Best Flatware Sets – Quality Colored and Stainless-Steel Flatware Sets for Casual and Everyday Use

Oneida has been making fine and casual flatware for over 100 years. It’s likely that you’re already familiar with the Oneida name, as this is one of the best-known brands for flatware, dinnerware, drinkware, and more. Browse the kitchen and dining section at any local department store, and you’re likely to find a sizable selection of items from Oneida. There’s a good reason for this – the company consistently produces items that please customers with their durability, beauty, and value.

The Flight 45-piece flatware set features rounded, fluid lines and curved embellishments on the handles. The utensils are made from 18/0 stainless steel for ultimate luster, and they never need polishing. Along with 5-piece place settings for 8, you get a 5-piece hostess set including 2 serving spoons, 1 serving fork, 1 sugar spoon, and 1 butter knife.

You can also purchase Oneida Flight design flatware in larger or smaller sets, or choose pieces individually.

If you’ve ever been in an Ikea, you’ve probably been wowed by the selection and quality of home items, and you’ve probably also been blown away by the low prices. If you haven’t been in an Ikea, and don’t own Ikea products, you might be skeptical about the quality. The truth is, you shouldn’t be! In general, Ikea’s products are really durable. They’re also stylish and thoughtfully designed.

The FÖRNUFT 20-piece flatware set is a great, shiny, solidly constructed set of forks, knives, and spoons at an unbelievable price. This is the perfect set for college students, young people furnishing their first apartment, couples just starting out – basically anyone who wants an inexpensive full set of everyday flatware.

If you’re looking for something just a little fancier, you might try one of these other flatware sets by Ikea:

• ÄTBART 20 Piece Flatware Set
• BEHAGFULL 20 Piece Flatware Set
• DRAGON 60 Piece Flatware Set

Ikea products are some of the few items that tend to be more expensive on Amazon. However, if you consider shipping (especially if you have Amazon Prime), you might still be better off buying through Amazon. If you’ve got an Ikea near you, you can probably get the best price by buying in store.

Hosts and hostesses everywhere know that Lenox is unbeatable for quality and beauty. This is a brand that makes tableware and other home items resembling mini art pieces. Additionally, you’ll find that many of their collections are very large and coordinate with a number of different pieces, so in addition to flatware, you can find serving spoons, dishes, and serve ware.

We decided to feature the Butterfly Meadow® set because it is unique, elegant, and durable. You and your guests will recognize the craftsmanship in the forks, spoons, and knives with each use. However, we realize that butterfly-adorned flatware might not be for everyone. If this set isn’t to your taste, you can still find beautiful Lenox flatware.

Here are just a few of your other options:

• Scoop by Lenox
• Eternal Frosted by Lenox
• Francis by Reed & Barton

Whether you want casual flatware, fine stainless flatware, or genuine sterling silverware, Lenox has options for you.
