I have a reed and barton set that is not 18/10. I have never had lenox , would anyone recommend this set.

personally if I were in the market for good silverware, I would not buy anything less than 18/10. It's very steardy, durable, stands the test of time. Anything less IMO is not good quality and you'll find this because it will bend, get out of shape eventually.

I have no experience with Lenox...I have Reed and Barton.....just wanted to say these sets are beautiful....and look so sturdy....you couldn't go wrong with any style...and the price is wonderful....I have no need for flatware or I would have made a purchase...

I ordered the last Lenox Flatware set that was a TSV and we LOVE it. we have been using it for quite a while and it has held up fantastic. It is very substantial and a nice weight, feels good in the hand and looks great. I would highly recommend this set and if you can, order the serving pieces. You can't go wrong.

I also have the last Lennox flatware set that was the TSV and I love it! I previously only purchased Reed and Barton 18/10. This set is much nicer , substantial and better quality then anything I had before. It also retains it shine and comes out of the dishwasher as shiny as it was when it arrived . I would highly recommend it .

I think this is a very good price for this set. I purchased a set of Lenox flatware for my sister for x-mas. I bought it from Direct Buy and when all was said and done I paid just over $100.00 for service for 8 and no serving pieces.

I would love to jump on this set, I am trying to downsize, and we are looking to move south when retiring. Will get a new 18/10 set when we land. I have R & B (a small set) and it is good, not great, good. It gets very spotty, whether it is our water or what not. I use Oxy Clean for the dishwasher and it does seem to help.

I know Costco has had an 18/10 silverware service for 12 for $90. Can't remember if it was Lennox or not.

I would like to buy this set, as I've been wanting to get a new one, but want something more ornate than what they have available.

I'm not crazy about the shape of the knives and I need more than 12 teaspoons. Otherwise, this seems like a great set.

I bought two of the 18/10 Lenox silver service from Costco (a few years ago) and love them.

Hmmmm - I do love it. Maybe I could use my "dining room" set for the kitchen and use this for "good." My kitchen flatware was "purchased" with Betty Crocker coupons back when I was in college in the '60's and is missing a lot of pieces, so maybe it's time for a change. Have always hated silver and returned every silver wedding gift I received - who wants to polish it? My mom had a set that she wanted to give me (my older sister had her own) but I convinced her to give it to my nephew's fiancé - figured she couldn't turn it down - lol. The only silver I own is four silver goblets one of my cats won at a show years ago - they are black now and I keep thinking I should polish them . . . .

It's a very complete set for the price! But I just can't get past their latest addition--SPORKS?!!?

My set is Oneida given to my husband and I by his Mom for Christmas one year. I was blown away by her generosity. I love the pattern too. We've used it ever since - that was probably 25-30 years ago. WOW! Looks (almost) as great today as it did then.

If I were in the market I'd pass on today's choices however.

I saw that and wondered why I would need a spork?

Trying to entice the Dixie Plates for the Holidays crowd?

I'd love a new set of flatware, but none of these patterns does it for me... I honestly wish I really liked one of them, but I guess I'll keep looking. I also don't need a service for twelve. I see they sold out of one of the choices, so they must be doing all right with it.

They have a much wider selection, different brands and some pretty patterns, but not as the TSV.

I didn't like that either. I have a Reed & Barton set from QVC from probably 15 years ago or more. It is 18/10 and holding up well and used every day.

Hey I like sparks! LOL Basically you can use them as spoons.

I actually liked the no pattern one the best (Bellevue) We have such hard water even with jet dry. I still get hard water spots in the creases of my R&B. Doesn't seem to bother my glasses tho. I routinely soak my silverware in vinegar.
