Lenox 893677 Portola Black 20-Piece Flatware Set

I love the rich black shiny color of this flatware. I use it with multiple dinnerware patterns and they are just as beautiful as when I first purchased them.

The mirror finish gives this set an elegant look. Love that it is dishwasher safe.

I have researched black flatware sets over a 2-month period, bought a few and sent them all back. Until I found these - very sturdy, brand name, no rough tines, good looking and no rust and/or chipping. For the three months that I have had them, they are used daily and have been put in the dishwasher. Still look like I just got them!

The few people that has been over and saw them wants to know where to get them. Its exactly what I wanted. Great feel Great Look Great Clean

This is a beautiful set but not the standard I’d expect from Lenox. Purchased because it specifically stated they were dishwasher safe; they began to rust the first time they were washed in the dishwasher.

They were a great buy, I bought 3 sets for less than I was going to pay elsewhere for 2 sets. They are a great value, fits nicely in your hand.

I recently purchased the Lenox Portola 20-Piece Flatware Set in Black and I'm genuinely disappointed with my experience. The design of this set is appealing with its sleek black finish, but unfortunately, it doesn't live up to expectations when it comes to practicality and quality. The first issue I encountered was the set's inability to hold up in the dishwasher. For a product in this price range, I assumed it would be dishwasher safe, which is an essential feature for modern convenience. However, this isn't the case with this set. After washing, I noticed considerable wear and tear, which is unacceptable for an item marketed as high-quality flatware. Moreover, the overall quality of the flatware left much to be desired. With a weight of 3.45 LB, I expected sturdy and durable utensils. However, the actual product didn't meet these expectations. The pieces felt flimsy and were not as robust as I would have liked. All in all, this set didn't provide the quality or convenience I expected. I feel the product is not worth its price point due to these significant drawbacks. For those considering the Lenox Portola 20-Piece Flatware Set, I would recommend exploring other options that offer both quality and dishwasher safety.

I bought these for a gift in late January and they were just now used & ran through the dishwasher for the first time an are already rusted. Description said DISHWASHER SAFE.
