Simple and sturdy June 16, 2008
Got this set at a great price when they were on sale, very satisfied with them, I like the simple design, and they seem really sturdy (I scooped ice cream with the spoon without it bending).

Not 18/8, 18/0! Much cheaper steel that WILL corrode. December 26, 2007
21 out of 21 found this review helpful

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 aren't.

Good Quality/Great Value November 9, 2007
5 out of 5 found this review helpful

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.

Oneida Colonial Boston pattern flatware October 31, 2007
Nice finish and weight. Close match to our previous pattern except knife handles are slimmer.

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!
