Review Gorham Studio 5-Piece Stainless Flatware Set

That fact signals the quality that, to this day, is built into Gorham products, including Gorham Studio Stainless Flatware. This casual, but stylish, pattern will be a lasting addition to any table for any occasion. Here are the details, including raves by satisfied buyers.

the "starter kit" of the Studio line
 
Review Date: December 31, 2003
Reviewer: sillygirl412, Ossining, NY United States
Pros:
1) dishwasher friendly
2) scratch resistant (for the most part - but don't scrub the life out of it!)
3) great for everyday use, but stylish enough for formal entertaining
4) the knives are sufficiently sharp for most meat dishes

Cons:
1) they hold heat extremely well, so watch yourself after they've been run through the d/w or been accidentally left in a pan that you're stiring
2) if you eat spaghetti like a true Italian (which I'm not, but I still eat this way), and wind your noodles around your fork by using a spoon, here's a word of warning: The spoons' bowls get scratched by the fork tines too easily and you end up with a dull-looking finish (otherwise, this set is very scratch resistant, as mentioned above). To minimize this, just use the same spoon everytime you need to use one for this function - you will unfortunately be able to tell which one you've used before.

Overall, we are very statisfied with this set as a whole. They have gotten daily use for the last 2 1/2 years and have served us well. Even the specialized serving pieces (sold separately)get frequent use.

Elegant flatware
 
Review Date: December 5, 2004
Reviewer: Pickypicky, Massachusetts, USA
My husband and I purchased a set of Studio by Gorham flatware four years ago. We considered many brands and styles at the time and decided that we wanted to buy one set that would do double duty for everyday use and for entertaining. I think we made a wise purchase. This flatware has a pleasant heft to it, and by that I mean all of the pieces, not just the knives. The pieces are also well balanced so that they are comfortable in the hand, and the narrow neck which tapers to a wide handle is very elegant. My only slight complaint is that the finish is highly polished, and over time it has become scratched, however, I consider that only a minor flaw since any set of flatware will show wear. I am very pleased with this set, and I think it was one of the best purchases we made when we got married.
No longer 18/10 flatware
 
Review Date: April 9, 2010
Reviewer: Picky CO Mom, Fort Collins, Colorado United States
I received 10 placesettings of this flatware in 1997 for my wedding. I just ordered 6 more placesettings of the same at the end of Dec 2009. When I received them I noticed they were not quite as heavy and not as rounded as my older sets. After a few washes, I took a closer look at them as they weren't washing as well either. I noticed the stamp on the back of the new ones says 18/8 not 18/10. I am not as pleased with the new sets and am very disappointed that companies keep selling this product as 18/10 when it is not.
The Gorham Studio pattern is great!

Reviewer: Texan d'Acadien, I live here
This is a great casual flatware pattern made by Gorham, a very reputable company. I love the way the silverware feels in my hand. It's pretty, too. I think it is also very affordable and looks more expensive than it is.
Great item for a wedding registry.
Great silverware

Reviewer: Jean, Wisconsin
After searching for several years, I bought this pattern for everyday usage. It has a solid feel. It looks good with everyday and fine china. My only complaint is that if it is not dried when handwashed it gets water spots. If I use my dishwasher this is not an issue.
