This item is sold at a couple boutique kitchen stores and I decided to get it from Wayfair to check it out. I like the look of the item, it seems pretty durable but I still have yet to put it in the dishwasher to confirm the " dishwasher safe" statement. The only thing I'm a little concerned about is that some of the outer silver coating/polish was missing in one of the little grooves...and I'm a bit OCD so this was something I spotted and thought about returning the silverware over..but once I saw it on my table I decided to keep it. Now, should the dishwasher take off the silver or just general every day usage start to damage this, I'll come back and update my review.
