Mikasa Mila Gold Plated 45-Piece Stainless Steel Flatware Set with Serveware, Service for 8

This is the fourth set of flatware I've purchased hoping to find "The One". My hopes have been dashed again.The GOOD: This is very shiny silver and a sleek design (harmony pattern). It is 18/10 so should be rust resistant. I like the teaspoon. The price is good.The BAD:FINISH: High mirror finish is easily smudged by just picking it up. I don't think my hands are oily, yet the smudges where I touched them are quite visible.SIZE: These are HUGE utensils. Longer and wider than either of my Oneida sets. The knife is 9 1/2" long and does not fit in my silverware holder. The serrated edge is barely visible and won't be cutting anything other than a baked potato. The dessert fork is the same length as my regular Oneida dinner fork and it is also wider than a regular fork. The tablespoon or soup spoon is the size of a serving spoon. The only utensil that is near a normal size is the teaspoon.WEIGHT: I have been comparing these to my existing older sets all day trying to decide if I can live with these oversized utensils. It just doesn't feel comfortable. And oddly, even though they are so much larger, they do not weigh anymore than my normal sized set. I wouldn't call this a flimsy set, but it is not what I would call "substantial". With the wide double sided handle on the knife, I was surprised it didn't feel any heavier than the fork. Normally, I like there to be more weight in the handles of my flatware than this set provides.CONCLUSION: I give it 3 out of 5 stars overall. The quality seems good, but usability is not. I think that it will be going back. *Sigh* I bought this one and a couple others from Amazon because it was Prime with free returns. I do not see any other sets I like that comes with Prime. I don't know if I want to take a chance on being stuck with silverware that I don't like so I'll probably wait and buy something from a store - whenever they open again after this COVID-19 craziness subsides.

I am disappointed that these are not identical to the original Zena pattern I purchased 20 years ago. They are not stamped with the same markings and indicate they are manufactured in Vietnam. It’s not the same quality; the spoons especially (large and small) are much more curved. On a positive note, they look similar enough, so it’s not so noticeable to guests. I don’t know how long they will last, but I’m glad I at least have more flatware for entertaining.

We bought this to match our existing set. We love the look and the weight. No issues so far with rust. We keep them in drawers and in woven separation trays. They do fine in the dishwasher as well.

I was fortunate to find this set on a warehouse markdown after looking at countless sets of minimalist and modern sets and couldn't be happier! Each piece is beautiful, supple (can you say that about flatware?), and has decent weight so it doesn't feel cheap. The pieces are balanced in my hands affected by rheumatoid arthritis which makes using some pieces of flatware difficult and I don't feel as if I am going to drop a utensil or can't grip the knife securely to cut firm vegetables. While I looked at the only American-made flatware company's offerings, I found this set to be the most attractive when compared and the warehouse deal couldn't be beat.

Truly lovely flatware set - each utensil is well-balanced with a nice heft that speaks of high quality. The 18/10 stainless maintains its beautiful shine through everyday use and dishwashing. The Mikasa Harmony design is classic, yet modern, and fits in with any table setting. Very happy with this purchase!

I stumbled across this pattern when I was looking for some nice ice tea spoons. After buying a set of 4 ice tea spoons, enjoying them, and realizing I wanted more than 4 - I went looking on Amazon where I pleasantly discovered the demitasse spoons, hors d'oeuvre forks, & spreaders. I knew that if I didn't get the silverware to go with the hors d'oeuvre forks .... etc. that I would forever regret it.Not only are all of the pieces in this design nice to hold, they are a pleasure to place in your mouth. This design is very impressive, and well thought out. So glad I stumbled across it.There are also steak knives that go with this set that are steak worthy and worth getting if you can find them.

Couldn't decide whether to order based on previous customer feedback. Went ahead and now regret my choice. This is 18/10 stainless very heavy, solid and shiny BUT does not match my previous set of the same pattern by the same manufacturer. In the photos you can tell especially at the middle of the knife. The older knife has a distinct rounded ball. The newer knife is flat. Older made in Indonesia newer made in Vietnam but I doubt that is relevant. Looks like a pattern change to a cheaper model. Yes, it looks cheap. $90.00 for an eight-piece setting is too much.

This is beautiful, heavy-weight flatware. I bought if for a gift for my daughter's family. It comes with a nice service set. I bought 2 sets so that her larger family would have plenty of pieces. It is comfortable in the hand, and a pleasure to eat with!

It was perfect and exactly as advertised!!

Quality product. Adding to a set of the same kind we all ready own. Great quality.
