This flatware is elegant and practical. It has a very nice feel in the hand and looks beautiful on the table. I highly recommend it.
The service arrived within 10 days of my purchasing it through Amazon and was extremely well packed for safe arrival. All pieces were protected in plastic sleeves, so patience was needed in the unpacking process, but congratulations to the manufacturer for taking such care when shipping their product!

Where to start...Long Delay In Shipping: -1.5 Stars
I ordered it on December 14th, and did not receive it until January 25th. The almost month and a half wait was bad enough, but to top it off, the quality of this set is well below the quality of two 8-pc settings I own.
Quality of the Set: -2.5 Stars
This was intended as a gift, but the quality is so lacking I would feel bad about giving this away. The polish/finish on multiple pieces was lacking (especially on the hostess set) and the edges feel sharper (less rounded) and therefore not as comfortable in the hand. I weighed individual pieces of my existing set in comparison to the one from Amazon and each piece was within a few grams of the set I own. I was originally thinking maybe these were a counterfeit set or seomthing, but it seems that these are just crappy pieces or castoffs that weren't good enough for retail sale (they were all packed in plastic sleeves and rubberbanded together as expected but shipped in a plain white box with a UPC sticker on one end with a little card inside that claimed they were made by Gingko).
Summary:
The price being about forty bucks less than buying the 8 place setting set and the 4 place setting set was the main attraction, and the 4-for-3 promotion just saved me even more. The long wait and the vastly inferior quality are not worth it in my book. I would give it zero stars, but if you don't mind the wait, and are not trying to match them up with an existing set, they would be acceptable just not as nice as the retail ones due to the finish issues and less rounded/contoured edges on the handles.
