Gourmet Settings Non Stop 20-piece Flatware Set Review

My wife and I bought a 4-setting set of this flatware and were running low so decided to purchase a second identical set a few weeks later.

After a few weeks, we started to notice black spots and lines on some of the spoons and forks.  Weeks later, entire heads of spoons had turned black.  We couldn't find any way to get rid of this tarnish so ended up throwing away about 5-6 spoons and 3-4 forks (knives seemed to be unaffected).  While a year later none of the other flatware pieces have turned, this was a disappointing aspect of this product.  My guess is that there were some quality control issues with the manufacture, though we never contacted them to report it.

Other than the tarnishing, this flatware set is good looking and sturdy enough for daily use and abuse.
