 Big disappointment. 18/10 made in USA, heirloom collectionAug 20, 2009
By BAM
Oneida got the 18/10 right and the serving pieces are beautiful. Perhaps the larger size of the serving pieces allowed them more room to embelish the pattern more fully. Their large serving pieces earn five stars for a stainless pattern.
However, the 5 piece place settings are a HUGE disappointment. They do not have a nice hand feel to them. They are not well balanced and they look "cheap." The Michelangelo stainless pattern is squished up and lacks depth due to the smaller scale.
The forks and spoons are not in the Continental size. This is okay, but they just are NOT comfortable in the hand and they lack the elegance of a well made set. Perhaps Continental sizing for the place settings would have allowed a better presentation of the pattern design. The quality of the workmanship is fine, the pattern detail on the five piece place settings is flawed. This is a design issue.
The discontinued STERLING Michelangelo pattern is awesome! This stainless version is a sad attempt at capturing the beauty of the sterling.
If you love this pattern, save up for the sterling version--well worth the difference in price. Watch on ebay as it is discontinued. Yes, it is okay to use sterling everyday. Use makes sterling even more beautiful. You are worth it!
I do appreciate Oneida keeping jobs in the USA and had hoped to support American workers. However, Oneida is beginning to outsource flatware manufacturing. I am willing to pay more for quality items made in the USA. But, this set just doesn't make the grade.

Lovely, but really should be hand washedMar 04, 2007
By Nanci G.
I really like this pattern. I have some pieces that are older than others. Over time, the have gotten off-color a bit because of the dishwasher. I understand that the manufacturer recommends hand-washing, but in 2007 they've got to be kidding. I machine wash these and am very happy with them.

 Slightly DisappointedOct 07, 2010
By lassie
If I were looking at this place setting for the first time I might like it. However comparing it with my stainless steel set purchased in the 1970's, I am slightly disappointed. The length is the same, but the balance of the spoon is not quite right. The look of the new setting is not as nice as the original, as it lacks the same quality of detail. I am obliged to keep the new setting because I need a replacement, but I must say that the Oneida company should have the same pride in their product now as they did then.

 ELEGANT AND ORNATEJan 01, 2010
By Cynthia J. Salim
"LOVE 2 LEARN"
Michelangelo is one of my favorite stainless flatware patterns. I have owned 8 place settings plus serving pieces of this pattern for many, many years. The pattern is elegant and ornate so I do not use it everyday. I don't hand wash and the pieces are as lovely as when I first purchased them. I plan to order 4 more place settings to accomodate larger dining groups.
Beautiful pieces, perfect (smaller!) size.Apr 10, 2012
By Target Love
I spent a long time researching and picking out flatware for my wedding registry before I settled on the Oneida Michelangelo pattern. The large Continental size is very popular right now, but I wanted something that wasn't made for a giant! I love that this set is the smaller, more traditional size. It's 18/10, so the durability is there, and the pattern is lovely. The salad forks (and the slotted spoon in the serving set) are particularly beautiful.
I wash mine in the dishwasher every time I use them without issue. I love this set because it's hardy enough for everyday use but beautiful enough to set a more formal table. It will be a long time before I have enough pieces of my silver pattern to use for entertaining, and I'm more than happy to set a fancy table with my Oneida Michelangelo in the meantime.
I agree with JayZ and think it's really unfortunate that BAM and FWCrows are giving this poor reviews because of the size. Flatware comes in 3 sizes - Luncheon, Dinner and Continental. It requires a lot of research to determine what size many sets are, since it's often not listed in the descriptions, but if Continental size is important to the buyer, they should research that before purchasing, not give negative reviews when the product isn't what they wanted. That isn't something defective about the product!
