I bought a Denise set several years ago and the tips, cables, joins, etc, are all nice, but not great. I prefer a little weight in my needles to hold and balance the weight of the yarn on my hands. Since this set is all plastic, I found the very light weight not much to my liking. They would probably be great for someone with arthritic fingers, and/or working with lace or fingering yarn only, on small projects, but I didn't care for the feel of them when knitting sweaters and other larger projects. Hope this helps, and happy knitting!
