I was very impressed with this set and the way it was carefully packaged . .each piece was in its own plastic sleeve.  The weight of each piece was more than I thought it would be. . nice and substantial.   It was so beautiful and shiny that I didn't want to put it in the dishwasher [even though I could have.]  I washed and dried each piece by hand.  I haven't used it yet so I can't comment on how it fares in the dishwasher, but from first inspection I highly recommend this set.
