Early reviews complained of cheaper materials. Did these get updated over the years? Do the pieces in this set look/feel cheaper than other sets?

My son loves having the wheels and this set will connect with the other sets that I have bought him.

Hi Tootsie, I had mentioned it in one of my reviews. Please note that it is NOT made from cheaper materials and has never been made from that. Sets such as the cruiser require the material to be thinner and lighter to allow it to be mounted on wheels (or other such accessories). The other sets have thicker magnets because that is required by design. I would recommend this set without a hitch.

Maybe I'm wrong since 2 others seem confident but the only black handled flatware I saw recently in P.B. was not the same. From what I remember, the handles were not as dark and they were "flatter." Maybe P.B. carries another black handled than the one I saw that is identical or close to as the Montana one but I only saw one. This is nicer and better quality (and less expensive).

It was a gift almost a year ago so I don't see it everyday. But what I do know is that we were all happy with the set in person so I'm thinking its pretty true to what you see. Good luck.

Yes. To be honest, I had to look at the box before I answered. I bought the set because it was beautiful and a good price. If you decide to buy it, I think you will be very happy with it.

I do not understand what you are asking. If you want to compare this set to others - - you would need to specify which other sets you want to compare and not just their prices.

I think the main difference is the 20 piece set style is a bit better quality; it's shatter-proof and tempered glass. I wouldn't buy them on amazon though...if you can, costco is a better option. I got my 20 piece set for around $35 there.

No. I was very disappointed! Who really wants to pay that for ONE incasement. I've found others that were in the same price range...just as nice, but came in a set. I should've known better when it didn't say set of 2 as most do. I won't make that mistake again and I type in either set or cases to help myself not jump and buy something without paying attention closely. Hope this helps!

everything is just open and painted pictures as you see them...I loved this for the price...sturdy for an upright dollhouse and portable to put away or take somewhere if needed. I liked the modern over the traditional..pretty much the same thing except the traditional looked to be mostly pink in color and clawfoor tub, bicycle..different furniturefrom the modern. The modern had a computer, moped scooter, updated furniture etc. and more color variety..You definitely can't go wrong for the price of $30-35 dollars. I'm 5'6" and it is about waist high..and not $100.00...Hope this helps...I was very happy with this purchase for my 5yr old granddaughter. everything is just open and painted pictures as you see them...I loved this for the price...sturdy for an upright dollhouse and portable to put away or take somewhere if needed.

Yeah, they are from different kinds from different sets. you can actually contact them, and let them know which sets you like better, and they will give you more of that stuff.

I bought a set at dept store on sale last fall then wanted to add just two additional 5 piece place settings & was only offered as same large service set as dept store only much more expensive on Oneida website than on sale at dept store. I then found only the same large service set of Stafford Mirror on Amazon priced less than dept store sale price so ordered set from Amazon. Very elegant w/ good china at Thanksgiving yet I didn't have to polish but I purchased for everyday use w/ my multi-colored sets of Fiestaware. Looks very nice w/ my Fiestaware, also & Nice weight to hold & use, especially the table knife.

I had the same question. Being a cheapskate I ordered the less expensive one. I'm quite happy with it. Do need a handy man to put it together took some time but I'm very happy and get many compliments on my set.

I'm not sure. I bought the set on a recommendation from a friend - I haven't seen the pieces individually elsewhere.

It doesn't say on it but it isn't as heavy as stone wear nor as as light as porcelan. I bought my first set like this thirty years ago. It was getting some chips and scratches so I wanted this pattern again. The insignia on the back is slightly different but the set is really nice and wearing well so far even when my husband loads or unloads the dishwasher! I think you would like this fine.

Mine were made in Cihina they aren't flimsy and are very nice. I wish I had an old set to compare but I think you would be happy with the set

I have not had those issues with my set, but I want to point out I rarely get to use my set due to only being home occasionally. My toddler nieces enjoy them when they visit. No visible chrome scratches so far from them climbing up and down the stools. When I do use them, they never disappoint as far as performance. They look just as good today as they did upon coming out of the box.

We have only used them about four times. So far no problems. We have friends with more expensive sets and I don't see much of a difference. We are novices...so I'm no expert but the set seems worth the money
