WMF Jette 20-Piece Flatware Placesetting, Service for Four Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is supposed to a special collection for WMF's 150th Anniversary. According to their website, they had enlisted "one of the most successful German designers: JETTE JOOP. The cutlery model JETTE is in something special in every respect."

I ordered this as I liked the design of the handle. Since it was a special collection, I expected it to be made in Germany.

When I received the set, I saw that the knife had "China" stamped under the WMF logo.
[...]

The other four pieces had "China" stamped after the "18/10" on the back of the handle.
[...]

Nowhere in the product description does it say that this set was made in China. The photograph of the product shown also does not have "China" stamped on it. This is clearly a case of false representation. Why should a customer pay extra for a "special anniversary set", when it is made in China, with "China" stamped all over it?This set should only be sold in China!

Dansk Rondure 5-Piece Place Setting, Service for 1 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I had high hopes for this tableware when I ordered it (not from Amazon btw) based on this review and other reviews of Dansk and the quality. Well boy was I let down when I received the 10 sets - the spoons were mostly not round and had a combination of flat spots along the edges which made them irregular, varying thickness of the edges, various peices had rough spots/edges that were not polished, pitting/cuts in surfaces, scratches, and the just about all the spoons 'drooped down along the bottom adding to the overall distorted looking circles.

My husband and I really like the design and I wanted to find a way to keep it. I tried contacting Dansk several times about a solution, suggested replacing the worst of the pieces individually since the boxes of individual place settings seemed doomed to have problems, but in spite of the message "a customer service representative will respond in 24 hours" I never got a response.Seems that they do not care that their quality is failing miserably nor do they care about customer service at all.

Sorry to say that it looks like I will be forced to return the Dansk :( , buy at your own risk.

Bodum Pavina Double-Wall Thermo Glasses, Set of 2 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased these after seeing them on the Bodum.com website. I admit the cool factor lured me in.

The cups maintain the temperature of a cappuccino for as long as it takes me to get to the bottom of the cup.Additionally it is nice not to need coasters (especially if you have men or children in the home).

The 9 oz cup is less than 4 inches tall, making it fit perfectly under the fill spout of my super-automatic Saeco espresso machine (which I also love).

My husband and I have had 4 of these cups for more than 6 months and not one of them has broken.I mention this because the 9 oz cups seem to be much more sturdy than the 21 oz Pavina ice tea glasses. We broke one of the 21 oz cups with the first ice cube that went into the cup.We broke 2 others in the first two weeks.

Bottom line, I cannot recommend the 21 oz Pavina.However, the 9 oz Pavina cups are very tough, having survived 6 months of daily use with less than dainty owners.I think you will be very pleased with your purchase of the 9 oz Pavina cups.

UPDATE:JULY 18, 2006
All 4 of the 9 ounce Pavina mugs are still intact even with frequent use.I continue to recommend this product.

Marquis by Waterford Vintage Brandy, Set of 2 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Obviously, the previous reviewer has never taken a magnificent armagnac or cognac, rolled it in her hands in the right snifter, and warmed it gently until the heat of her hands and the swirling liquidreleased a perfume that is intoxicating even before you finally take a sip. Every classical glass design has a purpose- that of enhancing the taste of the liquid consumed in said glass. The brandy snifter is probably the most perfect glass design. If you want to enjoy fine cognac,such as Grand Mariner's new vanilla cognac, Navan, use this glass. It actually does make the drink taste better!

WMF Manaos 5-Piece Stainless Steel Flatware Place Setting, Service for 1 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)When I received this flatware, I was a little put off by the "made in Korea" stamp after WMF CROMAGNON, a famous trademark from this German company.But after using it for nearly a year now, I am impressed with the durability of the very highly polished surface and the strength of these slender and graceful implements.
This is a classic pattern, but the way it looks on the table is better than in photos because of the way they sit on a flat surface; very graceful.The pieces are a little lighter than my old Oneida, but the Oneida will bend if put to the test and these do not.Constant washing in the dishwasher hasn't dulled the gleaming finish and there are only one or two scratches (when steak knives were thrust blade down into the flatware holder in the dishwasher).
While they are made in Korea, they seem to follow WMF's tradition of quality and great design.
