Does Oiled Bronze color rub off where handled most and does it scratch easily?

I have not had that experience. I've used cleansers and scrubbed off hard water deposit without losing any of the finish or color.

I have not noticed any of the color rubbing off anywhere and it does not scratch anymore than other material.

The ones I purchase from a previous purchase has not, I have not had these long enough to know.

I have the light natural finish and I really love my chairs, so I don't know about the stained ones but they appear to be oiled.

I have champaign gold version myself and it is a pretty light color too. Mine does not have any marks or dirt on it. So I think you' ll be fine. In the worst scenario you can take it off and clean it.

I bought this for my in-laws. I couldn't remember how dark it was until I was over there tonight. It is very much the classic oil-rubbed bronze (dark, almost black) look. The picture on Amazon makes it look much lighter than it is.

Aluminum painted black with a bit of texture to it, it's really nice but it does scratch if you are really rough with it.

It has a dull shine to it "brushed nickel" I believe. As long as you don't use an abrasive cleaner on it, it should not show scratches. The brushed finish is great, its more of a matte shine, definitely will not see any reflections. Does not show scratches as far as I can tell, but I handle it pretty carefully.

Jason, brushed stainless shows a lot less spots, and is a very durable finish with a good warranty. Chrome is the best for guarantee, while much less for copper or oil rubbed bronze. So choose based on how you want your daily appearance to be, shiny with spots, or no shine but also no obvious spots.

I have had it for a year or so and it work well. Be careful what cleaners you use as mine mottled, and I am not sure what I used. I was able to scrub most of it off with a green 3M scourer but it does show the scratch marks. I think this was more my fault, than the fault of the manufacturer. Otherwise, very happy with it, and no issues.

I've had mine for over a month and have not oiled it. No sign of rust. I emailed the seller and he indicated it was stainless steel and wouldn't rust. I don't have any enamel coated stoneware so cannot answer as to whether it would scratch it. I have used it on glass pans without scratches. Hope this helps!

The lacquer doesn't wear off. Unless you drop it on jagged stone it should be scratch free.

We have the dark brown and we love it. We haven't had any problems with scratching or water spots.

Judging by the set I have owned for over 10 years, there is not a lot of tarnishing. The more you use it the more polishing that is required. I am not as happy with this new set as my original. The copper seems thinner which means if you over heat it, the copper will discolor.

The cherry is just fine and has held up well for 6 months. I wouldn't worry about scratches. Once you oil it, some of the scratches disappear anyway.

I also purchased the Surge multi-tool with the black oxidized finish. Mine was not shiny either. It had a somewhat "oily" coating that did seem a little smudged but now after use looks just fine. It definitely should not have come with scratches on it however. I use the multi-tool everyday. It has taken a beating and just keeps on going. To me a few scratches would not have been a huge deal because, as a tool, I know that I will be adding some scratches as my own during use. But if the scratches bother you, I'm sure that would be a good enough reason to return it. Some advice though: do not return it and get something different. This is by far the best multi-tool that I have ever owned! I also purchased the Surge multi-tool with the black oxidized finish. Mine was not shiny either.

Mine don't scratch easily. However I've purchased used pieces that that were covered with knife/silverware marks. They come off surprisingly well by scrubbing with Barkeeper's Friend or Bon Ami (I prefer Barkeeper's Friend). Both of these products are sold by Amazon.

I've had mine for 8 months and haven't oiled it, but I didn't use it either. It still looks fine. I hope this helps.
