5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful flatware!
I'll just reiterate what everyone else says - this is excellent quality, heavy duty silverware for an incredible price. Just the feel of it in your hand is pleasant. The minute you pick it up, you know its nice stuff. For some reason we were constantly running out of clean forks - with this set for 12 it's not a problem any more, lol. If you are looking for heavy...

3.0 out of 5 stars A couple of things that I found about this item

3.0 out of 5 stars A couple of things that I found about this item, March 1, 2009

This review is from: Oneida Chandler 65-Piece Flatware Set with Wood Storage Tray, Service for 12 (Kitchen)
I've been using this Oneida Chandler flatware set for 12 for a couple of months, and I would like to share my opinion on it. Despite perfect reviews by other users, I have mixed feelings (some good and bad) about this silverware set.

First, it is sturdy and well-balanced in weight. If you dislike light silverware, you will like the weight and thickness of this flatware. When it comes to the style, it is simple and rather plain... Generally, I think this flatware is very practical and well-constructed.

Second, it should be cleared that this flatware is NOT 18/10 stainless steel but 18/0. The nickel content in this silverware is 0, which is less valued than 18/10 (10 percent of nickel) in general. So if you want to have a flatware set with a better quality in terms of material, this flatware might not be the one that you want.

Third, I found scratches are formed in the end part of the fork handle more and more by time (it is not too bad probably for most of people but I found it disappointing). I think the reason is because the main fork of this flatware has a unique curve in the handle so that they are kind of rubbed easily each other in the caddy or in the dishwasher/dry rack. This is a problem only with forks not with others, so I blame it on the shape of forks. After using them for a couple of months, the scratches are visible and contrasted well with the shiny other part. To be honest, I became hesitant with this flatware for this third reason while I was pretty happy before.

I decide to write a review for the first time in Amazon because I thought it would be helpful for people who consider to buy this item while everybody gave a perfect score. Good luck.

I just got my shipment. I am loving it! They are great!!! Nice weight, elegant, and comfortable. No sharp edges at all. What a great price! Service for 12, serving pieces and a caddy! Also, they are 18/10 stainless. I can't stop praising this purchase!

well-balanced, heavier than most, holding up well in dishwasher though we've had them only about 5 months. Don't need a set of silver!

This review is from: Oneida Chandler 65-Piece Flatware Set with Wood Storage Tray, Service for 12 (Kitchen)
This is a great set of tableware. Good heft, excellent finish. The shapes of the forks and spoons are just what we were looking for - almost a contemporary colonial, if that makes sense. Several of the other sets we looked at felt cheap and tinny. This is great value

this is exactly what I was looking for..very plain and simple, the spoons are a slightly unusual shape which makes it look vey stylish. the set has a great weight and feel in your hand. paid $99 which after shopping around I thought was an excellent price for 18/10 quality

By Nan "Momto5" (West Virginia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Oneida Chandler 65-Piece Flatware Set with Wood Storage Tray, Service for 12 (Kitchen)
This flatware if very heavy and just feels great in your hand. I'm disappointed now every time we eat out with cheaper feeling flatware. This is just an excellent value and we purchased two sets.

If you're looking for high quality flatware and a reasonable price---this is the set!
