This is a nice looking set and it has some weight to it which I like.  I was very disappointed when I started seeing rust spots within the first two weeks. The description clearly states that this set is dishwasher safe, but even though we rinse our dishes really well before putting them into the dishwasher I wonder if hand washing and drying may have eliminated the rust spots.  Also note that the basehandle is pretty wide, so if you dishwasher basket has those individual slots, the fit might be a little tight.
