WMF Taika Flatware, 5 Pc. Setting  Product Reviews

"This is a very unique, very sculptured piece of art along with being a beautiful place setting. I gave this to my brother as a gift several years ago and he gets compliments on it EVERY time he has a dinner party. I recently purchased more for him to replace some lost pieces. They have been very durable, no scratches after 7 years!"

"I got this set to compliment another modern looking flatware set "iittala Artik Flatware" which I thought is the best looking flatware out there for it's build quality and style. When we got this set from amazon I was surprised as it almost looked similar to iittala Artik set. WMF Taika set had more contemporary style and it looked as if the Artik set has been elongated on top and bottom to make it long. Very long! The handles on this set are long, very long unlike anything we expect from flatware. They are almost as long as the chop-sticks we get in chinese restaurants. The long handles make it look very elegant. Inspite of the long handles, the weight of the flatware is comfortable to hold for long time. The stainless steel looks very vibrant and attractive like the one we see in Pro-style kitchen appliances. If you prefer your flatware to be somewhere between very contemporary to some what traditional in style, iittala's Artik set is a better choice. iittala set also seems to have a little better build quality than WMF (this doesn't mean WMF is any less quality). The dessert spoon (the smallest spoon) is my favorite! This set should please anyone who is looking for a very stylish, modern looking flatware with VERY high quality stainless steel. It will get lots of WOWs from your guests."

"If you like the "form follows function" idea of modern design, this is the silverware for you. Wonderfully clean lines, no unnecessary details. Just outright gorgeous in it's simplicity. Goes without saying that the quality of the manufacturing is true WMF - perfect."
