Is the Alcea 18/10 stainless steel flatware shiny?

Yes it is shiny. I've used the set for several months now and no changes in the appearance of the flatware have occured.

Yes, the set remains shiny. We have used the set daily since Jan 2013. The set is also well balanced and easy to handle.

It is more of a brushed nickle or a satin finish. Not that shiny stainless look.

No, it is shiny stainless. All Clad had a line that has a brushed finish. Go to allclad.com and look at their pan series.

Hansgrohe uses the term 'Steel Optik' which is confusing. I would say it is a stainless steel finish with a fine brush finish. Definitely not chrome or shiny. It matches well with my stainless sink and appliances. It doesn't look cheap like a lot of the low-end stainless steel appliances.

Yes it does. I have the same one and has been very good so far. A little shiny but I don't mind it.

These pieces are 18/0, which means the stainless steel contains contains 18% chromium and 0% nickel. The nickel, if present, would have given the metal a brilliant luster and resistance to staining. Instead, these pieces will have a soft shine, and will stain.

Pretty sure it is polished stainless, though I couldn't say for sure. I have had no flaking with 2+ months of heavy use (3-4 uses per day)

Unknown, The packaging and instructions are long gone. It is in almost daily use. The stainless steel finish is still shiny and no apparent sign of any degradation.

Hi, The set I bought is all shiny, not seeing any brushed. This silverware is very sturdy and durable. Holds up in dishwasher. Heavier weight & great for everyday use or special occasions. I bought a set for 8 then turned around & bought another set for 4. The best I've used in 58 years of life. Hope this helps you. P.S. Well worth the money.

It is neither gold-plated nor silver-plated. It is 18/10 stainless steel, which is a high quality stainless steel that wears welllike silver and shows off almost as well without the polishing. I only purchase 18/10 stainless flatware, because the productkeeps its gloss and brilliance for years. I hope this helps. June.

I called Ispasa. Shiny surface is not Stainless Steel let alone it being surgical. Its polished Aluminum. Hot Aluminum is not good when used with things one eats!

Not sure. It's light, might be cast aluminum. It's very shiny, solid and works great though, I love it. Haven't put it through the washer, no need because it doesn't get very messy, plus if it is aluminum, it might lose it's shine.

I believe it is a satin finish. It was purchased as a gift, I no longer have the flatware to check. I did check my set of Wallace 80-piece flatware . . . a toally different pattern but it does have a satin finish.

I gave it as a gift to a friend who lives in another country. Although I saw the flatware before gifting it, I have no recollection on the finish. I remember it was very nice and my friend loves it!

I have the white and it's not exactly either. It's not metallic if that is what you mean nor it a flat white. It just looks like a white painted/powder coated metal rack. I will say the finish is good and I do not believe that it will chip and mine have not chipped despite the fact that I hung it where it is sometimes hit by a door if my kids aren't careful. I have three of these racks and I love them.
