I really love the elegant look to these pots and pans. The Gold handle and blue are a rich design and the ceramic coating is totally non stick. Im giving it a 4 because I put a couple of the pans in the dishwasher and the shiny metal edging pulled significantly. So these might need to be hand washed if you care about the shiny edge. Notice the lids are flat and not dome shaped. I included a Pic of one of my other kids so you can see the difference. This flat design makes it easier to store all of the lids.
