I absolutely LOVE the set, all the pieces & the heavy weight to each one. Although, there are MAJOR problems with the finish. As you can see from the photos, there is a rough texture that shows black spots without the gray color. As for the picture of the canister lid, it had a piece of plastic holding the lid & when it was removed, you can see a shine from where the plastic was. I tried cleaning the lid with soap & water, but it did not help. I hope if anyone else orders this set you won't have these troubles. It is a GREAT set without my problems.
