I wanted to use the cutlery for a couple of months before providing a review.  I’m extremely happy with the set and love the 2 tone effect (brushed and shiny).  I was worried the bright finish may dull or the brushed finish might scratch but I can happily report that after 4 months of heavy use it looks the same as when I removed it from the box. No scratches and no tarnishing.  I only wish there was an option to purchase additional serving spoons - the set came with 2, including one slotted.
