5.0 out of 5 stars Very nice
We've been looking to replace our stainless for a few years now, patiently waiting for the right set that balanced style, features, durability and value. It was tough as most of the sets we liked were very expensive - $20+ per place setting. We thought about a Mikasa set that is made in Korea, but we were not sold on the style and they were made of 18/8 steel; a lesser...

I bought this set about a year and a half ago based on all the good reviews here. However within a couple months after using the set and dishwashing them, they started to develop rust spots!

This review is from: Oneida Satin Garnet 65-Piece Flatware Set with Caddy, Service for 12 (Kitchen)
We've been looking to replace our stainless for a few years now, patiently waiting for the right set that balanced style, features, durability and value. It was tough as most of the sets we liked were very expensive - $20+ per place setting. We thought about a Mikasa set that is made in Korea, but we were not sold on the style and they were made of 18/8 steel; a lesser grade of stainless.

We came across this set of Oneida at a local department store for $150 for the 12 piece setting. We agreed that it was the set we were looking for but we came home to see if it was available at amazon.com.

We were delighted to find it at 1/3 lower cost - what a great buy! They arrived today and we could not be happier. 18/10 (same as the $20+ sets) and the same weight as well.

GREAT FIND - you'll love them.

I have been lazy about sending them back to Oneida for the lifetime warranty but it will be done for sure. Also note that the set is made in China. An older Oneida set of similar quality I have had for well over 10 years has never rusted and was made in the USA. Don't know if Oneida's quality control has improved since I purchased my set but I don't know if I will buy another Oneida set after this.

5.0 out of 5 stars wonderful, versatile pieces, March 18, 2005
This review is from: Oneida Satin Garnet 65-Piece Flatware Set with Caddy, Service for 12 (Kitchen)
My husband and I just got married and we were looking for a nice, hefty 18/10 flatware set that would be suitable for both everyday use as well as when we would be entertaining. Upon doing an extensive search on the internet, I came upon Oneida's Satin Garnet collection. After reading all the product description and reviews, I was convinced we had found what we were looking for. So I placed the order in December 2004. They arrived about a week later and sure enough, we were absolutely delighted with our purchase. The pieces look wonderful and feel great in the hand...each feels very solid, quite substantial. After almost 3 months of usage, I still find myself admiring them! They do well in the dishwasher too, always coming out with a nice mirror shine. And the price here at Amazon.com can't be beat. I saw this same collection last weekend on sale at a department store for $150! All I can say is thanks Amazon for carrying such a great product at a terrific bargain!

Purchased this Oneida flatware and couldn't be more pleased! It has a luxurious, heavy feel and large proportioned pieces. The caddy tray is nicer than I expected and I'm storing the flatware in it. I recommend this to anyone looking for a truly delightful, large scaled, set of stainless! It shines!

5.0 out of 5 stars I love this flatware!, December 16, 2005
By P. G. Strawderman (Richmond, VA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Oneida Satin Garnet 65-Piece Flatware Set with Caddy, Service for 12 (Kitchen)
I am not a decisive shopper and feel compelled to do extensive "comparison" shopping. I am always thinking that there might be something better just around the corner (this can drive my family mad!). Therefore, in my quest for new flatware, I purchased three - yes, three! - sets of 18/10 stainless flatware on-line: Oneida Satin Camber from [...] and Wallace Rockport (102-piece set) from [...]. I was immediately disappointed with the Wallace flatware. Though it is 18/10 stainless steel and had matching serving pieces and extra teaspoons, etc., it seemed flimsy - I swear I could have bent the spoons in half myself! I also felt that the design was "blah." The Oneida Satin Camber set had a very pretty design and the pieces felt substantial in my hand. But talk about oversized - the fork and soup spoons were "ginormous!" And I was disappointed that I could not find any matching serving pieces for the Oneida Satin Camber. But then...the Oneida Satin Garnet flatware arrived - at lightning speed, I might add! - from Amazon.com. I love this set! The pieces are indeed substantial as other reviewers have pointed out, but our family is used to heavy flatware so they felt "just right" to us. The design is beautiful and the size of the pieces is perfect - not too big, not too small! I washed them in the dishwasher before putting them away in the accompanying wooden caddy - and they came out of the dishwasher looking shiny and spotless. This is a service for 12 with five matching pieces. Additional pieces are available at various places on-line, including [...]. All in all, I am very pleased with the beauty and durability of this flatware. And Amazon got them to me practially overnight! I am glad that I did some comparison shopping (even though it was a hassle returning the other two flatware sets, it was still worth the satisfaction of getting the set I really like!).

