The pots are really well made. The sauce pans are narrow and deep which takes a little getting used to but once you use them a few times they are fine. Actually I have kept my stove top cleaner because of no spill over! They do take up a little more room in my cabinet but not a big issue. Clean up very easily. They are not dishwasher safe but I bought them just for that reason. I have ruined several pots and pans by putting them in dishwasher even though they said dishwasher safe!
