| Gracefully tapered handles and classic simplicity characterize the Colonial Boston pattern. Handsome yet practical, this 18/0 stainless-steel flatware is corrosion resistant, retains its luster without polishing, and is dishwasher-safe. This 20-piece set provides full service for 4 diners. Each 5-piece setting consists of a dinner fork, a salad fork, a soup spoon, a teaspoon, and a knife. --Fred Brack What’s in the Box

 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 aren't. |
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 also love the fact that it is such a simple design. 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

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

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. |
