This set arrived as pictured. Very well packaged. This is quality cookware. It is sturdy and the weight is good. I have a glass top stove. These pans have even heat distribution . The non stick works well also , although I do like a few drops of olive oil. I love the room this saves in my cupboard with the stacking technology. I can stack the pans without worry of them getting scratched. Also came with a lid organizer rack which I also find helpful in keeping organized. I honestly can’t say anything bad about this set. I absolutely love everything about it. I give it 5 stars and it is well worth the money.
