I have had the silverware for a week or so, I love them, they look amazing with my new dishes from wayfair as well. I have a dishwasher, but we wash every thing by hand, cause there is only the two of us. I have read one person had rust down on the bottom part, from being in the dishwasher. I am sure if they are taken out when the machine is done, there should be no trouble. We’ll see what happens in time. The comment did not distract me from buying then, they are just beautiful, I can’t wait to have company.
