I purchased a 53 piece set of this flatware in early 1995, although it had a different pattern name then. It's not flimsy or cheap flatware,it has a nice weight to it and has held up beautifully for the past 8 years. I've lost a couple of the tablespoons over the years, but was actually able to replace them, and buy a couple more of the serving spoons, directly from the Oneida website, so I still have a complete set. I highly recommend this set of flatware if you're looking for something that still looks as good as new several years from now.

I love this silverware! It feels hefty in your hands, and is an absolutely stunning design. The design strikes a nice balance between intricately patterned flatware and plain handles. It looks terrific with both formal table settings and everyday place settings. It is extremely durable as well. I have had mine for over five years, washed only in the dishwasher (I hate doing dishes by hand!) and still looks like it did the day it was purchased. I feel it is a very good value -- neither too expensive, nor cheaply made. You'll love this flatware!

This set has excellent balance, good weight and simply feels substantial. It is excellent grade stainless which is absolutely maintenance free. The wide availability makes replacing pieces or adding with the serving set an excellent investment in kitchenware.

I love this set. It is solid and heavy. I added pieces to my set and just love this silverware. It stacks neatly in the drawer and wears really well. You will love it!

I purchased the 53-piece set and got the 20-piece for free. I also used my $20 offer toward the purchase of another 20-piece set. I have service for 16 at an incredible price! This flatware is very versatile. I have used it with my every-day dishes as well as my Lenox china. I am extremely pleased with the look and quality of this flatware.

I have several of the serving pieces which I bought 10+ years ago when I was making changes in kitchen ware. This set blends well with many traditional patterns. It has a hefty feel for the price. Over these 10 years the shine remains bright and I continue to use them.

Based on the previous reviews, I decided to buy this style of Oneida flatware, and was pleasantly surprised how great they looked when the package arrived. It's not the heaviest flatware I have ever tried, but for the price, I don't think you can beat it, especially if you take a look at comparable Oneida flatware prices at the mall. Even better, take advantage of the promotion on the free 4-piece set to get your 12 piece set. Again, I think it's a great value for the money and I would recommend this set.

I picked the style because I thought it was nice and the price is great. However, when I received it today, I was dissapointed in the weight of the flatware. The knives are great but the rest are thin. I have another pattern in Oneida and it is much heavier. I am going to search for a different pattern and try again.

I bought this flatware with one of the Friday sales and received the free 24 piece set with it. It is a great deal for the money and the set is not as heavy as I would have like it but it will not bend...it is not that flimsy. I would buy this set again at the great price I was able to buy it at.

I bought this set 12 years ago and have been using it since then. It is the most durable set of flatware I've ever owned. After all these years, it is still shiny and has not rusted or changed in anyway. It is light but not flimsy. I throw it in the dishwasher too. This is really outstanding quality.
