I've ordered 2 sets & here are my thoughts, along w/hopefully answering the other reviewer's question. I knew when I ordered they were 18/0 (not 18/10), yet the set is still substantial and stylish. I believe I recall the presentation saying they were dishwasher safe, & I've been putting mine through the dishwasher. I've only had them a month or so, but so far they seem to be holding up fine. After long-term use, hope the same will still be true. Although it didn't bother me, some people will be turned off by the "TE" engraved right on the front of the utensil where you take a bite. Little 'egoish' & you can actually feel the engraving on your tongue. Just forewarning if you think that would bother you. Otherwise, overall, seems to be a good buy for the money, even more so at the clearance price, & especially if they withstand the test of time.
