About Oneida
Oneida is an American tableware brand with over 130 years of history, best known for flatware, silverware, and dinnerware that have been staples of American households and restaurants since the late 1800s. Originally a community silverware producer in upstate New York, Oneida has evolved into a licensed brand producing stainless steel flatware, silver-plated serving pieces, and coordinated table setting collections distributed through major retailers and directly online.
Their product lineup centers on flatware sets in a wide range of patterns—from classic elegant silverware designs to contemporary minimalist styles—alongside matching serving pieces, hollow handle knives, and complete place setting collections. Oneida's restaurant-grade stainless steel construction means their flatware is particularly durable for everyday use, designed to withstand commercial dishwasher cycles that household-grade alternatives may not tolerate.
Oneida's direct website runs frequent promotional events with 30–50% off flatware sets, making their mid-range pricing (between Walmart basics and high-end brands like Reed & Barton) even more accessible. Wedding registry inclusion is common, and their 45/50-piece service sets provide complete household flatware for under $75 during sale events—genuine value at a meaningful quality tier above mass-market alternatives.
Quick Savings Tips
- Flatware service sets (45-piece, 50-piece) deliver the best per-piece pricing vs. open stock purchases
- Restaurant-grade 18/10 stainless construction is dishwasher-safe and significantly more durable than 18/0 alternatives
- Promotional sales of 30–50% off run regularly—wait for sale pricing on any full flatware set purchase
- Pattern matching for open stock replacements is easier direct through Oneida than through third-party retailers
- Wedding registry sets frequently include serving pieces—complete table setting packages offer better value than flatware alone
