Solid weight to utensils, nice finish/appearence

"Very lovely design, simple and clean lines. They also have a lot more weight to them then one would expect. But that's a plus for me, not a con. Would definitely recommend these to a friend."

Beautiful shape, substantial feel

"I recently purchased this flatware in order to replace an older more classical style. I went to the store to choose the new set and was pleasantly surprised to hold these in my hands and feel how substantial they are. The style is modern and elegant and got rave reviews from my 20-something children.
C and B does not disappoint with a great product for a reasonable price.

Best silverware set

"We registered for this set 13 years ago and am still in love with it. My husband's favorite part is that he can scoop ice cream right out of the carton and the spoons don't bend! It has also held up to years of washing and abuse. I have only had to replace spoons because they've accidentally been thrown away. Darn those kids! Thankfully, I was able to get more with open stock :)"

Great flatware

"I love this flatware! I bought a set in 2008 and they are still in great condition (2013). I actually have another set just in case, but I can't imagine ever finding a reason to replace them."

Favorite flatware ever

"I've had my set for over 7 years, and I still love it. I can only repeat what everyone else has said--it's elegant, weighty, feels great in your hand, and looks more expensive than it is.
However, I can also say that in contrast to what a few others have reported, my set has never tarnished or stained or looked anything less than perfect. I've never polished it, yet due to the brushed finish, it's hard to tell it's not new. I have never washed in a dishwasher, so that may be a factor."

Dune Flatware

"I love the Dune pattern. The set is nice and heavy - easy to hold. The forks don't hurt your hand when you are trying to cut something. I recently lost a fork so just ordered a replacement and a spare. Got a couple of spoons while I was at it as I'm sure to lose one or need an extra someday. I've had the set for many years and appreciate that it is open stock. Thanks C & B."

The knives are different

"Overall this is a handsome, heavy set with a beautiful simple design. But the knives have a slight difference in design, not very noticeable, and are not marked 18/10 as the other pieces are. Disappointing. Also this set is not an exact match for the set I purchased several years ago. It's not a big deal for me, but may be for some people."

Knives are wrong material

"The knives in this set are susceptible to corroding or staining. The knives aren't made from the 18/10 stainless steel (300 series alloy) as advertised, they are made from a 400 series alloy stainless steel that doesn't have the nickel in it. Besides the lack of nickel, 400 series stainless steels typically also have lower chromium so will often have lower corrosion resistance.
The easiest way to tell if the knives and the spoons/forks are the same material is to put a magnet to them. If the knives are magnetic and the forks/spoons are not (as our set was), then they aren't the same material.
If they aren't the same material, be wary that your knives (and other magnetic grades of stainless steel) may corrode or stain in the dishwasher."

Love My Flatware

"I have had the Dune Flatware for maybe ten years. We chose it to replace another lighter weight set and loved the weight and feel of the pieces. It looks great to this day, but it does get water stains on it even though I decided recently to hand wash it to try to keep it from staining and spotting. Guests who use it often comment on the nice feel and weight. I am also glad I can add to my two sets. Recently lost a fork that I was able to replace.But I wish it still had the Serving Fork, Wedge/Pie Server and Slotted Serving Spoon that once were available . Now am purchasing a set for a daughter who loves it, too."

So far so good

"Great flatware! I was reluctant to purchase these after reading other reviews of staining but so far they are in great shape. I put them in the dishwasher and they come out spotless."

Nice design, attractive & functional

"These were bought to complement older pieces by a different maker, and did that nicely. They're very nicely balanced, with a nice heft, and the shape is pleasing while offering the hand something to grasp. That said, they are just a little bit "clunky" -- thick throughout where they could be pared back a bit for a finer design."

22-piece Dune Flatware

"We bought this flatware set for everyday after our original flatware began to disappear after 13 years of marriage. We like the weight and shape of this set. It has gone through the dishwasher well - although I can tell that we will need to polish it occasionally to maintain the brushed look. I would prefer NOT to have to polish it, but...this is a good everyday set for our large family with MANY young kids."

Love this flatware!

"I was a little nervous to buy flatware online because I wanted something right the right weight and feel. I couldn't be happier about this purchase! It is heavy and smooth and feels perfect to hold. It is also a little different than most flatware, which is something else I like about it. Can't go wrong with this flatware!"

Love this flatware!

"Just purchased 2 sets and am running back to store for more. Love the contemporary shape with matte finish and solid, ergonomic feel. My husband likes that they feel heavy in his hand."
