I am returning my purchase for refund. Product quality was not what I expected. Flatware felt flimsy and looked like it would bend easily.

This is very good set everyday flatware. It's stylish and easy to clean...keeps that "new look" a long time! Though it is not as heavy or substantial as the more expensive DuBost Laguoile, for the money..... it's great!

This flatware is beautiful and dishwasher safe BUT the knives are flimsy and the smaller spoons are so tiny that they are fairly useless. I also don't like the sharp points on the knives. I'm not sure I would have ordered these had I known...

Laguiole flatware by Jean Dubost is produced in various weights 15/10, 18/10 & 25/10. The set offered by Wine Enthusiast, is probably the lowest in weight. I own 4 (5pc) settings of the Laguiole Jean Dubost flatware in ivory purchased from another pricier vendor, hoping to add more to my collection with this bargain found. I was severely disappointed upon receiving my shipment. The weight and craftmanship difference between sets are SO evident. I would never be able to combine the two on an evening I am entertaining. I'm returning....here I thought I could give myself a pat on the back for a bargain found.

Love the lines of Laguiole

Pros

  • Doesn't Stain
  • Attractive Design
  • Dishwasher Safe
  • High Quality

Cons

Best Uses

  • Daily Use

I am a huge fan of the south of France and always enjoyed using Laguiole cutlery there. Purchasing the individual place settings provides the added benefit of getting the salad fork. Not all boxed sets have this item and I have never seen it open stock. Laguiole makes different weight products. This is not the heaviest weight so, if that is what you are looking for, you should be purchasing this product elsewhere. You will see a significant difference in cost between the medium weight and the heavy weight which I thought unnecessary for daily use. I examined each piece and there were no rough edges or other flaws. Unlike some Laguiole, this set is dishwasher safe. The knife is really distinctive. The teaspoon size might startle many Americans since it is smaller than what we are used to. The soupspoon can easily be substituted if your meal requires a spoon for something other than stirring your tea or coffee. I match this with a lovely set of Villeroy & Boch French Garden plates. Many compliments.

Not what we expected

 
2.0

Pros

  • Attractive Design

Cons

  • Not quality expected

Best Uses

We have several cheese knives from Lagiuole, and were excited to find the flatware with a design that we loved. Unfortunately upon arrival we discovered what poor quality they are for the price. Stainless is thin and handles are not solid, seems very cheaply made compared to other Lagiuole we own. If I had read the previous reviews prior to ordering I would not have ordered as they all say the same thing. Very disappointed and will be returning....

We had this flatware that came from [...]. We bought additional settings here because of the better price but when they arrived we found them to be inferior quality. They were much lighter weight and the stainless was thinner than the set we had. It was not at all what we expected and we sent it back. It looks like a cheaper imitation.

Quality is not what I expected

 
2.0

Pros

  • Durable
  • Easy To Clean
  • Easy to Use

Cons

  • Cheap materials
  • Not Heavy Enough

Best Uses

They don't have any substance or weight and feel cheap & plastic. I have the really good Laguiole silverware (that cost me thousands) that are handmade rosewood and they are amazing - I wanted a set of regular flatware for day to day use at a lower price with this brand's style & reputation. I was disappointed - would not buy these again.
