Flatware that stays looking great
The best thing about this style is that it doesn't get that scratched, dull look right away. I've only had my set about a year but the brushed finish keeps it looking brand new compared to a few serving pieces I have in another shiny-finish style. I also like the weight on this set. Some of the cheaper sets feel flimsy but not this one. It is a very nice weight. I...

Not 18/8, 18/0! Much cheaper steel that WILL corrode.
My order just arrived today, 12/26/07 and the steel was 18/0 - NOT 18/8. The difference is huge, the /8 means 8% nickel, which improves the finish, but more importantly gives stainless dishware its corrosion resistance. 18/0 will corrode in the dishwasher rapidly, 18/8 or /10 will last many many years. If you aren't sure what you have, 18/0 is magnetic, 18/8 or 18/10...

It is easy to match, perfect for casual or elegant dining and easy to wash (no food getting stuck in elaborate crevices). This is also the best price on the net.

A Classic --- Simple, Understated & Beautiful, June 23, 2007
This review is from: Oneida Colonial Boston 20-Piece Stainless-Steel Flatware Set, Service for 4 (Kitchen)
I grew up with Oneida Colonial Boston silverware. When I was setting up my own house I found there were a myriad of choices. Yet, I kept coming back to Oneida and this pattern in particular. Here's what I love about this my set:
1) It's a simple pattern, not fussy but classically beautiful.
2) Even though the name of the pattern is "Colonial Boston" this flatware goes with ANYTHING. When we moved into our new house we decided to update our furnishings and chose a decidedly casual contemporary look. I changed out our plates but kept my flatware!
3) The brushed finish on these keep them looking great, even after years of use.
4) Oneida is good quality. I've never had these bend, warp or rust (of course this is with normal use). I've had mine for about 14 years but admit I've had to add to my set throughout the years -- but only because pieces keep disappearing (Where DO those teaspoons go???!!).
5) They wash in the dishwasher beautifully.
6) Great for everyday or special occassions & holidays. I am not a fussy/ornate type of person. I use my set for every occasion. I've looked at "special occasion" flatware and it's all too scrolled, flowery or busy for me.
For me, the Oneida Colonial Silverware is where it's at. I never get sick of looking at the pattern and overall I just love 'em.

Good Quality/Great Value, November 9, 2007
This review is from: Oneida Colonial Boston 20-Piece Stainless-Steel Flatware Set, Service for 4 (Kitchen)
To replace many pieces of mixed/matched economy Oneida flatware that have served me well for 15 years, I bought a 20 piece setting of the Oneida's Boston Colonial flatware, as well as, a 20 piece setting of the Paul Revere flatware. The two designs look very similar but the Paul Revere costs 3 to 4 times more. Both designs are plain and understated but of high quality and the difference between the two is minimal. The Boston Colonial pieces have more areas of a shiny finish, while the Paul Revere flatware appears to be a very slightly heavier weight. Both are 18/8 stainless, look great, and fit nicely in Oneida's stylish acryllic flatware caddy. They will serve you well for both casual and formal dining and go with just about any kind of dishware. The only reason that I can think of for the for the price difference between the two patterns is that the Paul Revere line is classified by Oneida as one of its Lifetime patterns.
Bottom line -- buy the Boston Colonial from Amazon.com ASAP because I believe that Oneida now produces its latest version of Boston Colonial (shown on Oneida's website) in lower quality 18/0 stainless.

onieda colonial boston stainless steel flatware, September 13, 2003
This review is from: Oneida Colonial Boston 20-Piece Stainless-Steel Flatware Set, Service for 4 (Kitchen)
Awesome! I bought this set about 5 years ago & it's held up very well, still looks brand new. It goes with practically any type of table you could ever set, casual to formal. It's a classic design that won't ever go out of style, at least in my book. I highly recommend it.

Outstanding Product, August 2, 2007
This review is from: Oneida Colonial Boston 20-Piece Stainless-Steel Flatware Set, Service for 4 (Kitchen)
We started our set of Oneida Independence, which is interchangeable with Colonial Boston, 25 years ago and have added to it since. This stuff still looks amazing, doesn't bend, doesn't scratch, doesn't rust, and holds its satin finish beautifully. We had three-tined forks from the original set, but they are no longer available so we ordered the four-tine; also, the originals were pistol-grip knives, and we got straight handles on the second set. No matter - it's all still in great shape. We have ordered cocktail forks and iced tea spoons since our second set arrived (3 years ago) from Amazon and the only difference between the then set and the now set is that the newer set has shiny bowls on the spoons vs. satin bowls on the older stuff. Just two nights ago my husband commented on how well this flatware has held up and how much we still like its simple design. All credit to me, thank you very much!

false advertising by Amazon.com, December 27, 2008
This review is from: Oneida Colonial Boston 20-Piece Stainless-Steel Flatware Set, Service for 4 (Kitchen)
December 2008 I purchased 2 sets of the Oneida Colonial Boston 20-Piece Stainless Steel Flatware. The discription that Amazon gave was that it ws 18/8. When they were received the flatware was 18/0. To say the least I was very disappointed in the quality. I would not buy anything from Amazon again because I do not fell I can trust the discriptions of their products. I do not appreciate bait and switch tactics. I do not have the time to keep returning items because they are not what Amazon claims they are. I rated this as 1 star because I could not rate it without at least 1 star. I would give it a 0

Second verse, same as the first, August 4, 2003
This review is from: Oneida Colonial Boston 20-Piece Stainless-Steel Flatware Set, Service for 4 (Kitchen)
I bought these to go with Colonial Boston flatware that we already owned. I'm always a little concerned when I buy something like this through the mail that it will not match what I already own, and that the quality will be worse. But these exactly matched what we already owned (purchased maybe 8 years ago?) and the quality was just as I hoped it would be.

very nice, September 6, 2008
This review is from: Oneida Colonial Boston 20-Piece Stainless-Steel Flatware Set, Service for 4 (Kitchen)
It was a better price than at Wal-mart or Target and the same quality as in the stores. Oneida has a very nice 18/8 stainless steel and very well balanced. Oneida has been in business for a very long time and has very nice flatware.
