I wanted black silverware, but most all of it is matte black - which ends up looking mostly dark gray. I ordered multiple sets of silverware, including another shiny set from various companies and hated all of it. This set is the most black I could find and doesn't feel cheap - itself almost too heavy. The dinner fork feels like you're getting a hand workout. But at least it doesn't feel like cheap tin. However, this is a ridiculous price, and it's cheaper than the MSRP price. I ordered one set and found open box new products on ebay to get service for 8....much cheaper.
