Kensington

I ordered the 65-piece Kensington flatware set from Liberty Tabletop and overall I really like the design and finish of most of the pieces. The forks, spoons, and overall aesthetic feel solid and well made.

My only real complaint is the dinner knives. They have hollow handles, which makes them feel noticeably lighter and cheaper compared to the rest of the set. It’s a bit surprising given the otherwise high quality of the flatware.

If the knives had the same solid feel as the rest of the pieces, this set would be nearly perfect.

About this time last year I requested and received samples of 3 different styles of flatware. In my mind I had ruled out the Kensington so I didn’t even request a sample of it. I thought it was too ornate for me. But I just couldn’t make a decision. I thought about calling the company and asking them for guidance but then life happened. I had health problems and ended up in the hospital. Then, months later I moved out of state. I kept thinking about the flatware but it was easy to procrastinate because it wasn’t really necessary. I had flatware but it was made in China and was deteriorating rapidly. I revisited the Kensington page and one reviewer said, get it! You won’t regret it. So I did! And they were so right! It’s beautiful. I love it!
