Loved the design. They are very visually appealing. Weight wise they are heavier than I'm used to, but not an issue. I think they can be used for everyday use or special occasions. The one drawback for me was the taste of metal when heal was applied. I'm a tea drinker and will taste the hot tea once stirred, and I automatically tasted the spoon. When I did, there was a metallic taste that I was not pleased with. It was one of the larger spoons, and although I haven't used every single piece in the set, I did, however, experience this with the one item. Otherwise, it's an awesome Rose Gold set of flatware. As I usually say at the end of the day, the choice is yours.
