Flatware Set 20 Piece Service for 4 Zena Silver

I am a snob about my flatware. It has to have a good weight and this set does! Only thing is you will have to put them in the dishwasher eating side first. The handles will slip through the holes but other than that they are great!

I was searching for one more serviing set to complete my set. I found the other 2 cheaper at TJMAXX but was searching and could not find a 3rd set so Amazon to the rescue. Matches perfectly

I like this silverware collection for the most part. I like the weight of the knives and wish the rest of the set had more heft. My other negative is the salad and dinner forks; they look so similar that you can’t tell them apart to sort. I literally have to put them side by side to tell which size is which.

Chose Mikasa Zena as part of our wedding registry in 1993. I absolutely love this pattern and the sturdiness with which it handles (no dainty silverware for us!). Then it disappeared for 20 years, which was disappointing because over that time we lost some, and accidentally ran the disposal on more than a few. But they’re back. They’re not 18/10 like our original set, but they’re in such pristine condition that we’re in love with them all over again. Thank you Mikasa!

I was fortunate enough to find these at a Home Goods store for much cheaper but needed more. Definitely worth the money for me. Best set of silverware I’ve ever owned! Easy to hold, superb quality and hold up the dishwasher.

We’ve had the previous version of this silverware for over 20 years, and it has held up beautifully. We only ordered another set because some pieces have disappeared. “Have kids,” they said… ”It’ll be fun,” they said…

My first experience with Mikasa dates back to the 1980’s when my Mother and I were shopping for my wedding day, and for crystal stemware. I still have and use that stemware today, and I still am a Mikasa lover after all these years. Not all that long ago, I had purchased on Amazon, Mikasa’s Novaro 20-Piece Flatware Set. That set is beautiful and I love it. I love it so much that I thought I would purchase the - Mikasa Zena 18.0 20 Piece Forged Stainless Steel Flatware Set, Service For 4 – to gift to my son and his wife who need a replacement for their now faded rose gold set. This Zena Flatware set is nice but I don’t like it as much as Mikasa’s Novaro Flatware. This could be because the Novaro is 18.10 stainless whereas this Zena set is 18.0. This does however make Zena a more affordable set for everyday use. The simplicity of Zena’s design does not excite me as much as the design of the Navaro set, nor does the metal finish look as nice. Also, the flatware in the Zena set doesn’t feel as nice in the hand as does the Novaro. Lastly, the first fork that I had picked up has prongs that are uneven/slightly bent. See attached photo. I have yet to check the others. Overall, I like this set but I think next time I'll stick to 18.10 stainless for my flatware.

We received two sets of this silverware as wedding shower gifts this past summer. While we love them, we haven’t even had them for 6 months yet and multiple pieces have started to rust. My previous set of Mikasa silverware was purchased while still in college and despite abusing and using the crap out of them for over a decade, I never had one spot of rust. Very disappointed in this product as it seems the quality has taken a turn.
