Product Insights
The Modern Utensils Set Of 16 from Simons Maison is a fashion-driven, affordable ($39 CAD) flatware set with a runway-inspired wood-grain finish and thick textured handles that provide a secure grip and ease for arthritic users, backed by Simons' 184-year heritage. However, buyers report the plastic handles chip and dent with minimal use, the wood-grain texture looks artificial, the finish is glossier and duller than online images (particularly for the beige variant), the set lacks small forks and has impractically small teaspoons, sharp metal edges may require filing, and hand washing is necessary to prevent dishwasher damage. This low-cost pick offers a dressy look for casual occasions like cottages, RV trips, or picnics, but its durability and design trade-offs make it unsuitable for daily use or formal dining.

Deep Research
Simons Maison brand quality and reputation
- La Maison Simons has operated since 1840 as a family-run Canadian department store, so the Simons Maison line carries the institutional trust of a retailer with over 180 years of continuous service, making its store-brand products a low-risk purchase even without a standalone brand history.
- Simons is a fashion department store at its core, and Simons Maison extends that seasonal, trend-aware approach to home goods, meaning the Modern Utensils Set's design language mirrors current runway sensibilities rather than traditional flatware forms, giving it a contemporary edge that feels deliberate and of-the-moment.
- At $39 CAD for a 16-piece set, the price matches mass-market home brands, yet the design is a Simons exclusive not sold elsewhere, giving buyers a unique tabletop look without the premium typically attached to designer exclusives and keeping the commitment low enough to experiment with the brand.
The type of stainless steel and what it means
- At roughly $2.44 per utensil, this set sits in the entry-level tier where flatware is manufactured from 18/0 stainless steel — an alloy containing 18% chromium and no nickel, chosen specifically because omitting nickel reduces production cost at the expense of the metal’s ability to resist rust and staining.
- The listing’s specific advisory that dishwasher use may cause premature wear follows directly from this nickel-free composition: without nickel to stabilize its passive chromium oxide film, the steel is susceptible to chloride-induced pitting during the intense heat and humidity of a dishwasher cycle, eventually dulling the finish and creating pinpoint rust spots.
- Keeping the utensils away from heat sources, as instructed, is a necessary precaution with 18/0 steel because its lower thermal stability can lead to warping or localized discoloration when exposed to hot surfaces, and these altered areas lose their protective oxide layer and become prime sites for corrosion.

Déception modèle imitation bois
J’ai retourné ce produit. La couleur était aucunement semblable à la photo en ligne. Plutôt beige/brun très fade et imitation bois peu réussie. Les commentaires étaient si positifs que je me suis rendue en magasin croyant que j’étais tombée sur la mauvaise boîte et même constat en personne. Par contre, les autres couleurs sont plutôt attrayantes.

Solide
Belle qualité. J’aime la forme des ustensiles. Je vais les laver à la main car je crains pour le plastique dans le lave vaisselle.
These are honestly pretty great!
These forks feel nice in the hand and are easy to clean. I have not had them very long so I can't comment on how durable they will be long term. The small spoons are a little bit too small in my opinion.. but the forks are quite nice.
Élégant
Malgré le bois, je trouve l'ensemble élégant. Nous l'utilisons à notre roulotte saisonnière au camping.

Disappointing quality
Unfortunately, the quality of the plastic is quite poor - half of the utensils have dents on them or little chunks taken out of the plastic handles

Great utensils
I have a set of red utensils bought at Simons about 6 years ago. They have worn well but I wanted another 4 place settings. The new ones are even better quality and the rivets mean the red plastic won't move. I am amazed how exact the colour is to the original set. As usual I am very impressed with Simon's quality and excellent tracking and delivery.

I’m so happy with the cutlery set. I have severe arthritis in my hands and the handles make them easy to hold. I’m loving the bunnies and carrot decorations. They are a wonderful addition to my Easter decor.

Good Value
I bought these for outdoor use. They are a good quality for the price. I wash these by hand. The only shortfall is that the teaspoon is small - more like a demitasse.

love the aesthetic they remind me of my parents’ cutlery growing up, it’s different from just getting a plain metal set. although i wish the colour was a bit darker but that’s just me.
Couverts légers.
Pas trop gros et légers, ce que je préfère.
Looking good!
I really like the style of this set! Will just give the rustic touch I wanted on my Christmas dinner table this year! Only one thing, I find the size of the little spoon too small, it is like for people with very little mouth. Overall I am happy and would recommend this set! Fingers crossed they won’t deteriorate too too fast because of the dishwasher.
Corrects, sans plus
Corrects, sans plus. Les manches ont une texture très plastique qui laisse une impression de couverts de mauvaise qualité. Nous les utilisons pour le pique-nique. Je doute fort qu'ils durent longtemps.

I like the look, but they feel cheaply made.

Bought as gift. Perfect gift fir a male friend.

These utensils are really nice and of good quality! My only complaint is that they don’t come with small forks

Beautiful accent and easy grip. Not bulky. I prefer to handwash these to preserve the quality.
Looks good
Naught as a Xmas gift for our holiday trailer, looks cute in the box, they don’t appear to be too flimsy. The soup spoon is really large, not that we will use it much anyway. Colour is perfect

Il manque les fourchettes à salade que je n'avais pas remarqué.
J'aurais aimé un bois aussi foncé que la présentation.
J’adore les achats en ligne
Sauf un peu déçu des ustensiles
Look nice
Have the same in noble wood abanos. Will see by comparison how they do. Would not recommend dishwasher ;)
Well Made and comfortable to use.
We started using these right away. Comfortable in the hand and the knives have a good cutting edge. There is only one size of fork, but we can live with that.
Nice quality, and attractive shade

Terrific Buy
Bought this set for my son's apartment, very nice quality for the price. I have not been a Simons shopper but i am now in my quest to support Canadian stores. No, they cant deliver overnight, but they have some great products at good pricing, so im changing my shopping habits.
Beaux ustensiles !
Se démarquent sur la table - restent beaux après lavage
Impressed!!!
Wow - these exceeded my expectations! I was eyeing a similar (but very expensive) brand that was way out of budget, and I’m so glad I gave these a try instead. They look far more expensive than they are and have a nice weight to them - light, but not flimsy. I was a bit nervous about the light colour staining (pasta sauce!), but they clean beautifully and are totally dishwasher safe. Honestly, such great quality at an affordable price - I love them!

Q&A
2 answered- Is the colored finish painted, coated, or anodized? Will it fade, peel, or chip with regular dishwasher use?
- The colored finish is likely applied via Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD), a common method for colored stainless steel cutlery that creates a durable, thin coating. However, the product notes that dishwasher use may cause premature wear, so some fading or chipping is possible over time with frequent machine washing.
- Does this set come with a storage tray or organizer, or is it intended to be stored loosely?
- No, this set does not include a storage tray or organizer. The product listing mentions only the 16 utensils (forks, knives, spoons, teaspoons) and no accessories. You would need to store them loosely in a drawer or purchase a separate organizer.
