Godinger

Frequently Asked Questions

• What Godinger products does Inhaven carry?

  Inhaven carries Godinger 18/0 stainless steel 20-piece flatware sets in patterns like Flagstaff, Lola, Bead, Chisel, Salem, Crete, and Ramp, in silver, gold, copper, black, and charcoal finishes.
• What does 18/10 versus 18/0 mean in flatware, and which should I choose for my vacation rental?

  The numbers describe the steel's recipe: the first is chromium content, the second is nickel.
  * 18/10 means 18 percent chromium and 10 percent nickel;
  * 18/0 means the same chromium with no nickel.
  Chromium provides the rust and corrosion resistance, while nickel adds extra luster, a slightly warmer shine, and a touch more tarnish protection.
  In practice, 18/10 is the premium standard with a heavier, finer feel, and 18/0 is the workhorse: still genuinely durable and good-looking, more affordable, nickel-free for guests with nickel sensitivities, and magnetic, which matters in commercial kitchens where magnetic retrievers rescue flatware from trash bins.
  For most vacation rentals, 18/0 is the smart choice. Flatware wanders, ends up in picnic baskets, and gets replaced often, so the economics favor a quality 18/0 pattern stocked deep with identical replacements.
  Reserve 18/10 for premium tier properties where the table is part of the rate story. Either way, the real standard is consistency: one pattern, replacement stock on the shelf, and a drawer that always counts complete.
• How should I plan flatware, drinkware and dinnerware quantities per unit?

  Outfit at 1.5 to 2 times sleeping capacity so the drawers and cabinets are never empty between dishwasher cycles. At up to 77% off MSRP, overstocking flatware is cheap insurance.
• How much can I save on Godinger through Inhaven?

  Inhaven members save up to 77% off MSRP on Godinger products, with wholesale pricing and case pack quantities built for professional vacation rental operations.
• What are the shipping and return options for Godinger products?

  Orders ship through Inhaven's distribution network. In-stock items typically leave the warehouse within 2 to 3 business days and arrive within 4 to 10 business days depending on destination. Oversized or freight items may require additional transit time.
  If an item arrives damaged, contact your Inhaven account team within 30 days of delivery to arrange a replacement, credit, or return.
• What is the difference between bone china, porcelain, and stoneware dinnerware, and what should I choose for my vacation rental?

  All three are fired ceramics; the differences are in the recipe and the result.
  * Porcelain is fired at very high temperatures from fine kaolin clay, producing a dense, bright white, chip-resistant plate. Commercial hotel porcelain, the kind made for foodservice, is the most durable of all and is why hotels standardize on it.
  * Bone china adds bone ash to the porcelain recipe, creating a thinner, lighter, slightly translucent plate with a warm white glow. It is surprisingly strong for its delicacy and reads unmistakably as luxury.
  * Stoneware is fired at lower temperatures from heavier clay, giving a thicker, more casual plate that takes color and glaze beautifully. It is the most affordable and the most characterful, though more prone to chipping than porcelain.
  For most vacation rentals, hotel-grade porcelain is the standard: it survives the dishwasher, the guests, and the years, and replacements always match.
  Choose stoneware where personality and budget lead, just stock a backup set per unit.
  Reserve bone china for premium properties where the table helps justify the rate. And for pool decks and patios, add melamine, the break-proof choice for anywhere glass and ceramic should not go.
