Quality declining
I was given a set of this flatware as a wedding gift in 1977. This was to add to that set. The quality has clearly deteriorated.
FORMAL AND GRACIOUS
(VERY GRACIOUS, BUT I WOULD GIVE IT 4 1/2 STARS IF I COULD. SEE COMMENTS BELOW.)
Oneida's 18/10 stainless flatware is superb quality and the Michelangelo pattern is gorgeous, very traditional and romantic. This style used to be common in past generations, but is now relatively rare. The Michelangelo pattern was nowhere in our local stores, even though we are just a few minutes from a major metropolitan area, with excellent shopping. In spite of being quite satisfied with my purchase, I do have a few qualifying comments to share with potential customers about design.
First, the spoons tend to be much shorter than those of other stainless sets, quite a bit shorter than the forks and knives in the same set. My husband particularly complains about this. The Michelangelo pattern, while elegant, seems to impede his grip on and use of the utensils, and this is most noticeable with the tablespoon and dinner fork. I have less difficulty, so it may be more a matter...
Exactly as promised
Added this to the set I already have - and since I've owned it and used it daily at my bed and breakfast for fifteen years, I can safely attest that it wears like iron. Just as beautiful as the day I bought it. At a fair price, it arrived as promised, well-packaged, and promptly. Can't ask for more than that.
