I disagree profusely, IKEA cutlery is horrible. The fork tips are dull, the spoons are too shallow and too big, the spoon soup is completely the wrong shape, the handles are extremely unergonomic, the weight is not solid at all, they look and feel cheap, and they are ugly.
I know which ones you’re talking about, and I agree about them. They’re called 365+. While these seem to be the most popular, there are others which are shaped for better ergonomics and utility.
IKEA sells a wide variety of cutlery. Some of them are flimsy, some are extremely good for the price. But overall, I’m with OP on this one: you can indeed find good looking and nice to use cutlery at IKEA for a bargain.
They change over time. My absolute favorite fork is from ikea. Our other forks cost 3x as much but I like the ikea one better. Sadly I’ve never been able to find that set there again (bought it 20+ years ago)
