Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Oneida Satin Sand Dune 20-Piece Stainless-Steel Flatware Set, Service for 4
Customer Review: Confused, but happy with product!
Summary: 4 Stars
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. Since my purchase, it appears that there has been some mix-up in Oneida's labeling of the flatware. Some customer reviews state that the flatware is not actually 18/8, but 18/0, and, therefore, poorer quality and an inferior product.
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. 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.
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).
So all of that is definitely confusing to me. 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. 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.
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. 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. 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. So, for me, and others with the same condition, flatware without nickel is probably a very good thing.
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 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. I certainly support truth in advertising as much as the next person, but, really, who truly knows how or when the mis-labeling occurred? 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! 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. In my opinion, that price is a bargain.
So, I certainly wish you good luck with your shopping decision, as I know this confusion with the rating just makes it more complicated. 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. And that goes for both this 20 piece set and the 45 piece set with the serving pieces. They both still look brand new.
