These were beautiful when they first arrived. I don't even have a dishwasher though,and I gently wash them by hand. If you are looking for silverware that holds up, this is NOT it. After one year, the finish is coming off of every single piece. Not to mention when I originally ordered them, the forks had prongs that were all mishaped and sharper than a razor blade. I am very disappointed with the money I spent on TWO sets of these. It's a shame.
