I am so happy with this silverware.  It has a nice shine and a nice weight.  The pattern has a quiet elegance. We're still getting used to the size of the pieces as they are a bit larger than the silverware we replaced- not like some sets though.  It seems like everyone makes silverware for giants now.  Some of the sets you see are almost comically large.  This one is not.  I have put it through the dishwasher several times and so far have not seen any issues with rust.  However, I have been careful to use no heat drying and have been removing it promptly based on some of the other reviews.  I'm very happy with my purchase.
