Do the dinner forks have sturdy tines, or do they bend easily. I have an Oneida stainless set (a gift) whose forks have thin tines.

These are very sturdy tines. Love this set and am ordering one for my daughter.

The forks and spoons nestle nicely upon one another. The knives are a bit rounded on the back so they don't quite stack as nicely. How ever the set is beautiful and sturdy.

The edges are smooth. Don't even hesitate when purchasing these forks. You won't be disappointed. I purchased them for the wedding but I am continuing to use them even after. Good quality for the money.

Purchased as a gift a year ago. The utensils are used daily, and washed in the top rack of the dishwasher. So far, they look the same as when they were received (no cracking or fading). Also, each utensil is very sturdy....don't bend while in use.

There are 2 forks - one dinner and one salad. They are adequate for my husbands big hands. Sorry they are up at my beach place. Won't be back there until May.

The pair I got has the plastic forks. I haven't had a problem with them, though. I have a cousin who has the metal ones, and I don't really notice a difference in ease of use. I guess maybe longevity could be a concern?

Mine have been as good as advertised. No bending or breaking or any other issues with them. I just measure with them and wash them so I don't know how the handles would bend otherwise.

No, they do not bend. Very sturdy. Feel as if they have moved into 21st century with kitchen utensils. Finally something new, practical and well designed.

I found them to be sturdier then I expected for the price. Like any utensil they can be bent but with effort only. They perform very well for the task they are ment for.

They appear to me to be forged. There are no 90 degree angles anywhere except at the ends of the slots for the tines. They are the best forks that I have found and I ordered a second set to enable us to use them for a larger event at home. I have 4 spoons in the same set and they are soup spoon size as opposed to teaspoon size. I have not tried the knives as yet. Perhaps the next time I have a substantial credit.

No, it does not bend easily, it's a heavier weight stainless steel than many others I've seen. It's very well-made and we are completely happy with it. We are following instructions and not leaving any flatware in standing water, and separating knives alone in compartment in dishwasher so no scratches happen. Really love this set!!

It is silicone & sturdy.A knife might puncture it if you tried hard, but I wouldn't think a fork would.I love these bowls. They are very sturdy.I've had mine for quite some time & they are still like new.I use them when we travel and at times it will be a month or more of straight use.

Dishes are delicate and they are microwave safe but still one dinner plate cracked in first few warm ups (but amazon has great replacement policy).i have not noticed any scratching from fork/knife but i will recommend dealing these plates with care....Only reason why i have them is they are really b'ful, prettier than picture and have an artsy feel for special dinners.

I have not had any problems with the plates and bowls chipping or breaking, however I have yet to knock them hard against the faucet or drop them on the floor. They go though a daily routine of moving in and out of the cupboard against other corelle dishes and I do not notice any harm. I am sure I will eventually knock them about, but for now, the plates are as strong as they are lovely, only time will tell. If they are as resilient as my older corelle sets, I will have no worries. Remember that the mugs are not corelle and will break. I hope this helps you.

They were sturdy--we weren't using them to cut steak but they held up as well as any of the heavy plastic utensils do and they looked nice. We were having a cocktail/appetizer type fundraiser that we wanted to be as upscale as we could and still use disposable table ware. They still feel like plastic when you hold them (versus real silver) but the table set up looked good. Hope this helps.

They have a durable heft that is not cumbersome even to one with Arthritis like myself. I gave my daughter a set that I had before that was way too heavy for me to use and wash. She loves those and I LOVE these. This is the most beautiful set of cookware I have had the pleasure of using.

They are very sturdy. I have hung my 12 inch cast iron skillet from one of them and it did not bend at all.
