Durable and still not had any wear on the color - even with placing them in dishwasher.

We owned this "black" flatware less than 3 weeks when the black is disappearing or rubbing off. I'm not sure if we ingested it, but now we have 40 pieces of flatware that are two different colors on each piece. We want a refund for this cheap imitation item.

The set looks alright. However, be aware this flatware set is not matte finish. The shiny gold finish gives off a bit of the cheap look. The real product doesn't look as elegant as in the photos. Somehow the shade of gold in the real product looks tacky... They charge you lots for return shipments. Therefore, think thoroughly before you order.
