does it hold up over time

They seem to be ok but I did have 1 or 2 pieces look like they had a little rust after a few runs through the dishwasher which I took as strange for stainless steel-over all they seem ok- I purchased 4 complete sets

I love mine, have had it for about a year and it's beautiful and just as nice as if they were new. HOWEVER....I ordered 2 extra sets of serving pieces and for some reason one is a lighter weight than the other (less metal, you can see it's thinner). I would address this with the seller before buying the serving pieces. The big set was fine. We use it every day.

We loved our original set so much we added to it this year.It wears well and just looks better with time. Our newer set is not quite as heavy(18/10 weight as the original (18/8 but is close- Reed & Barton no longer carries the heavier weight. Definitely worth the cost- jut be sure to check the description. we sent one set back as it a newer version with a small change to the pattern. grooves appear to be stamped and didn't have the depth or go all the way around utensil.

I've only had this set since November but still looks great with light use.

I've had it for about 6 mos. I run them in the DW and have had no problems with rust spots or stains.

Best set I ever owned. Dishwasher safe, no spotting. Love my set. Saw reed and barton store and was going back to buy more. My wife stopped me and said we don't need anymore. Stays shiny, love my set.

Yes it does last.. I am on my 2nd one now. My first one lasted for several years.

It really holds up. I have had mine on for a couple of months and it is good as new. I won't buy anything else when I purchase again.

We've had ours for about 2 years and it's holding up just fine. (We use it as a game table so its not used every day.)

Somewhat. I've had mine for several months and about take it all week with me. Its holding up pretty good.

No but it has not been a problem. Unless you are very rough on using it, it should last.

It seems to be. We've had ours over a year and it we still love it! It's been over a couple of times too and it's still holding up.

I had it for a couple of years and it appears to be holding up OK (no obvious links, failure of seals or cap, brittleness of materials). I only drag it with me when I need the volume so it's getting used 3-4 times a year. It's currently on loan to a trusted buddy. I am fairly careful with it because it's made of materials that could puncture it so I don't pack it next to a spork or put it on the outside of my pack in a spot where a branch could poke it.

Yes. I have not had it more than a few months. But I am still just as pleased with it. What I cannot report on is durability.

A little bit, yes. It's held up really well, actually, and that's with everyday use with two kids and a cat on it, so I recommend it.

Not that I'm aware of its holding strong though a year after I bought it, hope that helps.

I have it for about two years now and it is holding up just fine. No discoloration. Keeping its original shape & color. So far.

I also have not had a problem with it. In fact, it's held up great for the almost 2 years I've had it.

Mine has held up beautifully. However, I must mention that I ride a road bike 3-4x a week, on smooth asphalt terrain, and for only about 8 miles at a stretch. So, in truth, it has not been subjected to any notable or adverse wear and tear

My daughter is now 13 and still uses it. I think she got it when she was 9 or 10. It has held up really well also.

It's holding up well. We just use it inside though so it hasn't changed color at all. Hope that helps.

I have had mine for a year. So far it holds up fine. The lumbar supports help a lot in an area that does tend to blow out over time.
