I have owned two of these sets for a little over a month. I love the look and so far no spotting or rusting (which was an issue with my old flatware). Before using these, I switched dishwasher detergents. I read reviews which said that lemon scented detergents can cause issue with rust spots. Not sure if the changed help, but they come out of the dishwasher looking good as new. The only thing I wish is that the hammered design persisted on the back of the flatware (it's only hammered on the back of the knife), otherwise, I couldn't be happier. I'm still giving them 5 stars because of their value.
