I arranged to send this set back as soon as it arrived. The flatware is listed as 18/10 ... 18 percent chromium content & ten percent nickel content. The nickel is what gives it shine and durability. This set, however, is actually 18/0 ... 18 percent chromium content and ZERO percent nickel content. These sets may carry a claim of being stainless & rust-proof, but 18/0 flatware is NOT stainless, as many of them end up rusting within weeks, & sometimes even after a single trip through a dishwasher. Great Offer Stock is wonderful, though ... a free return label was e-mailed to me immediately; no question. The representative also set a full refund in motion while I was still on the phone with him. Thank you, James in Utah!
