  1. Hi, Chloe,

    I love the look of the flatware with the various seasonal tablescapes. But do you actually USE it to eat with? I’m wondering because it got a number of bad reviews on Amazon. If I purchased it, I would use it only on special occasions and would hand wash it, but I and my family would actually be eating with it; I wouldn’t be using it only for display.

    Your thoughts?

    1. I hand wash this flatware and hand dry it as soon as I have finished washing it. I have used it quite a bit, particularly for Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners. I have never had any problem with it, I am actually wondering why people have given it bad reviews.

  2. I have some wood handled flatware that I bought from BBB that I not only like to use for eating, but am amazed at how it goes with so many of my tablescapes! Yours looks great with all these different themes…can you believe I have never been to an Ikea! Probably just as well, I would buy too much!

  3. Awesome ideas Chloe, You are right, this is a truly versatile flatware set. I have been trying to stay away from IKEA lately (LOL). I have a tendency to spend too much when I go there . Superb tablescapes by the way.
