Bought a house - need cutlery.

How much should one part with for a set of cutlery?

[The Nur]

Can get some cheapy stuff from Tesco from the student range that will do... for now.

Admittedly it is ste, but it is still physically possible to eat off so it can't be that bad.

I would just buy cheap from tesco/argos/ikea until you can afford to buy a better quality set. It's not something I would spend a large amount on if I'd just bought a house.

TK MAxx is your friend, go to one of the larger stores and you'll get a decent set for a discounted price.

Personally, st cutlery gets my goat and it won't cost you that much more to get a discounted set from Tk Maxx than a st set from IKEA and the like.

Just my 2p.

It's not something I'd ever be bothered about, so I'd buy it from Tesco or whatever and leave it at that.

Used every day without fail. Ergonomic and strong. Never bent one. No silly 'wood' handle to get dirt stuck under.

Why buy any more?

Spend as little as possible. Then if it irritates you for the next few months find yourself a decent set in the John Lewis summer clearance or similar. If you don't care then just keep using it.

IKEA sell properly solid cutlery. My Mum bought the cheapest set she could find, felt like Uri Gellar the first time I used them

O'Nedia are decent. I have a set from when i got married, and they feel very heavy (yet still easy to use), compared to the cheap st i bought to take to work with my lunch.

Holy st!

Going to be buying a set soon, that'll do!

Pay a visit to a villeroy and boch outlet shop. We picked up two sets of top class cutlery for less than the price of one from John Lewis.

Doesn't come with forks, only trident shaped things.

I realise these are a little more expensive but they're also aesthetically and ergonomically perfect.

Anything more or less than that is either pointlessly fancy or not as good.

Buy solid metal cutlery. Plastic and wood handled stuff looks crap.

Places like InStore and Wilkinson are what you need for the basics when you've got your own place for the first time.

See no I much prefer the shapes and straight lines of the cheap ones. No need for the fancy curves.

And yes they are very much like tridents, my friends call them that too.
