I love this set. It's made of excellent quality stainless steel and includes a serving set! Very high quality stuff. Oneida definately makes good products. The flatware looks nice also.

This flatware is attractive and holds up well to everyday use. It is solid and of very good quality. This is a good value. I'm a repeat purchaser - have had this flatware for well ov er5 years.

I've had these for over 5 years now and aside from my own mistakes (bending the spoons in hard ice cream; losing pieces) I haven't had any problems with them. I don't understand what the 18/0 rating means or why other people find it substandard, but I can tell you this: I'm buying another set to replace all the ones we've lost or accidentally thrown away because all the remaining pieces still look perfect after 5 years. If people need anything better than these, I can't understand why. No stains, no rust, no discoloration, no significant scratches, no gouges, no dulling of the finish, nothing. What else could people be looking for?

One side note: I've seen a different cheaper version of this same style at Wal-Mart, but the pieces there are thinner and not as substantial as these. The set pictured here is the nicer, beefier version.

We've have two of this set (Service for 16) for over 6 years now and they're still in good shape. Let me tell you, we are heavy duty eaters here! They get used daily and also at frequent large family gatherings. The utensils have held up against being used as tools, run through the dishwasher hundreds of times, lost in the disposal and they are still able to shovel food into our mouths! Sure, some of the spoons and forks have gotten bent when abused but they straighten right up with a tweak or two. The stiff knife blades will cut right through a steak. They've got a nice heft to them that gives you confidence that your food will make it to your mouth without the fork bending. People who have complained that these are 18/0 and not 18/10 Stainless are lame. For this use 18/0 is more than adequate (I'm an engineer so there!) They've never rusted. They are not as shiny after being abused for six year but that has nothing to do with the type of steel. AND...they are a great deal at Amazon!

I am extremely pleased with this set. It is amazing for the price! I've been looking for a casual set for a while now, and found this one. I played with the idea of purchasing it, then the price went down to 39.99, and I was sold!!
I read a reveiw that said the knife was 2 separate pieces, and can thus separate, but the knives I received are most surely one piece of steel. They are very nice, not too fancy. I have square plates and wavy glasses and these go great! They are basic without being dull. I love them!!

This was my first set of flatware when I moved out on my own. After years of handwashing and everyday use, the necks of the spoons and tines of the dinner forks started to bend.

Since I needed more place settings and at the time was not aware I could go online find the pattern, I replaced Flight with Mooncrest and am INFINATELY happier with the Mooncrest pattern.

Mooncrest is twice as heavy, practically destruction-proof, and are holding up MUCH better than the pieces of the Flight set I still have left.

Flight is OK for everyday use, but I would never use the same set for casual entertaining because of the use they cannot sustain.

Get the Mooncrest pattern if you need a sturdy set that you can interchange with everyday use and casual entertaining.

This set was a decent price for what was received. The discription did not state what the metal content was and I took a chance. I was disappointed to learn that it is 18/0 and not 18/8 or better.

I got a smaller version of this set as a gift from my mother over six years ago. The flatware has held up to everyday use, and it is nice and sturdy. It also looks very attractive: Classy and not too fancy. I love the set so much that I recently purchased another one just like it. It's hard to distinguish the newer pieces from the older ones.

I bought this set for my cousin's bridal shower. It is a beautiful set of flatware. She was pleased to receive it. It is neutral enough to go with just about any style of plates. I would highly recommend this set.

Off on on over the years, I've purchased Oneida, as well as other brands of silverware. One of the things I'm coming to detest is that they all seem to tarnish in the dishwasher, in particular the knives, from the very first use. I've now had these since Jan 2009, and they are no different.

On the plus side, the weight is not bad, though I'm not convinced they are as well balanced as some of the other lines by Oneida and the design is sufficiently simple for my particular taste.
