When I first got married & was needing to buy cookware off my registry @ Macy's, the sales person told me the best I could get was All Clad & having used what I bought for the past almost 20 years, I'd have to agree. So now, starting over after a divorce, no question about buying the best, on a smaller level/quantity-buying this beautiful cookware @ a great price here @ Wayfair was an easy choice! You can always buy cheaper, but this time know that buying a better quality will equate to more ease of cooking - and I need all the help I can get!
