This is an eye appealing set. However I never used them as they arrived already damaged. They actually looked as if they had been used and scrubbed. The colorful finish on them was completely worn away on one of the utensils. This concerns me about the quality of the finish. I'm left to wonder how long after actual use they will still have their pretty appearance. The rainbow finish was also different on all of them. Some were not as appealing as others. I didn't expect to see them all uniformly finished the same but some were rather disappointing in appearance. I was also expecting a more sturdy feeling metal. I would rate the sturdiness of them as average.
