Some may not like the visible branding.
Made In’s well-priced flatware is used in restaurants worldwide and is lauded for its classic design and commercial-level durability. Forks and spoons are made of 18/10 stainless steel—the kind used for high-end cookware—while the knives are made of a single piece of 18/0 steel, which makes the blades tougher.
This set comes in your choice of four- or eight-place settings, both of which include a dinner fork, salad fork, tablespoon, dessert spoon, and dinner knife. Each one is comfortably contoured to fit the hand and has a nice weight that gives you plenty of control whether you’re twirling pasta or cutting into meatloaf and veggies. The pieces are all dishwasher safe and come backed with Made In’s lifetime warranty against defects in material and workmanship.

This set from Lenox delivers high-quality flatware at a big value. The set includes 65 pieces—that’s 12 five-piece place settings. Plus, it comes with a five-piece serving set that includes a serving spoon, pierced serving spoon, sugar spoon, butter knife, and serving fork. Just note that since they’re the most lightweight option on this list, there isn’t much heft to them.
Made of 18/10 stainless steel, these pieces have a shiny mirrored finish and a subtle beaded design on the handles that can mesh seamlessly with nearly any table decor, whether you’re going for a casual rustic vibe or a more formal setting. They’re also dishwasher safe for easy cleaning but will hold up best if washed by hand.
