Well balanced, easy to use and beautifull. The best you can get!
Pros
I like the wood handles and that they don't cling against a glass salad bowl. I like the shape, size and weight of the set. It is like a good tool.
Cons

These are beautifully designed and well crafted servers with a nice weight; I'm glad I ordered them with my new flatware. They are so lovely I have them sitting out on the buffet so that I can admire them, rather than storing them away in the drawer. They are well worth the higher price. A good purchase I will enjoy for many years.
Pros
Quality of craftsmanship
Cons
Nothing

Your service was prompt and efficient. This set of salad servers is one of my all time favorite objects. I have a set and have gifted them to everyone in my family. They are now my favorite wedding present when cash is not appropriate. I use mine everyday. They are elegant and practical. I also want to thank you for finding a spare one a few years ago when my daughter broke the wooden handle on one of her pieces. That was excellent service and way beyond anything that could be reasonably expected.
Pros
Lends a note of style and elegance for everyday use. Makes daily life more gracious. And it is not made by 10 year old children in a third world sweatshop. This is a major consideration in all my purchasing.
Cons
For those who have forgotten how to wash dishes, it doesn't go into the dishwasher. Not really a problem.
