Oneida Satin Sand Dune 20-Piece Stainless Steel Flatware Set, Service for 4 Reviews
It's sturdy enough to handle anything my kids can do to the pieces (sometimes, I swear, my kids are devils) It seems to be exremely top quality. I am replacing some very very old flatware, that was also Oneida - so I can compare this. This flatware set is a great value.
Beautiful, too bad I don't use more than half the set because it's just the two of us, but I absolutely love it
So, I certainly wish you good luck with your shopping decision, as I know this confusion with the rating just makes it more complicated. Oneida Satin Sand Dune 45-Piece Set, Service for 8. So, for me, and others with the same condition, flatware without nickel is probably a very good thing. It has been stated that the reason the flatware is rated as 18/0 is because the nickel was left out of the content of the flatware when it was manufactured. And that goes for both this 20 piece set and the 45 piece set with the serving pieces.
They still sparkle like new, there is no rust visible on any of the pieces at all, or any unexplained bending or warping, and the pieces all stack nicely and evenly in my silverware caddy. But, if anyone wants to know if I, personally, would purchase this product again for myself, or as a gift for someone, I would have to say most definitely, yes, especially after putting it to the test for the last three months. My dermatologist explained to me that this was a common allergy and was caused by the nickel content found in costume jewelry, including sterling silver jewelry. I purchased this service for 4 flatware set and also a service for 8 (with serving pieces) flatware set (both Satin Sand Dune) three months ago, so I could have a complete service for 12. My old flatware set was rated at 18/10, and I did find this flatware slightly lighter in weight, but not any lighter than if it was actually rated at 18/8, as I expected. I then received the service for 8 a few days later, but, unfortunately, I do not remember if I looked at the rating on that box or not.
Since my purchase, it appears that there has been some mix-up in Oneida's labeling of the flatware. So all of that is definitely confusing to me. Well, if that is true, as it turns out, I have sensitive skin and cannot wear any type of jewelry other than gold or platinum. In my opinion, that price is a bargain. But, to be fair, I have to report that after three months of using this flatware everyday and washing it in my dishwasher, I am very pleased with both the quality and the luster of my Satin Sand Dune sets. Well, I do know that when I received this service for 4 Satin Sand Dune set, it was definitely marked as 18/8 on the box.
At the time of writing this review, Amazon now has that 45 piece Satin Sand Dune set with the serving pieces at a reduced price, and I have included the product link below for your information, if you would like to examine it. I certainly support truth in advertising as much as the next person, but, really, who truly knows how or when the mis-labeling occurred. Some customer reviews state that the flatware is not actually 18/8, but 18/0, and, therefore, poorer quality and an inferior product. I had no clue about the 18/0 rating until I decided to write my own positive review about the product and came back here to the amazon product pages. They both still look brand new. Mistakes can happen to manufacturers also, and at least it appears Oneida and Amazon have made an attempt to correct the original error. The only thing I feel a little bad about is that I actually paid about thirty dollars more for the service for 8 set when I bought it in May, but that is just timing and the luck of the draw.
As of right now, on the service for 4 set product page (this product page), they have 18/0 in one place, in Product Features, and then 18/8 listed on the same page in the textual description in the "Amazon.com Review" section (I'm guessing an oversight that it didn't get updated).
I then went to Bed Bath and Beyond and found their items were similarly mismarked. Happy Shopping. Be careful when reading reviews from owners that were either posted more than two years ago or from owners who state they have had their set for more than two years, because the set they are describing is of much higher quality than that which they are currently selling under the same name. and look up the set by name. I did research as to the cause of the mixup and found out the following: Two-or-so years ago, Oneida reacted to the rising cost of nickel by making its lower-end lines (among them American Harmony, Sand Dune, and Satin Sand Dune) with no nickel (signified by the /0).
I recently purchased a service for 8 from Amazon.com for a very reasonable price, only to find out that it was, in fact, 18/0 stainless steel prone to rusting and not the 18/8 rust-resistant stainless advertised. Nickel adds rust resistance and luster to stainless steel, and I have read reviews that state that the new stuff is prone-to-rust. For accurate information on the accurate current composition of this or any other set of flatware by Oneida, go to [.]. Online outlets such as DiscountFlatware offer the discontinued (18/8) variants of these lines for about the same price, if you're willing to wait for shipments that usually take a little longer. Shame on Oneida, and watch out when purchasing sets marked at 18/8.
Furthermore, I checked with several Ebay vendors and they all stated that their postings were also accidentally misleading in labeling 18/0 sets as 18/8.
Although the price is great, there is nothing cheap about this set. I love this set. The flatware is very classy-looking and is heavy without being bulky but rather being sturdy. You can definitely use this for everyday use and for dinner parties/company as it has a look that truly goes with anything. Oneida is a name I have always relied on and this purchase proves that they are still the best in silverware. You can tell that this silverware will last a long time. I am actually going to purchase the service for 8 now that I have received the service for 4 and seen how beautiful it is.
