We did not have gifts at our wedding so made do with some sub par silverware till my mom gifted us this (requested) set. Great weight, balance, design, smooth hand feel with a slight curve and largeknife handles and small serrated edge to knives as well. My husband is a history buff so this set really appealed to him. I am more practical and love the high quality stainless steel. Design on front and back of pieces. Wish the stamp was smaller print. I was worried the size would be too large for me, since I am petite, but hubby wanted the larger European style, luckily it's not an issue, though I use the teaspoons more myself. Hostess set is beautiful, love the clamshell sugar spoon ( I think that's what it's for). Great choice for us.

This set is an excellent alternative to Reed & Barton's Hammered Antique which costs 4 to 5 times more!!  Really, this was a great deal!! This set by Wallace is also 18/10 stainless just like the Hammered Antique!  The quality looks pretty much equal. And after making a comprehensive, detailed comparison, we went with this Wallace Continental Hammered because we liked the larger, continental style Soup/place spoons.  And, we liked the price of $72.44 with Free Shipping from Amazon-- can't beat it!!
The larger set, service for 12 is not 18/10-- it's 18/0 and not as heavy and there were a few negative complaints about that.  So, stick with this set....service for 8.

PERFECT SET!  I am beyond pleased with this awesome set!  You will not be disappointed at all!  I could tell before I opened the box that it was well made from the weight alone (not that it is heavy) but it is not a cheap set!  Love it!

Love this set! Well built 5 piece set that's very nice and expensive looking. The linen liners remove for hand washing, and the basket weave is material of nice durable quality that won't fray or break. Better deal than I could find anywhere else. I would recommend these to anyone, and I would buy them again.

This is the most awesome and practical cocktail set! I truly feel professional when I have people or my supper club over. It really makes a statement. It is excellent quality. This set comes with the shaker, the muddler, stirring spoon, strainer, and some fun plastic mixers. This is a great value for all that you get. It really is a great set for entertaining. The only thing you really need to add to complete your set is a measure. People really are impressed when you asked for their drink selection, then you whip out this set, and shake it like you have it handled! The mixing spoon is lovely. It is long with a spiral twist, very reminiscent of what you see in mint juleps! I really love this set, it is so great to get everything you need in one package! I hand wash these, but it is silvergrade, so it should really hold up to a lot of use. Great gift idea!

Wonderful. The weight and feel of the pieces makes them great for actually playing chess, and they look like the pictures of the sets in the National Museum Scotland and the British Museum. Excellent facsimile. You will love them for playing chess if you don't mind departing from a Staunton design. Otherwise, you will love them for their aesthetic appeal.

I read the negative reviews on this product and had to comment. I bought this set originally from Boston Store in Green Bay Wisconsin when it was going out of business. That was about 15 years or so ago. I paid $125 for a 12 place setting on clearance. I've had this set since and replenished the pieces that "walked away" once and am going to replenish them again.

It is accurate that for example the forks/spoons are not "thick" and the pattern is on 1 side. But that makes it light and easy to handle for children and woman. My husband prefers to eat with the dinner fork cause it's bigger. My 4 children and I prefer the salad fork. They have been INCREDIBLY durable over the hears - and we are NOT easy on our silverware!  A thicker bigger set would not be ideal for a family setting in my opinion. I have had absolutely NO issues with tarnishing, rusting, etc. They are still shiny and look good. I'm shocked that they are a fraction of the price I originally paid...BONUS for me!!!  The pattern is also simple and timeless. Although I wouldn't mind a new pattern just for something different...but I absolutely cannot justify buying another set and dealing with defects, rusting, different sizing, etc...this set works perfectly and I highlighly suggest it - starting or or not.

The set cannot be matched for durability, value, or selection. I am a student off classics, and the translations of the Greek and Latin texts are accurate and readable.  I have carried these books in suitcases, and read them hard, and have not had any problems with the bindings. The covers are durable.
The best feature of the set is the selection of texts, many I would have not picked up without it.  Thomas Aquinas and Goethe's Faust were great surprises.
The essays in the introductory volumes are extremely valuable in bringing together and contrasting the various ideas of the authors.
Beyond Euclid, The Almagest of Ptolemy, the sections on conic sections  by Archimedes, and Newton were highly developed and rigorous, but how could they be left out of a set of Great Books.
One must ask, for example, do you "understand" Shakespeare?.  Have you read him, and are you ready for the next?  These books are not something you read and go beyond, but the work of a lifetime.
Nevertheless, they never fail to be fresh and relevant.

This Introduction to Architecture Set (2? makes me wonder what 1 is) is a nice kid size professionally put together adventure into architecture. Well done color plates with notable examples of architecture through the millennia, with excellent explanations/descriptions are also accompanied by lots of graph paper, a  great variety of stencils, color pencils and all you need to add is a kid-- or an adventurous grownup. This is FUN!! And in no way does it talk down to anyone -- everything is professional, educational and well-explained to the user. Give this to a 7 yr old and I really think it will grow with her or him - because of the endless variety of designs possible and the extra added bonus of historical examples to inspire. The box is sturdy and portable - everything fits into it neatly.

This is a beautiful large mortar set that arrived in 10 days from England in mint condition! They wrapped this up in bubble wrap inside one box that was then wrapped in bubble wrap inside another box, and shipped very fast, arriving 30 days earlier than the expected arrival date! This mortar set has a good feel to it, not as heavy as the stone kind, but heavy enough. It is extremely well made and is a work of art, in my opinion, that one would feel comfortable leaving out on the counter. The color is more of a wine red than the brick red color seen here, so it doesn't quite match the items in my kitchen as I was hoping it would, but it is still so pretty I think it will be fine. I am including a picture in my review with it next to ordinary silverware and my red collection of kitchenware, so you can have a reference to the size and look. This makes an excellent gift!

This set is well worth the money. First off, the included handle is very grippy and sturdy. It's lightweight, but doesn't feel cheaply made at all. Second, the individual blades are beautiful. Dimensionally accurate, well hardened yet durable, and when snapped into the handle they hold position nice and snug. Only one of the blades (#5 flat head) has any slop when in place, and it's VERY minor. They are all laser engraved with p/n's, branding, and size info which adds to the premium feel of the set. Third, the included tool roll is higher quality than any I've ever seen. It is perfect, and has too many nice touches to list; a couple I would have never even thought of. This is huge in my opinion, it shows they took the time to perfect every aspect of the set. I am so sick of cheap vinyl tool rolls, it was so refreshing to open the box and see this! The only word of caution I will give is that this isn't the type of driver you would use as a pry bar, but that's not what is intended for, it's too pretty! I knew PB made the best hex keys, now I know they make the best driver sets. Kudos, you brilliant Swiss bastards!
