A Contemporary and very stylish looking high quality flatware
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...
The most outstanding WMF design in years
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.
More Appropriate for a Family with Small Children
I bought this silverware on a whim for $180 because I liked the design and shine. Although I like it, I wouldn't pay anymore than that for it.
The shine is only slightly brighter than my regular silverware and the design might be a bit too modern for the tastes of some of my family members.
The surprise, however, was the size of the smaller knives, forks, and spoons. I have three toddler grandchildren for whom the small size will be perfect. You can see the size difference in the photo I uploaded.
Addendum 4/2012
Surprisingly, my 10 year old grandson also loves the smaller sized utensils. I wish they sold that size separately.
