Review of Oneida Mooncrest 45-Piece Flatware Set, Service for 8

Hello fellow amazonians,

Since I'm benefitting from the reviews of others, I might as well give one myself. So here's my take on this product:

I sure can recommend this Oneida silverware set. It's probably not the highest quality (18/10 steel, other Oneida sets would have some higher value I think), which is adequately reflected in the price. My set does show some "darkening" streaks... maybe I should better say that it just doesn't shine as much anymore as when it was new (having it for 1.5 years now, no dishwasher though). My personal take is that this "darkening" (on single pieces only, I should add) is due to what I perceive as the lower quality of the steel -- which may or may not be true, I'm speaking as a lay person obviously. Having said all this: this is a very appealing design, doesn't look neither too casual nor too chic, it weighs very well in one's hand and is balanced well, and the knives cut well. Overall I think this is a very good value for the price. After having debated whether I should buy a higher quality steel for a second set, I decided to buy another set of the Moonchrest, because it simply looks very good (received even compliments on it), and is functional enough for daily use and classy enough to serve guests with. You can tell, I'm happy with my choice. If I had a wish, though, I would have liked the Moonchrest design in that higher value steel that most Oneida silverware products are made of (that's why I gave four instead of five stars, because to me it's not the "perfect" product).
