Ginkgo Lafayette 65-Piece Stainless Steel Flatware Set, Service for 12


Ginko Lafayette flatware service for 12.

The service arrived within 10 days of my purchasing it through Amazon and was extremely well packed for safe arrival.

Very Nice
It's very nice was really fast and packaged well. I will look very good on table can use with formal dining.
