I love these. They are very pretty in person, a nice silver with a matte shine. They are also a great size. I have had sets in the past that are either too small and have to be refilled constantly, or too large and seem ridiculous on the table or counter. Also, I had to replace my last pair because the pepper mill finally fell apart. These seem to be of much higher quality. Very happy that I was able to find such a nice item at such an affordable price!