5.0 out of 5 stars Solid Strong Sturdy SUPER!, August 20, 2005

This review is from: Oneida Satin Garnet 65-Piece Flatware Set with Caddy, Service for 12 (Kitchen)
I bought this service to be used at parties, etc. when I needed more flatware. I am so pleased with it I'm tempted to switch it and use it all the time and just pull out my old stuff when needed! It is solid! Hefty! Very very nice shine. I am not disappointed! The wooden caddy that comes with the set is helpful for storage, too.
Just to note: I couldn't tell by the picture on the web site, but the handles of each of the utensils is "frosted". (I would prefer unfrosted -- but the strengh of this stuff far outways that!) Also, there is a little round, ball design at the very end of each utensil. (Hard to explain!) For the knife, this design is on both sides of the handle (as is the "frosting"), but for the forks and spoons, the design is only on the one side, so the other side has sort of an indentation instead of the ball design. I was surprised to see it -- but am not bothered by it. Just wanted to mention it! Additionally, the back side of the forks and spoons are not frosted -- only the knives are frosted on both sides -- and I think that is customary with flatware. I am VERY PLEASED with this stuff and for the price, I cannot wait to use it! One thing is for sure: no one is going to bend any of this stuff-- I bet it is nearly impossible. Very substantial flatware.

We've used this tableware every day for two months & couldn't be happier. It truly has the weight, balance and look of sterling flatware. It also comes with very nice serving pieces.

I did a lot of research before buying this flatware set. What other people said about it convinced me: "it is heavy weight, sturdy feeling, good for everyday use". I found this all to be true. It's quite beautiful, the pieces fit nicely in the hand, and I would recommend it for everyday family use without reservation.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Set...Great Looks, June 25, 2006
This review is from: Oneida Satin Garnet 65-Piece Flatware Set with Caddy, Service for 12 (Kitchen)
My husband and I received this set for our wedding, 3 years ago, and we absolutely love it. It is very heavy and durable, yet the look is sophisticated. We purchased it for 3 of our friends and everyone loves it. Great Buy!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Very nice BUT soup spoon too small!, December 8, 2006
By L. Chun (Bay Area, CA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Oneida Satin Garnet 65-Piece Flatware Set with Caddy, Service for 12 (Kitchen)
I received this set two days ago. I like them a lot given the price. It's a very nice deal. One hundred and five dollars including free shipping. This is a great price for this set.

I love everything about them EXCEPT for the size of the soup spoon. It's much too small. The difference between the tea spoon and the soup spoon in this set is almost negligible. The soup spoon should have been designed much bigger. The purpose of having nicer--more expensive--flatware/silverware is to have large, quality eating instruments, and this set mostly delivers, but the soup spoon is much too small.

The weight of each piece is definitely on the hefty side but I like that. It's suppose to feel this solid and hefty. But I can understand if one is used to eating with less expensive flatware, this set may feel a bit heavy upon initial use.

Again, everything is great about this set and the price is definitely priced to sell. The only con for me is the small size of the soup spoon. If they made the soup spoon about 30% bigger, than I'd have given these 5 stars. But if you don't mind a smaller soup spoon, I'd buy them no questions asked!
