Love the look and feel of these in my hand. Lots of pieces included for the price, which is nice. I have noticed that some of the brush finished on a few pices have become scratched, which I'm not surprised by. These are our eveyday utensils that are tossed in the sink and ran through the dishwasher, so some wear is to be expected. Overall I'm happy with the purchase. It's a step up from the mix match we were using before.
