How can you go wrong?Dec 31, 2007
By S. Blevins
I see another review that these are cheap plates, but I don't believe that to be true at all. However, I do treat my fine china with care and have not had a problem with any chipping or flaking.
I have had this pattern since the early 1990s. It simply stands the test of time and is a classic. Trends in china come and go and this pattern will not.
You just can't go wrong with Lenox and this pattern. I am planning to buy more and am happy to see it's still around!

Lenox--American Excellence!Dec 31, 2010
By M. J. Vance
We just purchased two more place settings of Lenox "Eternal" china. We've had this as our "wedding china" for over 40 years and have finally broken or chipped a couple of cups. Since we have larger groups for dinner, it seemed like a good idea to just have a couple extra plates and saucers, too.
Really excellent, timeless china. We've never been sorry with our choice--and it is the basic pattern for the traditional Lenox Christmas china which we mix and match at the holidays!
No doubt the best American product--and I think (!) it's made in the U.S.A.!

A Classic Pattern, With No Changes in QualityJul 19, 2011
By Debbie Lee Wesselmann
My husband and I registered for this pattern in the 1980s because of its classic and elegant design, figuring that it would probably not be discontinued or, if it was, that we could contrast them with a more modern Lenox cream design. Well, here it is, decades later, and Lenox is still manufacturing Eternal with the same quality and look of the original. I cannot tell the difference between the ones manufactured in the 1980s and the ones I received earlier this month.
Because we decided that it was time to add a few place settings to our existing pieces, we shopped around for sales and specials over the past year. We settled on Amazon because of price, a current special offer, and the ease of having it delivered to the house. Since china is fragile, we weighed the pros and cons of ordering online -- and finally decided that our past experience with Amazon's return policy for damaged merchandise would be enough. Not surprisingly, one of the four boxes shipped contained broken pieces. All I had to do was get on the phone with customer service, arrange for an exchange, print out the return labels, and wait for the replacement box. Fortunately, because I had 30 days to return the broken set, I waited until the replacement arrived. That box had a broken plate in it as well, but between the two boxes, I managed a complete, damage-free place setting. Because of my experience with breakage, I advise that you don't order through here for gifts when it might be difficult for the recipients to exchange items. And if you are counting on having enough place settings for a specific event, order well in advance to give yourself time to return any broken pieces.
The china itself is cream-colored with 1/4" gold bands on the edges and insets. (I believe that Lenox also makes a white china version, but I've never seen it.) This simple design can be compatible with other gold-edged, Lenox cream china, even those with designs, making Eternal a good choice to fill out the number of place settings or serving pieces for a variety of patterns.
Although Lenox claims that the china is dishwasher-safe, I recommend against putting in the dishwasher because of the gold edges. Yes, the china itself should withstand the heat and the harsh detergent, but I doubt the gold bands will. My husband's grandmother used to put her Lenox in the dishwasher all the time, however, without incident. I'm just not willing to take the chance with mine.
My only complaint about this pattern is also its selling point: its simplicity. If you want your china pattern to be distinctive, Eternal is not for you. If, however, you are looking for a pattern that will never be dated or that highlights the food rather than the dishes, then this pattern is a great choice. Chances are, with a name like Eternal, this pattern should be manufactured for decades to come.

Love It!May 04, 2012
By Greeneyedlady757
This is the pattern I wanted 28 years ago, but my mom persuaded me to choose something else. Well...28 years later I'm finally purchasing a set for myself. My first instinct was correct because I STILL love this pattern & dislike the one I haven't used in 20 years. The Lenox Eternal Gold chine is beautiful, elegant & timeless! I can't wait to start using it. Thank you Amazon for packing it securely & getting it here quickly!
