I checked out hundereds of reviews on multiple different brands from every website imaginable. This set had the best of the best reviews not only for customers who were just receiving the item but also for buyers who had been using the pots and pans for months. I couldnt be happier with the color and the finish. They are super easy to clean. Easy to store in cupboards and are eco-friendly. I would expect a set of cookware of this quality to be more expensive than this. Couldnt be happier
