Such a stunning set! Each piece has been crafted beautifully and I love that my purchase supports the efforts to preserve our pollinators. They have a sturdy feel while not being heavy like some flatware I've had. They're so shiny and the design is crisp. I have never seen such unique silverware that still maintains a classy, traditional feel. All of this is on top of a fantastic, ethical company that not only produces and ships it's products from the US, but even sources the materials from the US as well- even the polishing compound is produced here! Are there cheaper products out there? Absolutely, but how often do you get the opportunity to not only own a quality product, but feel truly ethical and responsible in the purchase you've made? I am confident that if I ever need or choose to replace my flatware, it will come from Liberty Tabletop.
