Product Description

Amazon.com Review

Exceptionally ornate, the heirloom-quality stainless-steel Michelangelo flatware from Oneida has the grace and beauty of antique silver. The sculptural handles feature elegant cut-outs and a floral motif that runs all the way up the neck. A gleaming finish on the working end and antiquing on the handle complete the effect. Crafted from 18/10 stainless steel, Michelangelo pieces are 18 percent chrome for maximum corrosion-resistance and 10 percent nickel for rich luster. Full service for 1, this place setting includes a 6-inch teaspoon, 6-1/2-inch place spoon, 9-inch place knife, 7-1/4-inch place fork, and 6-1/2-inch salad fork with decorative cut-outs below the tines. The set is dishwasher-safe and carries a lifetime warranty. It is also part of Oneida's Flatware for a Lifetime program, so you can add to your collection for as long as you like. --Emily Bedard

1.0 out of 5 stars Big disappointment. 18/10 made in USA, heirloom collection, August 20, 2009

Oneida got the 18/10 right and the serving pieces are beautiful. Perhaps the larger size of the serving pieces allowed them more room to embelish the pattern more fully. Their large serving pieces earn five stars for a stainless pattern.

However, the 5 piece place settings are a HUGE disappointment. They do not have a nice hand feel to them. They are not well balanced and they look "cheap." The Michelangelo stainless pattern is squished up and lacks depth due to the smaller scale.

The forks and spoons are not in the Continental size. This is okay, but they just are NOT comfortable in the hand and they lack the elegance of a well made set. Perhaps Continental sizing for the place settings would have allowed a better presentation of the pattern design. The quality of the workmanship is fine, the pattern detail on the five piece place settings is flawed. This is a design issue.

The discontinued STERLING Michelangelo pattern is awesome! This stainless version is a sad attempt at capturing the beauty of the sterling.

If you love this pattern, save up for the sterling version--well worth the difference in price. Watch on ebay as it is discontinued. Yes, it is okay to use sterling everyday. Use makes sterling even more beautiful. You are worth it!

I do appreciate Oneida keeping jobs in the USA and had hoped to support American workers. However, Oneida is beginning to outsource flatware manufacturing. I am willing to pay more for quality items made in the USA. But, this set just doesn't make the grade.

4.0 out of 5 stars Lovely, but really should be hand washed, March 4, 2007

I really like this pattern. I have some pieces that are older than others. Over time, the have gotten off-color a bit because of the dishwasher. I understand that the manufacturer recommends hand-washing, but in 2007 they've got to be kidding. I machine wash these and am very happy with them.

If I were looking at this place setting for the first time I might like it. However comparing it with my stainless steel set purchased in the 1970's, I am slightly disappointed. The length is the same, but the balance of the spoon is not quite right. The look of the new setting is not as nice as the original, as it lacks the same quality of detail. I am obliged to keep the new setting because I need a replacement, but I must say that the Oneida company should have the same pride in their product now as they did then.
