Product Description

Amazon.com Review

Forthright yet graceful, the American Harmony flatware line from Oneida brings early American aesthetics to the contemporary table. Crafted from corrosion-resistant 18/8 stainless steel, the pattern features attractively broad handles with tapered tips and necks. A beaded border adds dimension and understated ornamention--just enough to refine a place setting without overwhelming it. Mirror finishing and comfortable working end proportions complete the design.

A starting point for an American Harmony collection, this set includes 20 pieces and serves four diners. Each place setting includes a salad fork, a place fork, a place knife, a soupspoon, and a teaspoon. Serving sets are also available. For convenient cleanup, American Harmony is safe in the dishwasher and retains its luster without polishing. --Emily Bedard

What's in the Box

Product Description

Oneida's American Harmony is understated, exquisite and exceptional. Early American styling is accented by a delicate beaded border on this timeless Oneida design. The brightly polished quill-shaped handle is striking against any table surface.

3.0 out of 5 stars Careful, no longer made in USA, not the same quality, February 3, 2009

No Rules, Just Right (USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Oneida American Harmony 20-Piece Set, Service for 4 (Kitchen)

I love the original American Harmony flatware. I purchased two 24 pc. sets from a department store a decade ago (they used to come with 4 extra spoons), and I purchased a 53 pc. set (service for 6 on special with free 24 pc. set, 77 pieces total) here at Amazon a few years later. But those who have pieces from that far back and order replacement pieces now are noticing the quality is no longer as good. Most noticeably, the knives are no longer thick, heavy, and rounded, but are now flat and lightweight. Some have also noticed the newer pieces stain more easily and become discolored.

Oneida has admitted that this flatware is "made in a different country" now. Oneida's last US plant closed in 2005.

I personally consider it dishonest business practice for Oneida to continue manufacturing the variants under the original model name. The honest thing to do would be to call these American Harmony II or New American Harmony, if not something entirely different.

My free 24 pc. set that I got with the 53 pc. set from Amazon is still in the box, # 2905024C. I haven't needed to open it because the others are still in fabulous condition. A few teaspoons have mysteriously disappeared, but thankfully the original 24 pc. sets came with "4 extra teaspoons".

4.0 out of 5 stars Very attractive pattern, July 18, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Oneida American Harmony 20-Piece Set, Service for 4 (Kitchen)

I bought two sets of this pattern in a department store, because I fell in love with the weight and heaviness of the knife. I think the other pieces are very good looking as well. The sets stood up well to once or twice a day washing in my dishwasher. The only complaint I have: when I ordered individual replacement pieces through Oneida online, they turned yellowish over time. However, original pieces still look great.

5.0 out of 5 stars Timeless beauty, elegance, and durable., January 28, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Oneida American Harmony 20-Piece Set, Service for 4 (Kitchen)

I purchased my first set 7 years ago. After looking at all my options still chose this pattern. No, I am not replacing my first set, is is still shiny and we (family of eight, two dishwasher fulls a day) haven't bent or damaged one piece yet. We are adding to our collection. I give it 5 stars for all the reasons mentioned above and some I didn't like it's versatilty when it comes to pairing it with dinnerware. My only complaint is I can not find matching iced tea spoons or matching steak knives like some sets have.
