We are very happy with the way the range looks as well as how it cooks.  We have several problems with it:  First of all, it is very difficult to keep the top cooking surface clean.  This is in part because the surface is black and shows every little speck, spot, and spill.  Another color, such as gray, might have been much more practical.  Because the surface is such a dark color, it never looks totally clean.  Another problem is that the range has a rubber strip just above the control knobs and below the cooking surface.  Surely there is a better way to design this using a different material.  Crumbs are constantly falling behind the rubber strip and it is just about impossible to keep this area clean.  Paper towels with a surface cleaner would be my first choice for materials to clean this area, however, the paper towel turns to lint which becomes trapped along the rubber strip.  I find myself keeping a toothbrush under the sink to use for the sole purpose of trying to keep the rubber strip clean.  I am very diligent about cleaning the stove after every use (and this use is somewhat light because there are only two people in the household), and find that it is extremely difficult, even impossible to keep the range truly clean.  Additionally, the metal that is used around the control touch pad and stove knobs is not robust at all.  It dents and chips with very little use and although it looks "okay" after less than two months' use, I can only imagine what it will look like after a few years' use.  Our house burned to the ground after 37 years of marriage and we were forced to replace not only the house, but all of its contents as well.  We bought the Frigidaire Gallery Collection refrigerator, gas range, microwave, and dishwasher with the hope of having an attractive well made matching stainless steel equipped kitchen. We have been happy with the microwave and dishwasher.  The refrigerator is "okay," and will be able to provide adequate service for us, however, it seems cheaply made and the configuration of its interior does not seem well thought out at all. It seems quite flimsy and the internal configuration is not as efficient as it could be. The gas range is a big concern regarding how well it will stand up to use and what it will look like in a few years or even months.  I really, really wanted to like the gallery collection but can't really recommend it, especially the gas range and refrigerator.
