MEPRA Stainless Steel Flatware Set - Service for 4

I'm so disappointed. I truly wanted to love these and be in awe of such finery that they were supposed to be. The 18/10 is a good, balanced, heavy feel and the finish is really nice. However, the stamped design is very inconsistent, missing at times and smudged sideways at times, and there's several knicks on the handles. Literally every 5 piece set has multiple problems and it made me wonder if they sold me seconds! How could they possibly pass inspection?? What's worse, is this a replacement for the Mepra Dolce Vita flatware I purchased first, only I would have given that set 3 stars. I feel so frustrated. This is the first time in our married life(19 years) that we picked out and purchased flatware, and it's been disheartening to spend $1000 for what looks like beat up seconds when it was supposed to be fine, quality, family made flatware from Italy!
