... pretty much any occasion where you would want something nicer than plain plastic cutlery. These are well worth the retail cost and I am extremely pleased.These Perfect Settings Silver Metallic Plastic Silverware are deceiving in every way. I mean that in a mostly good way. They are look just like your normal, somewhat elegant flatware. I mean just look at how good that chocolate cake looks on the fork. You would think I am at a nice, well respected cafe. But that is where the deceit comes in. I am sitting in my house. The cake is real though and very delicious. These Perfect Settings Silver Metallic Plastic Silverware come in a pretty large box which is packed tight with 300 pieces of this deceiving flatware. The knives actually do a pretty good job of, well........cutting. It actually went through some steak pretty nicely. The only 'bad' thing about these is that you may forget they are plastic and start expecting some unrealistic things of them. I tried breaking up the iceberg in my icetray and was quickly reminded that, despite all appearances, these are indeed plastic. You can't go wrong with this Perfect Settings Silver Metallic Plastic Silverware (unless you need to break up an iceberg).Even though I received this product through the Vine program I always review items as though I paid for them. If you look at my other reviews, you will see that I don't rate everything high. My primary goal is to provide my true thoughts about the products and how I use them so that others can make a more informed decision about their purchases.If you found this review useful, please click the 'Helpful' button.At a glance this cutlery looks like the real thing but they feel and function just like standard plastic cutlery.In a pinch when you need something Pretty but disposable these are the thing for you.I hope this review is helpful.The utensil set is almost good enough to pass as real silverware (lol).
