Lenox Eternal 5-Piece Stainless Flatware Placesetting

Beautiful flatware
This Lenox flatware set is very beautiful and makes the table look very elegant. My only complaint is that the larger soup spoon and smaller table spoons are almost the same size - hard to distinguish.

Lenox Federal Platinum Frost 5-Piece Stainless Flatware Placesetting

Good Price
This was a registered gift for a wedding. Not my style, but much less expensive than anywhere else. So overall a good deal.

They're great!
Love, love, love my Federal Platinum Frost flatware! Like the previous reviewer stated, they feel great. They have a nice weight, but not bulky. They have been through my dishwasher hundreds of times and still look as beautiful as they did the day I got them. They are suitable for everyday or for entertaining. They're great!

We love this setting
After searching extensively for placesettings for our wedding registry, we were about to give up when we stumbled on these. We love the look of the pieces, but more importantly, we love the feel. Too many settings today are bulky, or odd shaped, but these have a classic feel with a modern design. Highly recommended!

Gorham Studio 20-Piece Stainless Flatware Set, Service for 4

Simple, elegant, durable
This is the flatware we have used day-to-day for about four years now, and I still love it. In fact, I'm going to order replacement pieces for the ones that have disappeared over the years, and expand our original set. The weight and balance feels very comfortable in your hand. They are easy to clean. Our pieces have been washed by hand and in the dishwasher, and though they now have faint scratches all over from use, they still shine and look beautiful, just as stainless steel should.

the deluxe "starter set" of the Studio line
When we got married 2 1/2 years ago, this was the "everyday" set that we picked out. Since then, we have gotten daily use from them, and it is this amount of usage that I base my review on...

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, there is something you should be aware of: The spoons' bowls get scratched by the fork tines too easily and you end up with a dull-looking finish. To minimize this, just use the same spoon each time you need one for this purpose...

Not the quality of original set
I ordered this set to add to my existing set that we have had for years. These are significantly lighter and not of the same quality. Not sure if it is the dealer or the fact that Gorham is using less quality material. Disappointed but will keep since it will be used at our second home for now.
